A new offering from the adults-only Anantara Veli in Maldives will allow travelers to use the resort as a personal emergency platform for the holidays, but it will cost you.
The $ 30,000 package covers the use of a two-person overwater bungalow on the private island property for unlimited use during 2021, with airport transfers and breakfast largely included.

There will also be discounts on add-ons, including Ayurvedic spa treatments, Maldivian cooking lessons, and water activities such as diving, snorkeling, and surfing.
While that price is certainly high, it is less than the cost of a permanent vacation home in many parts of the world.
Another potential advantage: it will go very well with the new national loyalty program, the first of its kind, that the Maldives is rolling out in 2021.
In September 2020, officials from the Indian Ocean country announced that a three-tier tourism loyalty program called Maldives Border Miles would debut next year.
Although details on how the program will work on a practical level have not yet been revealed, there are gold, silver and bronze tiers, which will correspond to the amount of money spent in the country and will come with rewards and perks for frequent visitors.
The Maldives, which is heavily dependent on international tourism for its economy, was relatively early in opening its borders amid the global coronavirus crisis.
The archipelago’s geography helped considerably, as most of the tourist accommodation is on private islands or atolls far from the densely populated capital of Male.
According to data from Johns Hopkins University, the Maldives has had 12,059 confirmed cases of Covid-19, with only 12 deaths.
