Best new resorts

On the off chance that it just keeps raining and we never get a real summer here at home, we’ve found three new resorts that are certainly raising the temperature.

The Cheval Blanc Randheli in the Maldives.

For a true tropical getaway, the Maldives’ Cheval Blanc Randheli features 45 airy thatched-roof villas devised by architect Jean-Michel Gathy on a breathtaking site on the Indian Ocean’s Noonu Atoll.

The St. Regis Mauritius Resort, off Madagascar.

Another stylish beach haven is the St Regis Mauritius Resort, off the east coast of Madagascar. Set against a dramatic mountainous backdrop, the idyllic hideaway boasts 172 rooms and suites within elegant Victorian-style buildings.

The Manta Resort, off Pemba Island

Last but not least, situated off the eastern coast of Africa by Pemba Island, a private floating island, the Manta Resort provides guests with an all-inclusive hotel room submerged four meters below the surface of the ocean.
