We have had a pretty spectacular summer if you ask me, so it feels rather ungrateful to complain when a rainy Tuesday hits. Instead of whining about the weather, I’m just dreaming of the next exotic vacation I might like to take with my loving family.

The Ayada Maldives looks like it might just hit the spot.  This awe-inspiring 112 villa resort, located on the 150,000 square metre paradise island of Magudhuvaa, Maldives, opened in November of 2011. From the powder white sand and azure waters of the Indian Ocean to the exquisite amenities to the seven indulgent restaurants, I’m pretty sure I would never want to leave. Add to that the spa, kids’ club, scuba diving centre and loads of water sports and we might just become ex-pats after a week’s stay.
Of course, it’s the design details that would make me feel at home for far more than just a week. Endless infinity pools; clear glass floors with a view to the ocean life below; hits of Hermes orange punctuating a natural palette of exotic wood, straw roofs and linen upholstery; porch hammocks that suspend you out over the blue. The marriage of natural and local with modern sophistication is positively perfect for this Detailista.
