While you may not find diamonds in the soles of your shoes at this luxurious five-star property, guests of Diamonds Thudufushi will discover something even better: serenity.

8. Nika Island Resort & Spa
Secluded romance is the name of the game at this lovely retreat. Created in the early 1980s, this boutique resort exudes Maldivian charm. Unlike other high-end resorts peppered throughout the region, the Nika Island Resort & Spa has kept things more natural, like they were before the area became a hot spot for beach lovers.
