| Why you should go: It's true, travel is back — and with it the big crowds and price tags. We can help on both fronts with this deal to a secluded private-island getaway in the Maldives. Picked for National Geographic Traveller’s Luxury Collection in 2022, this tropical hideaway has made a name for itself in just two short years for its spacious villas and plentiful amenities. Think a “spa village” of 18 treatment rooms dishing out blissful treatments, five dining and bar options and even tennis courts for some on-island activity. Though we’d recommend going below the surface — the resort is in the coral-rich Raa Atoll, close to some of the best diving and snorkeling in the Maldives. What’s the big deal? Our member-exclusive price of $1299 (for two) saves up to $3000 on five-night (or longer) stays. You and a friend will kick back in an overwater or beach villa that’s larger than most homes (!), with daily breakfast and dinner included. You'll also get perks like free yoga, snorkeling and non-motorized water sports. All-inclusive packages are on sale, too. Travelzoo tip: Manta rays swim Raa Atoll's clear turquoise waters year round, though the very best time to spot them is October and November. If your trip falls between June to October, you might be able to witness the atoll's beautiful bioluminescent "Sea of Stars" phenomenon on Vaadhoo Island. |
