It may be true that Maldives’ luxury resorts really do have it all – the turquoise water, the rich marine life, and, in some cases, their own time system.
Referred to as “island time,” it isn’t a figurative saying that invites guests to relax and forget about the passing minutes. Many resorts move their clocks at least one hour ahead of the country’s official time zone – which is five hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time .
The Westin Maldives Miriandhoo Resort, for instance, hosts sunrise yoga and run sessions – dubbed WestinRun. The Ritz-Carlton Maldives, Fari Islands serves dinner at its poolside bar with a sunset Maldivian boduberu drum performance, whereas the St. Regis sabers a bottle of Champagne at 6:45 p.m. for their guests.
