Resorts Magazine

Ovidio Guaita, International Editor-in-Chief EDITORIAL Go beyond your expectationswithResortsMagazine! I n this issue, we return to the Maldives. Of course, they have certainly been done before, but the point is that this archipelago continues to evolve, offering new resorts and private islands that set new standards in terms of luxury, design, and privacy. This aspect is particularly appealing to demanding well-travelled visitors looking for a unique experience, far from the crowds. Known for their crystal-clear waters and postcard-perfect marine life, the Maldives represent the perfect retreat for those seeking an oasis of peace, luxury, and nature. But traveling to this earthly paradise does not necessarily mean enduring long layovers and exhausting flights. In our special, we present a new travel opportunity that redefines the flying experience: the all-business direct service from Milan to Malé by Beond. We find seats that transform into real beds, high-quality gastronomy and impeccable service that anticipates every need. The Maldives are a destination that continues to renew and enrich themselves, offering experiences that go far beyond the typical image of beachside relaxation. For the experienced traveler, they represent an endless source of discovery, adventure and personal enrichment, always with the utmost respect for the natural environment and local culture. Indeed, the Maldives are at the forefront of ecotourism and sustainability. Many resorts have adopted eco- friendly practices, from solar energy towater recycling, to the protection of coral reefs and the implementation of mangrove reforestation initiatives. This approach offers travelers the chance to participate in educational and conservation programs, adding an extra layer of meaning to their stay. In selecting the destinations to feature, we have chosen not to disturb the great and renowned names of international hôtellerie, preferring excellent resorts, perhaps less known but undoubtedly of great appeal.
