Imagine you could spend a whole year in paradise as often and as long as you want. Sounds like a dream first of all. But in order to secure some willing-to-pay and sun-hungry vacationers, the "Anantara Veli Maldives Resort" offers a stay for a yearly flat rate. The cost: $30,000.

Luxury vacation or home office

The Corona pandemic is also leaving its mark on paradise. While summer tourism in the Maldives has been relatively busy, the winter months are threatened by a big drop in bookings. The dreamlike island is normally a popular place to soak up the sun during the cold season. The "Anantara Veli" is also aware of this and offers to come and go for a whole year, whenever you want, for the equivalent of around 25,000 euros. Whether you spend a special class holiday there or set up your home office in one of the luxurious bungalows is up to you.

The flat rate will be valid from 1 January 2021 to 23 December 2021. Included are:

• The stay in a luxurious "Over-Water-Bungalow"
• A daily breakfast for two
• The transfer between the resort and Malé, as often as desired
• 25 percent discount on dinner and spa offers

Adults only

The luxury resort in the Maldives has a lot to offer. Fantastic sandy beaches, crystal clear water and breathtaking sunsets can be admired all year round. There is also plenty to experience away from sunbathing and relaxing. Diving excursions in which the colorful glittering fish can be marveled at or a swimming session with rays - the luxury resort, which by the way is only open to adults, makes it possible.

For a romantic atmosphere, the luxurious bungalows with a picture-book view are the perfect place to relax. Those who want to bring a little variety into the island's everyday life can book a spa treatment - alone or as a couple - or take an unforgettable yacht trip, directly into the sunset. There is also a wide range of options in the evening hours at "Anantara Veli". Be it a private dinner on the beach, a visit to the open-air cinema or a leisurely discovery walk on the resort grounds. The journey is also extremely convenient: from Velana International Airport you can reach the bungalows by speedboat within 30 minutes.
