- Is there a more dreamy ocean view to enjoy while spinning to the sound of the waves? ???? Here, you can pedal your way to paradise with someone you love or enjoy a quick workout with best friends. Have you ever experienced spinning on the beach? #VillaPark #VillaResorts #Maldives
- Could this become your daily tea ritual? ✨???? Today our relaxation experts at Araamu Spa share their nourishing pandan-ginger tea recipe. Boil one litre of water with 100g of peeled and sliced ginger with a pandan leaf. Let it simmer for another 30 minutes. Cool and add a tablespoon or two of honey, depending on how sweet you like it. Enjoy chilled with ice or hot on a rainy day. This calming tea helps you sleep deeply, ease headaches and ear ache, relieve heartburn and ease digestion.

- The joys of stand-up paddleboarding... quietly glide across the water at your own pace without disturbing colourful fish, rays and even turtles swimming below. Explore hidden coves around the islands that can't be reached by boat – a surprisingly good workout as you balance and steer, and the perfect way to de-stress and reconnect with nature.

- Have you tried our jungle ‘pot tub’? ???? Infused with herbs, flowers and aromatic oils, our traditional Kawa bath at @villapark.maldives relieves every aching muscle and is bound to have you sleeping like a baby. Lie back and relax, listen to the birds twittering and watch gently drifting smoke light up in shafts of sunlight in the trees above you. Let our therapeutic oils slowly work their magic while the slow-burning wood fire beneath your cauldron keeps you at the perfect temperature. Captured by @tramble #VillaPark #VillaResorts
- Did you know the @diveoceanus dive centre at @royalmaldives led the recent reef cleaning initiative in collaboration with Parley Maldives in the Baa Atoll Biosphere Reserve? Experienced divers chose to clear the reef at Eydhafushi Island. At the same time, enthusiastic students of Eydhafushi School Environment Club managed the beach clean-up. The future of the sustainable tourism Maldives is in our children's hands and we admire their efforts. A special thank you to everyone involved. #RoyalIsland #VillaResorts
- Close your eyes and picture the scene: it's an idyllic sunset in the Maldives, the ocean is the perfect temperature. You've discovered a really good book and our bartender is mixing a signature cocktail that he knows you'll love... isn't life good? ✨ Tag the person you'd like to take to @villanautica.maldives Captured by @nikitabathia #VillaNautica #VillaResorts
