The Residence Maldives is among the top resorts in this island nation known for its luxurious accommodations. Stays at this edge-of-the-world private-island retreat would typically set you back over $1000 per night, but we've negotiated fivenights for well under $2000.

In addition to a private beach villa, you'll score perks like daily breakfast, a dolphin cruise (fun fact: four species of dolphins call the archipelago home) and roundtrip airport transfers (normally an additional $770). If you're looking for more days in paradise, you can customize your stay with additional nights.
