Banyan Tree Maldives Madivaru, The Maldives

Marking a departure from the sleek over-water bungalows that typify most Maldivian resorts, the new Banyan Tree resort brings the tented camp experience to the Indian Ocean. Located on the edge of the North Ari Atoll and accessible only by seaplane, Madivaru comprises six unique villas, each a cluster of three specialized tents (devoted to living, sleeping, and bathing areas) and a private pool. Set against an emerald jungle skirting a translucent blue lagoon, the clean-white-canvas tents are equipped with teak desks, timber flooring, and leather folding chairs. The sense of seclusion doesn’t end when you leave the compound – a maximum of 18 guests are permitted on the tiny coral island at one time. Get even further away from civilization with oceanic outings like dolphin-watching cruises, night-fishing excursions, catamaran trips, and snorkeling safaris. As you dine under a star-filled sky on your own private sandbank, you’ll never think of “camping” the same way again. www.banyantree.com
