MAGIC IN THE MALDIVES

Join Sunday Circle and ROCS Travel on a marvellous journey to the sumptuous retreat of the Sheraton Full Moon Resort and Spa in the Maldives…

SheratonIn the fourth of this series of the Luxury Collection, Sunday Circle and ROCS Travel visit the lavish Sheraton Full Moon  Resort and Spa in the Maldives.

Located in the sparkling waters of the Indian Ocean, the Maldives provide the ideal backdrop for the experience of a lifetime, whether you’re after seclusion and intimacy, or seeking to explore the wonders of these exotic islands.

The Sheraton Resort and Spa is situated on an idyllic, private island, where the rush of the world fades away from the moment you set foot on its shores.

The island’s position – just a short boat ride from Malé International Airport and Malé city – means getting there is no hassle at all, and transfers can be arranged for all flight times.

Escape the Ordinary

It is really the tropical paradise of our dreams, holding a handful of treasures for everyone.

The resort offers 176 guest rooms, ranging from beachfront  rooms and stand-alone cottages, villas and suites featuring thatched roofs within close proximity of the beach, to over-water bungalows and suites with privacy and direct sea access.

All these accommodation options are air-conditioned, and include spacious balconies or patios, which open up onto beautiful views of the resort and its surroundings.

The beauty of the Sheraton Full Moon Resort and Spa lies in the flexibility it offers its guests.

Every experience is tailored to suit the wishes of each individual, whether up for an adventure or simply looking to lie back and enjoy sumptuous spa treatments or laze around on the gorgeous beaches.

Explore the Islands

Sheraton LobbyThe ultimate in pampering and relaxation can be had with a visit to the Sheraton’s spa: a haven of absolute tranquillity.

The luxurious Shine Spa is nestled on its own private island, and its lagoon is the location for many exciting water sports.

The lagoon also opens up onto 40 nearby dive sites, allowing guests to explore the diverse marine life of the Indian Ocean.

Daily excursions are also available to some of the Maldives’ most stunning locations.

Situated in-between the trading route of the Indian Ocean, the islands are a rich mesh of cultures and peoples.

This diversity can be seen in the language, beliefs, arts, and attitudes of its locals. Excursion trips include the dolphin cruise, sunset fishing, island hopping, sunrise picnic, big game fishing and reef snorkeling.

Other activities include tennis, swimming, water sports and shopping, particularly at the exclusive island boutique.

Foreign currency exchange as well as childcare services are located on the resort, so guests can rest assured that all their needs will be well looked after.

Taste the Exotic

Bathroom at SheratonDays spent soaking up the fresh air and sunshine encourages quite an appetite, and the cuisine in the Maldives is quite unlike any other.

The Sheraton Resort and Spa features five excellent restaurants, offering Thai, Continental and Mediterranean cuisines, grills, snacks and delicious local seafood delicacies.

Live music and exotic cocktails are the highlight of the two lounge bars located in the resort, and make the perfect setting for unwinding and getting to know some of the other guests.

Beauty meets culture

The islands are as rich culturally as they are in natural history.

Over the years, travellers from across the globe met and exchanged gifts as they travelled to far-off destinations, for exploration and trade.

Maldivian arts very much reflect this diverse culture. Geometric designs feature everywhere in local crafts and ornaments, made by hand from local materials.

Influences from Southeast Asia are palpable in the elaborate designs seen in the architecture, such as antique mosques.

The Maldives are characterised by their glistening clear waters and powdery white sea-beds, uneven coral beaches, and thriving tropical vegetation.

The climate is warm and temperate all year round, making the waters welcoming to swimmers and divers.

Whether looking to escape or to broaden your experience of the world, the Sheraton Full Moon Resort and Spa is the ideal paradise hideaway, offering luxury, exclusive comfort and beauty unseen in any other part of the world.
