My favourite destination as far as rest and recuperation is concerned is Mihiri Island in the Maldives and in particular the first class Mihiri Island Resort. Guests are accommodated in luxury beach villas and if you really want that beach experience of feeling the sand beneath your feet then book into one of the five villas situated on the south west side of the island. All of them are very tastefully decorated and feature air conditioning and mini bars. In addition to a fantastic reef, a spa and the obligatory diving school, each evening there is also a sumptuous open-air buffet served by the head chef. Wish you were here…?
