It’s not uncommon for friends and family to reach out and ask for an amazing vacation setting. However, my response often comes with a warning: I’m not going to merely settle for amazing; instead, I am going to offer concepts that redefine that word. After all, why choose a vacation experience that thousands of other families are either planning at the same time or have already done? Instead, go bigger than big and choose a resort and destination that will make every family’s collective jaw drop.
For example, let’s head to Park Hyatt Maldives Hadahaa and check out the unbelievable Overwater Reef Residence. Now, we’ve seen some spectacular overwater bungalows over the years, but those that exist in the Maldives are legendary for raising the bar time and time again. Still relatively new, this option is the latest to change the game, and we just cannot help appreciating the thoroughly impeccable design job.
As many as eight guests can stay in this masterpiece, as it boasts a master with oversized king, another master king bedroom, and one twin bedroom, which is undoubtedly where the happiest kids in the world will sleep after a long day of adventure. Each accommodation has its own ensuite bathroom, while the beautifully subtle décor will have everyone wishing they could call this place home forever.
The centerpiece is obviously the private 16-meter infinity pool and terrace that offers sunken loungers, as parents can kick back and relax while the younger guests explore the house lagoon reef in guided snorkeling sessions or even embark on a journey to several locations around this vibrant atoll.
Even the most extravagant villas are still mostly defined by the intimate aspects and the personal touches that are conceived to ensure the family vacation of a lifetime. The Overwater Reef Residence offers a full kitchen and spaces for indoor and outdoor dining, as well as an outdoor BBQ area for anyone who understandably doesn’t want to be inside at any point during this journey.
And for anyone whose only goal is ultimate rest and relaxation, the sprawling private terrace also boasts a whirlpool and in-villa spa treatments. If that’s not enough, the views will take care of the rest.
