Dusit Thani Maldives

Exhale the stress of the world, and breathe in a deliciously salt-tinged, tropical breeze that tells your body one simple thing: relax, you've arrived in paradise. On a tiny island-gem in the middle of the Indian Ocean, Dusit Thani Maldives is a world unto itself, where one need only consider the sun, surf, and soft white sand.

Put another way, if Gilligan and his crew had been stranded on beautiful Mudhdoo Island, they would have cheered their good fortune. Seamlessly blending gorgeous beach atmosphere with sleek modern luxury, the 100 villas and residences of this Preferred Boutique property, part of the Preferred Hotel Group, are light and airy, yet cool and relaxing. Sliding glass doors create a harmonious flow from indoors to out, while the outdoor rainshower is a tantalizing prospect. Stretch out on your day bed next to your private pool, and sip your favorite glass of wine from, oh yes, your own in-villa wine cooler with a customized private selection. A warm, friendly staff ensures that your every desire is met, and a wonderful array of cuisines provides your palate with the perfect taste, day or night.
