The Maldives has hosted an impressive roster of celebrities (the Beckhams, Tom Cruise, and John Legend, for starters), but the islands are a popular pick for anyone seeking space from crowds. Resorts take full advantage of the remoteness that a deserted island affords. Privacy is paramount: Bungalows are cleverly designed to feel secluded, and some are only accessible by boat. Overwater villas make for quiet accommodations, and many boast individual infinity pools and personal butler service. Glass floors allow guests to gaze at the sea life below, and sun-drenched decks make it difficult to leave the villa, thanks to sunken tubs and cushy seats.
