As the mercury creeps up in the Middle East this summer, head to the Maldives to cool off, with an easy, breezy Indian Ocean escape at Cora Cora Maldives. If you want to really kick back and relax, book the Premium All Inclusive Gourmet Meal Plan to ease decision-making. The plan allows you to dine at four different restaurants – Tazäa, Ginger Moon, Teien and Acquapazza – sip from an extensive drinks menu of cocktails, mocktails and more, and enjoy island vibes at two laid-back bars, serving coffee and ice cream.
When you’re well-fed, you can start exploring the island, which is home to MOKSHA Spa, yoga pavilion, fitness centre, a creative and nature-driven CoRa kids club, and a teeming underwater world.
You can stay up to date with all its sea shenanigans with the Live Underwater Camera of the house reef from the comfort of your ‘home’, or dive in yourself with a snorkelling or scuba diving session – where hopefully you’ll see plenty of fish, turtles and sharks – or even try the resort’s official PADI Mermaid Course, for something truly unique.
