Surrounded by the Indian Ocean on the private island of Vagaru, the Viceroy Maldives opened April 2. Located in the uncharted northern edge of the Maldives archipelago, the 61-bungalow resort ($1,600–$2,400) is less than an hour’s flight from Malé International Airport. Ranging from 1,108-square-foot one-bedrooms to the 4,370-square-foot three-bedroom Royal Villa, each bungalow features ocean views, a private pool, and indoor and outdoor showers. The 17-acre resort also features a natural lagoon, five dining venues inspired by the spice trade routes of Asia and Africa, an Ayurvedic Indian spa, and a PADI-licensed dive center. Activities include private lessons for beginning water-skiers and windsurfers, yoga, catamaran sailing, deep-sea fishing, and numerous other water sports.
