Ecoboo Maldives, Thinadhoo Island, Vaavu Atoll

• Island idyll: Positioned on the dreamy white shores and crystal clear waters of Thinadhoo Island, Ecoboo Maldives is a picture-perfect slice of island serenity. Fringed by lush, verdant coconut trees (which make up half of the unspoiled island), the beach on your doorstep is a beautiful, calming stretch to swim and watch the friendly, harmless nurse sharks. Soak up the peace and quiet of the island, with not a motorised vehicle in sight.

• Bamboo boutique: Constructed with 45 kilometres of bamboo, your hotel’s guestrooms exude a warm, organic feel underpinned by an eco-friendly ethos, each with a distinct colour palette. Exteriors, furnishings, ornaments and the like are forged from bamboo of all shapes and sizes, paired with crisp white beds, colourful throws, nature-inspired wall hangings and plants.

• Waterfront dining: Done up in bamboo (of course), your hotel’s lounge and bistro offer dreamy dining spots overlooking the pristine waters. Enjoy a colourful breakfast spread with your morning coffee, and later on indulge in a feast of flavour with buffet or à la carte options. If you can’t bear to leave the balmy waters for long, you’ll love the one-of-a-kind floating boat bar serving food, wine and cocktails on board.
