Introducing … The Superlatives Issue Remember what it felt like to know you could take off on the biggest and best adventure imaginable any time you wished? The joyous anticipation, the world of possibilities, the spirit of discovery? Last year’s uncertainty forced us to put those dreams on the shelf. This year, we’re ready to take them out, dust them off, and go—full speed ahead. To travel farther, faster, cooler, hotter, deeper, and wilder than we’ve ever traveled before. Let’s do this. Ritz-Carlton
THE POSHEST The Maldives, of Course For those considering cashing out their GameStop earnings to buy an island, there is a largely submarine mountain range in the Indian Ocean that comes to mind. We’re referring to the Maldives, of course. Word has it, the archipelago extraordinaire is auctioning 50-year leases on several of its petite land masses.
Waldorf Astoria Ithaafushi
Imagine having unrestricted access to the most enviable escape for India's jet-setting elite—not to mention Taylor Swift, Madonna, Kate Moss, Joe Jonas, Shakira, Gwyneth Paltrow, Liv Tyler, The Beckhams, John Legend, Novak Djokovic, Chanel Iman, and more. Thankfully, buying in isn’t the only option. With a stop on route in Abu Dhabi to pick up a new designer swimsuit, and a seaplane hop or yacht trip out to your atoll, getting there is surprisingly doable. The bigger challenge is choosing from perhaps the greatest selection of resorts on earth.
Amilla Fushi
Would you prefer the sparkling, new Ritz-Carlton? The expansive Amilla Fushi? The rare and wonderful One & Only? Soneva Jani? Waldorf Astoria’s Ithaafushi? So many places to disappear to; so few ways to go wrong.
