There is no better place to be than right here, as the coppery sun shimmers on the horizon while you toast yet another magical day in paradise from your private dig-in beach dinner table.

- Swimming with friends ???? Snorkelling with turtles, rays and nurse sharks is a once-in-a-lifetime experience here and the Maldives is one of the best places to swim with these docile creatures. Nurse sharks' whisker-like barbels help them to find crabs, shrimps and other crustaceans. Start your day snorkelling in our tranquil lagoons or head out by boat to nearby reefs.

- @RoyalMaldives' reputation as one of the best places in the world to come snorkelling or diving begins here. Within a few hours of landing, you could be on a private sandbank reached only by speedboat. You'll picnic and walk, mesmerised by the bluest hues imaginable that stretch as far as the eye can see. This is just the start. A world-class diving experience awaits in the protected waters of Hanifaru Bay, as we've begun to see increased numbers of mantas and whale sharks.

- Have you ever visited the Maldives in August? Escape the crowds and discover the tranquil beauty of our island days as we embrace nature's change in season. Often more dramatic in its picture-postcard charm, with wispy clouds building up for short tropical showers in the afternoons, it's the perfect time to catch up on your holiday reading or head to the spa. Before long, the glorious scent of earth fills the air and the sun sparkles on freshly washed leaves. Unlike any city, being close to nature in the tropics makes one feel truly alive... paradise for nature lovers! Will you join us soon? #VillaNautica #VillaResorts
