"Perched on Pumpkin Bluff, this 6,000-square-foot private-island estate is one of only three homes on a white-sand beach so seclusion reigns; soaring ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows in every room showcase a turquoise ocean, the fully equipped kitchen has granite countertops and a central island with a six-seater breakfast nook, bedrooms offer ample storage and the primary bath includes a jetted spa tub, and outside there’s a balcony that overlooks an infinity pool and the ocean, two outdoor showers, and a newly built gazebo." - Kristin Braswell
"The coral guardian program at Velaa is one of many urgent reef-restoration projects taking place at resorts across this nation of 1,192 tiny islands. In the Maldives, coral is everything. It supports the fish that people eat. It protects beaches from erosion. It’s the very ground underfoot — and the foundation of the economy. Guests can engage in activities such as scuba diving to observe reef restoration efforts." - Betsy Andrews Betsy Andrews Betsy Andrews is an award-winning journalist with over two decades of experience writing about food, drink, and travel.
