20 Photos to Inspire You to Visit The Maldives

The Maldives has been a destination that has been on my bucket list for some time. Earlier this year, I got to visit the island destinations for four days, and as a lover of bikinis, ocean and diving, I couldn’t have been more excited.

I stayed at Boutique Beach Diving Hotel on Dhigurah Island for a few nights to get a taste of the local culture, and knock some big dives off my list. Check out my diving experience below!

Overall, my trip was so memorable. I had with two days of amazing diving, and I got to experience my first seaplane flight, my first swim with whale sharks, and some fun in the tropical sun!

I also got to stay in an over-the-water bungalow — dreams really do come true! Imagine waking up to the beautiful, pristine green waters right outside your door.

The Maldives are truly paradise… and I can’t wait to go back!

Superb photos. Speechless to say anything about the coasts, beaches, crystal clear water, and of course the nature. Relaxing …

Wow, it looks amazing! We’re actually looking at flights to the Maldives atm. Thinking about going for Christmas and New Years (total of 10 days) 🙂 Would be a dream!

A fairytale stay 🏰

I highly recommend staying a night or 2 at @themanor_house in The Cotswolds.

It’s located in the tiny, picturesque village of Castle Combe—one of my favorite stops of our trip.

We had the entire village to ourselves early in the morning and at sunset which was so magical!

I can confirm—The Cotswolds are a dream! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🍂
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
I took a spontaneous trip with my friend to the countryside of England and it was everything I dreamed it would be!

The Cotswolds feel like stepping back in time with historic villages and adorable cottages). While these places might seem similar at first glance, each village was actually quite unique. These are some of the cutest villages we visited:

- Castle Combe
- Bourton-on-the-Water
- The Slaughters
- Stow-on-the-Wold
- Broadway
- Snowshill
- Bibury

Some amazing villages and towns not featured but also worth visiting include:

- Broadway
- Burford
- Daylesford & Daylesford Farms
- Chipping Campden
- Cirencester

Are The Cotsworlds on your bucket list?

The most luxurious family-friendly stay at Four Seasons Boston @fsboston 🏢
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
If you’ve been following along, you know we recently took a trip through New England for leaf-peeing and sightseeing amidst the crisp, Autumn foliage.

We concluded our 10-day roadtrip at the amazing Four Seasons property in the historic city of Boston, Massachusetts.

Four Seasons is known for their luxury and incredible service, but they really kick things up a notch for families here:

🧸 The Mystery Toy Closet: As part of the VIK experience (aka Very Important Kid Experience), guests are given a large golden key that grants access to an AMAZING toy closet behind the front desk. Filled with trinkets like rubber ducks, slinkys, coloring books, and–Ollie’s favorite–wiggly frogs, this was SUCH an amazing and one-of-a-kind treat to experience.

🍭 The Vault: One of the newer features to the Four Seasons Boston: a small room on each guest floor filled with complimentary snacks, candy, and beverages to grab-and-go!

🛎️ Amenities: Once again, Four Seasons has outdone itself with its amazing service. This city retreat offers a complimentary coffee bar for guests (and hot chocolate for the little ones), 24-hour gym, a pool with a fantastic view, a world-class spa, and even a morning run club to get your Boston marathon fix in!

🦞 The Food: Whether it’s in-room dining you’re after, quaint tea service in-between sight-seeing, or you want to experience New England’s famous seafood, Four Seasons treats your tastebuds with exquisite table-side service at their restaurant, Coterie.

This was truly such a luxurious end to our trip, I wish we could have extended it just so we could enjoy more time at this fantastic property.

A huge thank you to @fsboston for hosting us on our dream trip to New England and concluding our stay with memories that will last a LIFETIME!
