Depending on your travel preferences, these resorts that we've hand-picked offer you the best there is in comfort, hospitality and luxury appeal whilst being absolutely stringent on health and safety measures during these strange times. If there’s one way to sum up Finolhu it has to be that it is the epitome of a truly family-friendly luxury resort where parents can finally take a breather and children can roam free all the while taking in the extraordinary blue waters that the Baa Atoll has to offer. For honeymooners, the absolute ideal destination to get lost in and fall in love with. With so many resorts to choose from, Finolhu has to be at the top of your list whether coming as a newlywed, couple or as a family. This is a resort that welcomes anyone wanting and needing that freedom to relax and enjoy as they please whilst being taken care of with such friendliness and sheer hospitality, it almost feels natural. A 100% care-free and worry-free holiday resort bundle exceeding one's expectations, tied up with a big red bow is how we like to think of Finolhu, which in Dhivehi means sandbank.

Featuring Your questions answered – the Nautilus travel guide for a...
Meanwhile we're sharing some answers to questions on how the resort are working together to navigate a worthwhile holiday safely, so that ultimately you worry less and enjoy far more than you would imagine. Don't forget to check out The Nautilus Sybarite offer. Part of the beauty and magic of The Nautilus Maldives is the Island's unparalleled location; set on its very own unspoiled and pristine white-sand Island and adorned with verdant endemic flora in the UNESCO Biosphere of the Baa Atoll. Boasting exclusivity and absolute privacy, the location of The Nautilus allows guests a greater sense of space and freedom - there are no crowded places in this staggeringly beautiful slice of paradise. The private location also means that there is strict control of the entry of personnel into the Island which is not accessible to just anyone, and because of capacity, is kept low, which helps to lessen overall risk.
Featuring Gielly Green Hair and Beauty Salon in the heart of...
It’s well-respected and trusted reputation has been fostered since first opening in the summer of 2008. Since then it has garnered glowing reviews in magazines like Tatler and Vogue, so I was very excited for my first visit. It is situated in the golden triangle that encompasses (celebrity eatery) the Chiltern Firehouse, fashion designer Bella Freud’s hip shop and The Chiltern luxury development (where apartments sell for a cool £2 million per bedroom and David Bailey exhibits). The salon’s founder Shai Greenberg leads a highly experienced team of stylists, colourists and beauty experts who work together to create an outstanding experience and exceptional level of service to clients, whatever their requirements may be. On arrival at the salon, I was greeted by a very friendly member of staff, who after taking my coat and scarf, gave me a thorough tour of the premises. I was surprised by the size of the salon once inside which is spread over three floors. It is elegantly decorated in browns, taupes and creams and there are super-comfy swivel chairs and recliners with squishy neck pillows to lie on when having a hair wash. There’s even a coffee bar downstairs.
Featuring Atelier Cologne - The perfect classic Christmas gift
Established in 2009, Atelier Cologne is the first Maison de Parfum creating Pure Perfumes inspired by the legendary Eau de Cologne. Its premise is a good one; that people who love the fresh crispness of a cologne should not be bound forever to wear only the lemon, bergamot and associated citrus notes that colognes traditionally stick to. Why not take a classic cologne and add a rose in there, or a sandalwood or an oud?For the first time, citruses are blended with the most precious natural raw materials forperfectly balanced creations and exceptional lasting power. Husband and wife team Sylvieand Christophe put years of research to create the formula which they called the formulaCologne Absolue.
Featuring Meet the CBD expert- Grayson Hart of Pure Sport CBD
Be it as simple as lighting a scented candle before bed, eating your greens, or making sure you go out for a walk during your lunch break, keeping mentally and physically fit is instrumental during these uncertain times. “I first discovered CBD about four years ago in the middle of my rugby career,” shares Grayson Hart, co-founder of premium CBD brand Pure Sport CBD, which has endorsers like former Olympic swimmer Michael Jamieson and Team GB heptathlete Ellen Barber. “I was looking for a natural alternative to pain killers as I had chronic knee pain and was taking a huge amount of pain killers to maintain my level of training. I knew it was so bad for my health and wellbeing to be reliant on these painkillers so was so excited when I learned that CBD was helping so many people.”
