What the classifiers highlight
Billed as the first art-immersive hotel in the Maldives, this 73-villa resort in the Raa Atoll shows more than 60 works curated by Istanbul studio No LaB, with no other island in sight. Cape Town artist Porky Hefer shaped its treehouse as a manta ray, the tail a wooden walkway to a private dining table. Forbes named it Five-Star.
