Private Paradise

If you can't own your own private island, rent one. For US$1 million, you get to call the entire Raffles Maldives Meradhoo resort yours for five days. Pick from the resort's two islands to spend your time - one with villas on white sandy beaches, or an overwater retreat in the other. The resort will also throw in a nearby deserted island for good measure. Wine and dine at any time and anywhere, with a culinary team on hand to cater to all your cravings. Enjoy spa treatments and snorkelling excursions to get close to blacktip sharks and hawksbill turtles. You can bring along 70 friends and family members to enjoy the island with you. Or you can enjoy all this by yourself, but what fun would that be?

You Run Maldives is available for a limited time, book at www.rafflesmaldives.com.
