Maldives · Indian Ocean

In the Maldives, a yacht turns a resort stay into an expedition. Move between atolls at your own pace, lunch on a sandbank that disappears at high tide, and swim with manta rays at Hanifaru Bay in Baa Atoll from June to November. The calm, dry season runs from November to May. Velana International Airport in Malé receives private jets, and your yacht can meet you minutes after landing.
