What the classifiers highlight
On Emboodhu Finolhu, in one of the Maldives' largest lagoons, a short speedboat ride from Velana airport, sits this resort. Forbes calls it a diver's paradise, with an Ocean Dive Center running PADI courses and overwater villas whose terraces step into the lagoon. Jiva Spa keeps a resident Ayurveda physician, and dinners move between treetop, sand and open water.
