Cheval Blanc Randheli
In the Maldives, Cheval Blanc Randheli stands out as an epitome of elegance amidst turquoise-fringed, white-sanded luxury. Crafted by visionary Jean-Michel Gathy, the 45 villas, some poised over the water, others nestled along the beach, overflow with bespoke, artistic details beneath cathedral-like, thatched roofs.
A standout option for the luxury traveler. The Prince & Princess of Wales frequently spend their vacations at this LVMH-owned location.
About
Guided by a dedicated majordomo (butler), your days unfold seamlessly, from meticulous unpacking to arranging fine dining or exhilarating diving excursions. Complimentary laundry service greets guests upon arrival. Each villa comes equipped with bicycles. Engage in yoga and meditation sessions with Master Puneet, or opt for invigorating gym sessions, tennis matches, or boot camp workouts on a neighboring island. Indulge in the golf simulator or water adventures, from paddleboarding to seabobbing. The Dive Centre orchestrates snorkeling, diving escapades, and dolphin cruises. The sole Guerlain Spa in the Maldives beckons from its own island, nestled amidst palm trees. A Kids' Club offers a plethora of indoor and outdoor activities, while the Concept Store brims with designer delights.
Rooms
Spread across over-water, island, and beach garden settings, the 45 villas feature sleek swimming pools, hammocks, loungers, and expansive daybeds. The Owner’s Villa, nestled on a private island, boasts four bedrooms with an adjacent one-bedroom cottage. Interiors evoke the allure of driftwood, shells, Gaia ceramics, and petrified wood. Expansive spaces seamlessly transform with swiveling oak panels. Villas boast three rain showers, including alfresco options, and an oval bathtub with 'his and hers' basins. Amenities bear the hallmark of Leonor Greyl. Beds are dressed in the finest white or taupe cotton. The only hiccup lies in the sound system/television, demanding a technical adeptness beyond the ordinary.
Dining
Indulge in a culinary journey at 1947 Restaurant, where a tasting menu showcases an array of delights (savor the wild turbot with chanterelle mushrooms). Deelani tempts with Mediterranean specialties, from homemade pizzas to black cod with olive tapenade. White's offers local Maldivian flavors, including tuna curries and gourmet burgers. Diptyque tantalizes with Japanese and Asian fare (don't overlook the sensational rock shrimp tempura). Breakfast presents both à la carte options (including healthy kaffir lime infusions and caviar-topped boiled eggs) and a buffet brimming with local fruits and freshly baked pastries.
