Inauguration of Halaveli Resort, Maldives

Going on holiday in Maldives have it spoiled for choice in hotel: forget the guesthouses and other accommodation in private homes, we must choose between establishment of middle class and luxury hotels. But the luxury hotels are multiplying in the Maldives, despite the alarmist ads environmentalists of all stripes who howl at the sinking of the islands under the rising waters of the Indian Ocean. Ignorance or unconsciousness? Still, the hotel groups continue to invest heavily in the Maldives and had the chance to live eight days of dreams in the newest luxury hotel opened by the group on the island of Constance Halaveli at the Opening Halaveli Resort . Let me take him to my luxury villa on stilts!

Remember I talked about this article upon the inauguration of this blog devoted to luxury hotels in September 2008, the resort was still Halaveli as publications of promotion pictures but I was already fantasizing. And so many of you have read this article, and check back regularly ... I have seen your legitimate curiosity as a challenge and I fielded beginning in May 2009 when the hotel was not even opened !

They warned me: "I'm not sure that is a good idea because the services are not yet fully developed, the Resort will open Halaveli customer in June alone". Well I did not take into account the legitimate deduction. More precisely, knowing the predominant concern for quality within the hotels group Constance, I knew that perfection - if she was so premature - do not wait too long to come forward and then I could give you an account without concern for real Benefits Halaveli Resort. So I boarded the first plane available to the company XL Airways that performs direct flights to the Maldives from Paris, and I landed 9 hours and 30 minutes later than April 30, 2009 the small airport in Malé , the capital of Maldives.

At daybreak, after a long flight, even under good conditions, there is little attention to the beauty of the landscape flying before landing. But an hour after my arrival in the private lounge of Halaveli located on the airport seaplane which serves all the islands of the archipelago, while I was refreshed and relaxed atmosphere padded and refined with a staff very caring but Discrete (pictured cons), I was more prepared to enjoy the view from the windows of the seaplane company Maldivian Air Taxi , which serves, among others, the island of Halaveli. At the discretion of the thirty minutes' duration of the journey between the islands have left the serenity and pleasure overwhelm me while admiring the turquoise rings atolls that make the reputation of the Maldives. I like a lot Seychelles, you know, but Sky views the Maldives are to my mind the most beautiful islands in the world, and approaching the island you will understand why Halaveli (Halaveli Resort photo above) ...

The company Maldivian Air Taxi serves the island of Halaveli, but this morning because I was the only visitor to the hotel and the driver was carrying other clients to other islands, I asked foot sea (yes, it's possible!) on inflatable pontoon anchored between two islands! The time to make sure that my luggage had landed property (which was done with the usual precautions should be taken in all airports of the world), and a fast boat motor already docked smoothly along the quay before I even have noticed the few parrot fish who came to welcome me in these waters that I would happily explore two days later. So I arrived by sea on the island of Halaveli, hosted by an attentive staff and smiling, and in three different languages. And believe me, even if you're not a VIP (Very Important Person), you'll slip easily into the role that you are ready for a few days ...

One of the valuable tips Halaveli Resort is to use the waiting room at the airport (which may be bigger than your apartment in Paris) to conduct the registration of your arrival. When you leave a aircraft so you will not have to beg for it you to your room. At Halaveli Resort, less than ten minutes, you will be a cocktail of fresh squeezed juices, while explaining the hours of service in hotels and other facilities, showing them on the island map that will be given. A great way to immediately identify and decide very quickly your leisure to come. A few words of welcome to accompany you additional golf cart that takes you to your final residence for the dream vacation in the Maldives. Note that we push the sensitivity up to you assign the day a driver using your birth language (French, rejoice in the presence of warm Mauritian staff on site).

If your spouse has done things, he has pushed the romance you do not disclose the terms of your stay in Maldives, you will remain voiceless and the beating heart when the cart silent commit to the wooden pier Halaveli Resort makes a record like this: 1800 meters long by shelling the "rooms" that you discover in the next minutes. To me, traveling alone, no surprise, but still a nice feeling and a big smile to hide a near euphoric while riding along the turquoise lagoon surrounded by the left bar lounge of the hotel at the edge of a dazzling beach, right by the bungalow on stilts that houses the dive center. And shortly before 11:00 in the morning when I left the evening sky gray and chilly as the fog in Paris, I went under a blazing sun in a villa on the water that devolved on me for eight days ...
