The Best Maldives Honeymoon Escapes, From Overwater Villas to Hidden Treehouses

"If you want honeymoon photographs that look as if they've been pulled from the pages of a fashion magazine, point your Gulfstream G650 towards this Jean-Michel Gathy-designed escape in Noonu Atoll (which has its own private jet airport). The go-to holiday location of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, this LVMH-owned spot has intense levels of privacy (as well as the highest room-only rack rate in the country). Villas are cathedral-like, in earthy tones of stone, hickory, and cream, with vaulted ceilings and decadently large bathrooms. Romantic engagements might include nighttime snorkeling in bioluminescent waters, mingling with manta rays, and a private desert-island getaway. It's haute stuff.
