PER AQUUM Niyama Maldives is a GT Select Hotels & Resorts property that epitomizes tropical luxury in the Maldives. The property offers 134 different studios, suites and pavilions, with accommodations perfect for everyone from the honeymooning couple to the vacationing family. Direct beach and lagoon access, private pools, butler service, gourmet treats and drinks in a full-size refrigerator, private decks — every detail in planning guest accommodations was carefully crafted to create the ultimate luxury getaway. With 10 different ways to dine stretched over two islands, guests’ choices are varied. The two you’ll definitely want to try during your visit are Subsix and Nest. Subsix is located a short distance into the open water and almost 65 feet below the surface for a lunch and beverage experience set amid a subaquatic landscape. Nest is a multilevel treehouse with private pods connected by walkways for dining almost 20 feet off the ground. There’s plenty of adventure to be had as well. Kitesurfing, seabobbing, snorkeling, marine biology expeditions and more await guests in the lagoon. There are plenty of activities and events to keep you busy on land, too. Golf simulation challenges, mixology classes, beach soccer and more fill a packed property schedule. LIME Spa will help you to wind down with After Dark treatments to banish jet lag and insomnia. Other treatments listed on the expansive menu include oxygen facial treatments, deep tissue massages, body scrubs and family packages. — Fran Gallagher, publisher and CEO

The airport is long gone, but international visitors are arriving at Kai Tak again, albeit more sedately. Their cruise ships dock smoothly at Kai Tak Cruise Terminal, a modern gateway designed by Sir Norman Foster.
