How much does it cost to stay at Cheval Blanc Maldives?

Surrounded by the natural beauty of the Maldives, famed for its turquoise sea, stretches of white sand beaches and vibrant coral reefs, Cheval Blanc Maldives manages to utilise its surroundings to complement it with opulent style.

The villas and resort were designed by Jean-Michel Gathy, who created the beach lined villas with a bespoke and artistic design. The villas are spacious and detail orientated with bursts of yellow features throughout – for example in the French artist Vincent Beaurin's art above the bath and in the candles created for the hotel by Francois Demachy, who creates the Christian Dior perfumes. The sleek infinity pools, lush vegetation and impressive spa make this resort a sensory overload from the second you step foot through the door.

The 45 villa rooms are a mix of overwater, island and beach gardens with each one offering its own glittering pool; hammocks to sink into and read a book; plus loungers and day beds to doze off on in the shimming heat. The interiors reflect their natural environment, with driftwood and shells as well as ceramic art by Gaia and petrified wood. The amenities are also hand-picked from Leonor Greyl.

On arrival, you will have your own personal butler, known as a majordomo, who will cater to your every demand. They will make the trip as seamless as possible, from unpacking your bag, to ironing your clothes to crisp perfection, booking restaurants and activities, and even drawing you a perfect bath filled with frangipani flowers. You are literally waited on hand and foot.

It's all about fine dining when it comes to cuisine at Cheval Blanc Randheli Maldives. The 1947 restaurant is the perfect spot for an abundant tasting menu. The Deelani restaurant serves Mediterranean cuisine such as beef carpaccio, gnocchi with buffalo mozzarella and parmesan-crusted aubergines. The restaurant White’s offers a menu of local fare such as healthy salads and filling wraps. Or, for something more opulent head to Dipyque, where you'll discover a wealth of Japanese and Asian dishes.

Sink into the relaxing treatment rooms with a pampering session crafted to invigorate and rejuvenate your body and soul at the Guerlain Spa. You can also rebalance with some yoga, exercise classes, meditation, or work up a sweat in the panoramic fitness centre.

If you want to indulge in a bit of adventure, you can discover all the wonders of the ocean with a spot of snorkelling. Explore the bright coral reefs with kayaking, balance on the seas with paddleboarding, or, if you want to stay on land, tee off with a round of golf. You should also look at Seychelles holiday options if this is what you’re looking for.

If you prefer to explore the sea from a relaxing boat, you can enjoy a dolphin cruise and sit back with a glass of bubbles whilst you take in the views.

There are also plenty of facilities for little ones to enjoy during their stay. The large kids club will keep them entertained as well as the waterslides, treasure hunts, kids yoga, table football, aquatic hikes, billiards and even astronomy sessions.

While this resort has attracted many wealthy guests over the years, no one is more famous than its 2014 occupants, Prince William and Kate Middleton. The royal pair escaped to paradise for a romantic getaway that offered them the ideal seclusion and privacy fit for a future king and queen.

Cheval Blanc Maldives prices start from £7,350 per person for seven-nights, including flights. We think this secluded paradise resort is worth every penny. From the attentive personal service catering to your every want or the luxurious pools and rooms overlooking the natural wonder of the seas, it is pure opulence.

The nearest airport is Venala International airport. To get to the resort you can take a 40-minute luxury seaplane flight.
