The epitome of an island hideaway Just 350m in length, Maafushivaru is small and romantic, with two wide beaches and a glorious lagoon. Sandy paths wind throughout, and individual thatched-roof rooms add to the island’s charm. Dining in the intimate overwater Japanese sushi and teppanyaki restaurant, 135° East, is recommended at least once. The all inclusive option here is great value for money and includes a sunset cruise. The inﬁnity pool is perfectly placed on the beachfront, next to the bar with comfy chic sofas for lounging. Maafushivaru’s secret delight is its beautiful uninhabited sister island, Lonubo. For an authentic Crusoe-esque experience, take a short boat ride across to this tiny desert island for romantic picnics, candlelit dining or even a wonderful overnight stay.

Sophisticated paradise The much-loved Le Touessrok Resort & Spa has undergone extensive renovations, featuring an ‘East meets West’ design which is complemented by Shangri-La’s renowned Asian-inspired service. A real highlight of the resort is the two island retreats which are accessible within minutes by boat: Ilot Mangénie, which is exclusive to guests of the resort; and Ile aux Cerfs, home to the renowned Bernhard Langer designed 18-hole championship golf course. The spa is a true haven where you can enjoy relaxation and meditation alongside Chinese and Ayurvedic treatments. And reflecting the resort’s transformation the dining choices here have been refreshed, with four restaurants offering dishes from around the world.

Exemplary service and modern design In an area steeped in history, Shangri-La’s Hambantota Resort & Spa has brought five-star luxury to the lesser-visited south coast of Sri Lanka and is the only resort on the island with an 18-hole golf course. You’ll also find CHI, The Spa and innovative dining options; and we love the modern light-filled décor in the rooms, with touches of Sri Lankan design. There are four restaurants and bars, including the main restaurant Bojun Hala, where you can sample the very best of Sri Lankan cuisine. The resort also has its own artisan village, celebrating local arts and crafts. Premier Ocean Room
