The Pool at Constance Halaveli

"There’s a pool, of course, and three restaurants to choose from"

"This is a romantic luxury resort, with lavish accommodation largely in 57 huge water villas, each of which comes with an large plunge pool in black slate, wood and marble flooring and traditional thatched roofs"

"A classic Maldivian island-resort with 86 villas, some overwater and some on the beach, all with individual plunge pools"

"Accommodating double loungers by the pool are accompanied by the biggest striped beach towels we have ever seen – we wrap one around our five-year-old four times (a very good trick to keep her in one place for a little while)"

"The 86 airy villas have lovely amenities like wine coolers and terraces with plunge pools -- but some are in a garden on the beach and not over-the-water"
