It's time for a virtual vacation and this time we're going for a dip! ✨

As we hit the middle of winter and get stuck in gloomy weather or — for some of us — snow, the desire for a tropical getaway reaches new levels. I mean, lounging on a beach or snorkeling in blue waters? Sign. Me. Up.

This seasonal wanderlust only got worse when I discovered this resort in the Maldives. It's got everything: floating bungalows, white sand beaches, and even an UNDERWATER ROOM. Does it come with a hefty price tag? Sure. Will I still dream about going there? Duh.
