When my Powerball ticket comes in, I'm going here. First you need to get to the Maldives (map), which are in the Indian Ocean southwest of Sri Lanka. It could easily take 24 hours or more to get here.
Reviews can get the most jaded armchair traveler booking a flight.
It can obviously get pricey quickly here -- the low end is $20-$30 at the bar. Lunch at Ithaa (pdf menu), the underwater restaurant above -- one of seven eateries at the Hilton Maldives Resort -- comes at a $125 surcharge, dinner $250, but at the 11 a.m. cocktail hour, a drink is only $25. Beach villas in August start at $470 per night, with the water villas hovering between $959 and $1,180 per night. Two people could easily spend $2,000 a day, were money no object. On December 18, this will become the Conrad Maldives Rangali Island, with even higher prices, as this 5-star resort shoots for two more. Go now. If my number comes in, I'll blog the trip.
