Your destinations —
Gaafu Alifu Atoll
Remote, romantic, and radiating barefoot luxury, Gaafu Alifu Atoll, also known as the Northern Huvadhoo Atoll, is one of the Maldives’ most exquisite and secluded treasures. Tucked away in the far south of the archipelago, this dreamy escape promises crystal-clear lagoons, velvety white sandbanks, and an unhurried pace of life where the only soundtrack is the gentle lap of the Indian Ocean. Far from the busier northern atolls, it’s a sanctuary made for couples seeking privacy, indulgence, and unforgettable moments.
Must-sees:
- Private sandbank picnics: Step into your slice of paradise with a champagne brunch on a deserted sandbank, where it’s just you, the sea, and the endless sky.
- World-class diving: Drift past kaleidoscopic coral gardens, glide alongside manta rays, and share a magical encounter with a whale shark in some of the Maldives’ clearest waters.
- Equator cruise: Sail hand-in-hand across the equator, complete with a celebratory toast and a certificate to mark the occasion.
- Starlit dinners: Dine barefoot by torchlight, with the Milky Way shimmering above and the ocean at your feet.
- Secluded spa pavilions: Indulge in couples’ treatments overwater, lulled by the sound of gentle waves.
Culinary culture:
Gastronomy here is an art form. Wake to a floating breakfast in your private infinity pool, sample delicate Maldivian tuna tartare with coconut, and finish the evening with a candlelit lobster feast on the beach. Fresh, local ingredients meet international finesse, creating dining experiences that are as memorable as the setting.
Dive deeper:
Every moment in Gaafu Alifu feels cinematic. Glide over a reef on a sunset snorkelling safari, watch dolphins dance in your bow wave, or simply sink into an overwater hammock as the sky blazes orange and pink. With so few resorts scattered across the atoll, you’ll often feel as though the ocean is yours alone, a rare luxury in today’s world.
Good to know:
Reachable via a scenic domestic flight to Kaadedhdhoo Airport followed by a private speedboat, Gaafu Alifu’s remoteness is its magic – perfect for honeymoons, anniversaries, and those who believe true luxury is found in the art of slowing down.
Doha
Golden-hued dunes roll into the Arabian Gulf, where Doha’s skyline rises like a mirage. Qatar’s capital preserves its history while embracing the progressive spirit of the 21st century. Think souqs buzzing with the scent of oud and saffron, museums showcasing centuries of history, and a coastline inviting long, sun-drenched afternoons. Beyond the city, the desert stretches in cinematic vastness, best explored on a private dune drive or beneath a star-strewn sky.
Must-sees:
- The Pearl Qatar: An upscale island featuring luxury shopping, dining, and residential areas.
- Qatar National Museum: A fascinating museum designed by architect Jean Nouvel. It tells the story of Qatar’s history, culture, and heritage.

A few more popular dishes include Machboos, a spiced rice dish served with lamb, chicken, or fish, and Saloona, a delicious stew made with lamb or chicken, spices, and vegetables. Doha also has a huge street food scene, with offerings like Shawarma, Samosas, Kebabs, and more.
Dive deeper:
To dive deeper into the fascinating culture of Doha, visit the Katara Cultural Village to attend performances at the Katara Amphitheatre, Participate in a traditional Qatari cooking class, and more. You can also choose to explore Al Bidda- the historic heart of Doha on a guided walking tour.
Good to know:
The official currency of Qatar is the Qatari Riyal, abbreviated as QAR. The official language of Qatar is Arabic, though due to Qatar's international and diverse population, English is widely spoken and understood. Qatar is a conservative country, so it’s important to dress modestly, especially in public places. In mosques or religious sites, both men and women should cover their shoulders and knees. Women may also be required to cover their hair when entering certain religious sites.
