ISN’T IT time you escaped the cold weather? After all, what with the daily nine to five grind and the long wintery nights, there’s nothing better than a well-deserved holiday.
And Travel Republic, one of the UK’s leading online travel agents, has found the perfect place to get away from it all.

A favourite destination of celebs and in-the-know jet-setters, the islands of the Maldives are dotted in the Indian Ocean like jewels.
And the beautiful five-star Adaaran Prestige Vadoo ticks all the boxes when it comes to a couple’s getaway.
The resort is so picture-perfect that it looks like it jumped straight out of a holiday advert – palm-fringed beaches, soft white sands and waters so vividly turquoise you might not believe your eyes.
This gorgeous spot is an adults-only, all-inclusive escape where your toughest decision will be whether to go for another swim or have another cocktail.
The extravagance begins as soon as you step on the complimentary speedboat transfer from Malé’s Velana International Airport.

While many resorts in the Maldives require lengthy – and expensive – seaplane flights, Adaaran Prestige Vadoo is just 15 minutes by boat.
So you can be relaxing beachside while others are still grappling with their transfers.
Once you’re there, you’re surrounded by the stuff that holiday dreams are made of – mouthwatering meals, underwater adventures, quiet time together and 24-hour butler service: you may never want to go home again.

While overwater villas are standard in the Maldives these days, Adaaran Prestige Vadoo was the pioneer, the country’s first overwater resort.
All of its deluxe villas are perched on stilts above crystal-clear seas, and they are made for romantic seclusion.
Lounge on your sunbed in the shade of the thatched roof, jump straight from your deck into the water, or watch tropical fish through the glass floor of your bathroom while you soak in your Jacuzzi.
Worth an extra splurge are the villas that come with their own private outdoor plunge pools, a VIP touch on top of an already luxurious experience.
Whichever accommodation you choose, it may be hard to drag yourselves away – and with in-room breakfast served at any time of day there’s no need to get up early – but there’s plenty to do around the resort.
And the fact that it’s child-free means you can explore in tranquil, grown-up bliss.
