Men's Health - UK (2019-07)

When to Go

November-April

Temperatures average

at around 31°C all year

round, and winter sun is

almost guaranteed. The

summer is monsoon

season, so it’s cheaper

• but it can get stormy.

How to Get There

Flight

Emirates flies daily from

London to Malé via

Dubai from £688. Cheval

Blanc Randheli provides

a private seaplane to

the resort. For further

information, visit

emirates.com.

Where to Stay

Cheval Blanc Randheli

Room rates start from

£1,500 per villa per

night. This is based

on the one-bedroom

Lagoon Villa and

includes breakfast

for two. To book,

visit chevalblanc.com.

Chemical

Advantage

Harness your

hormones to

turn any holiday

into a power trip

YOGA FLOW =

LOWER CORTISOL

KITE SURFING =

SEROTONIN LIFT

SUNSHINE =

BOOST VITAMIN D

MASSAGE =

DOPAMINE HIT

Finally, if you want to look as good as

you feel, book in for a Randheli Sun Ritual

spa treatment. Its combination of gentle

exfoliation and massage is designed to

relax you and to maintain your tan long

after you’ve landed back in Britain.

It is possible to move out of the slow

lane, if only briefly. Jet skis are available

from the water sports centre, as well

as kitesurfing kit, and you can also

wakeboard around the islands.

All of which are enough to elicit a hit

of the mood-boosting hormone serotonin.

Not that your mood needs a boost out here

• until it’s time to leave, that is. But rather
  than dwell on sad goodbyes and holiday
  blues, might we suggest ordering another
  cocktail and extending your stay for
  one more night? We’re sure your boss
  will understand. Maybe.
