OZEN RESERVE BOLIFUSHI offers full-on luxury with a focus on wellness – it embraces a fabulous overwater spa employing ancient Ayurvedic healing techniques and island-produced coconut oil to leave you feeling soothed and ready to enjoy your tropical-island paradise. Tucked away in a corner of the South Malé Atoll, it’s far from anything, for a truly remote feel, yet also just a zippy 20-minute luxury catamaran from the international airport at Malé. Alternatively, snag yourself the resort’s 25m superyacht for the ultimate in getting away from it all.
"I was so lucky in January to stay at OZEN RESERVE BOLIFUSHI. having opened in December 2020 it was so good to see it in person. From the airport lounge, to the luxury transfers, just to arrive in turquoise waters and be pampered was such a delight!
The island was overwhelming, the food was the best I have had anywhere in the world, the Champagne was on tap, and the beauty of the island was breathtaking, and of course no bill at the end
The 'plan' on the island is a complete offering, with spa treatments, transfers and world class à la carte dining included it makes for a superbly relaxed stay.
My personal favourite was choosing a beach that suits you. With your villa bikes you can explore the island and take a dip wherever you choose. Favourite dining is a hard one; ORIGINE was a wine pairing, gastronomic delight and yet Tradition Saffron brought so many flavours. Breakfast on the beach at Vista del Mar is where my mind is every breakfast time - it cannot be beaten, take me back NOW!"

Winter sun doesn't have to mean the same destinations year after year. Whether you're dreaming of tropical islands, unforgettable wildlife encounters, bustling cities, or beaches that stretch for miles, there are plenty of destinations that come into their own during winter. If you're already thinking about your next escape, here are five winter sun destinations worth adding to your travel wish list.
When most people think of Thailand, they picture the dry, busy months - the packed beaches, the long queues at temples, the peak-season prices. But, outside of these peak months, Thailand’s green season reveals a softer, more atmospheric side of the country. The landscapes deepen in colour, the pace eases, and familiar places begin to feel more spacious, from temple courtyards and hillside trails to palm-fringed beaches.
Choosing where to stay can completely change the feel of an Algarve holiday. Beyond the region’s larger resorts, there are whitewashed villas overlooking the Atlantic, converted village houses in the countryside, intimate design hotels, and peaceful coastal retreats. From the fishing village of Salema to the quieter landscapes around Vila do Bispo and Lagos, these four stays each offer their own take on southern Portugal, whether you want the freedom of a villa, easy access to the beach, or somewhere small and characterful to come back to after a day exploring.
