I recently went to the Maldives.  My favourite resort destination.  Everything in the Maldives looks like paradise, like a more perfect version of what your wildest fantasies could imagine.  The sand is so white it's like a huge sheet of white silk, so fine and soft you never get sick of it (and I'm not a big sand person - I hate it in my hair). I stayed at the Banyan Tree Madivaru.  It's a tiny island with only six rooms (more of that in future posts).  These photos were taken on the beach just outside our room.  We bought the Kebaya Top while in Singapore the week before.
