Why you should go: We've told you about many resorts in the Maldives — but this one is truly unique. The super-luxe, private-island Patina has design magazines salivating over its architecture & art, service that goes beyond 5 stars, food created by Michelin-starred chefs and a serious commitment to sustainability (there’s even an eco bar program). Conde Nast Traveler calls Patina a “mold-breaker” and a “dazzling new addition” to the Indian Ocean luxury resort scene, and we agree. This new property exceeds expectations at every turn.

What’s the big deal? While a stay at such a highly rated resort can come with a matching price tag, Patina Maldives would like Travelzoo members to experience it with an exclusive introductory offer that saves roughly half off their normal rates. This offer is good for stays from mid-September through the end of 2023 — including January to April, the best months to visit.

Experience five (or more!) nights in paradise, choosing between a spacious studio or overwater pool villa; either choice comes with daily breakfast and dinner, roundtrip speedboat transfers to and from Malé and a host of other perks.

Travelzoo tip: An offer like this doesn’t come around often. Patina is already attracting celebrity clientele and topping “hot lists” of where to go, which means this Travelzoo offer is somewhat of a unicorn.
