“Anantara World Islands offers an interesting proposition: the Maldives, but within sight of Dubai's skyline. While experiences seem to vary, the potential for attentive, personalized service exists, particularly within the higher-end suites with private beach access. I imagine a stay here could be quite memorable, striking a balance between city access and island escape, though perhaps best suited for those prioritizing novelty and convenience over true Maldivian remoteness.”
