20 Photos to Inspire You to Visit The Maldives

The Maldives has been a destination that has been on my bucket list for some time. Earlier this year, I got to visit the island destinations for four days, and as a lover of bikinis, ocean and diving, I couldn’t have been more excited.

I stayed at Boutique Beach Diving Hotel on Dhigurah Island for a few nights to get a taste of the local culture, and knock some big dives off my list. Check out my diving experience below!

Overall, my trip was so memorable. I had with two days of amazing diving, and I got to experience my first seaplane flight, my first swim with whale sharks, and some fun in the tropical sun!

I also got to stay in an over-the-water bungalow — dreams really do come true! Imagine waking up to the beautiful, pristine green waters right outside your door.

The Maldives are truly paradise… and I can’t wait to go back!

Unforgettable memories from the ultimate girls’ weekend getaway—with 18 kids, sunshine, and pure luxury at @lascasitaspm 🌴✨

Las Casitas is managed by @vehm.mx, the premier property management company in Punta Mita. They oversee the most exclusive villas in the area, and every one of their properties is fully staffed and loaded with luxury amenities.

This gorgeous beachfront estate in the exclusive Kupuri community features three private casitas, 12 bedrooms, 13.5 bathrooms, a stunning infinity pool, hot tub, gym, and beach access. It’s designed for big groups, but feels intimate, relaxed, and totally elevated.

The real MVPs? The incredible full-time staff. We had a chef, sous chef, pastry chef, butler, concierge, and housekeeping—literally someone looking after our every need. Every meal was a gourmet experience, and every moment was effortless (which, with 18 kids, is saying a lot).

@vehm.mx helped us coordinate in-house massages for the mamas, and organized a piñata for the kids and a mariachi band to celebrate Oliver’s birthday THREE-esta!

Perfect for a 40th birthday, girlfriend getaway, or large family trip—we’re already planning our return. I can’t recommend it enough (or stop talking about it)!  Drop “VACAY” below for an exclusive 10% discount on any @vehm.mx villa booking! 🇲🇽

The kids ate freshly grilled burgers (with brioche buns baked by our in-house pastry chef) and snacked on homemade churros. The mamas were served fresh poke bowls and lobster tacos.

We had homemade paletas by the pool and sipped chilled coconut water fresh from the source. The food and service was out of this world!
