Are these the most exclusive Villas in the Maldives?

For many, the Maldives represent paradise on earth. And if you have the wherewithal to stay in one of the villas described below, then you really can get a taste of the good life in the here and now. The John Jacob Astor Estate at the St. Regis Maldives Kommuli Resort, for example, sleeps up to twelve and comes complete with its own gym, cinema, spa and a 92-square-metre infinity pool. Over at the »Landaa Estate« in the Four Seasons Resort Maldives, guests have a total of 2000 square metres to play with. This includes three bedrooms, an 80-metre private beach, a stargazing lounge and a 25-metre pool with waterfall! The design of the building is wonderfully open too, seeming to consist almost entirely of glass. Another top place to stay is the »Ritz-Carlton Estate«, which is located directly on the beach of a private bay and offers 1500 square metres of space for up to six. In addition to their own private stretch of sand, guests also enjoy a pool and the added luxury of their own chef and butler.
