The Maldives: Overwater Villas with Unexpected Design at Le Méridien Maldives Resort & Spa
The Maldives is known for luxurious hotels, with dreamy overwater villas set on a jewel-tone sea. But not every villa is the same. On one island in the Maldives, a hotel is drawing from unexpected sources of inspiration: fashion and Bauhaus design.
In this episode, host Hamish Kilburn chats with designer Dan Kridsada to trade Maldives travel stories and reveal all the careful decisions that go into constructing an overwater villa. From the bold guest rooms to the panoramic bar where travelers can watch the sun set over an infinite horizon, Hamish learns how design can heighten the experience of being dropped onto an island in the Indian Ocean.
