Ritz-Carlton, Maldives
Hard edges have been smoothed and nature’s rhythms – tides, currents, breezes – soothingly evoked in this resort’s design. Villas are tucked into crescent-shaped coves, dangle off curved shorelines or loop across the lagoon like beads on an oblong choker. Lodged inside this enclosure of bungalows is the striking ring-shaped spa, which harnesses the cardinal points in its treatments.
