Palm Beach Resort*****Imagine an undisturbed lush green tropical forest. Exotic tropical blooms and ripe luscious fruits. The music of birds calling out to each other. The gentle sound of wind rustling the leaves. The rushing of waves to shore in the background – the perfect tropical symphony. What would you call a place such as this? We call it Palm Beach Island. Palm Beach Island is one of the most naturally beautiful islands in the Maldives – where 1192 islands renowned world wide for their beauty lie sanguine and sublime across the Indian Ocean. Those who have been to the island swear by its beauty. Situated right on the edge of one of the 20 atolls in the Maldives, the Palm Beach Island has a land area of 21.75Ha. Fine white coral sand runs right around the island, creating 3.40km of beautiful beach. The surrounding lagoon is an azure blue, perfect for snorkeling, swimming or for a lazy sailing trip in the afternoon. In developing Palm Beach Island as your ideal holiday destination, Palm Beach's top priority has been to leave this awesome natural beauty as undisturbed and untouched as possible. Local tourism regulations allow development of 20 percent of the island. But Palm Beach have stuck to just 6.48 percent, leaving most of the island as it is – for your optimal enjoyment of its natural blessings. Walk beneath the tall palm trees, their tops heavy with coconuts, the large screw pines with their red and orange fruits, meander through the tropical trees, rest beneath the shade of the umbrella-like age old banyan trees. Enjoy the profusion of color, take in the scent of the greenery – it’s the definite sounds and smells of an undisturbed tropical rain forest. Once again, the environment is top priority. All 100 rooms on the island have been designed to blend into the vegetation. Trees surround you, the beach beckons just a few steps away. A view of the ocean is clearly visible from the comfort of your room. Every bungalow is a study in elegance and luxury. Offering the best of international cuisine, the elegant restaurant is open for lunch and dinner every night. Experienced international chefs ensure that there’s food on the table to satisfy every palate and every taste. The grill, serviced by the restaurant provides you with lobsters, crabs and perfectly grilled steaks to ensure that every craving for good food you have experienced is satisfied. If some spicy oriental food or good continental food is your choice of the evening, visit the Oriental/continental restaurant where chefs specialized in Chinese, Thai and Western cuisine cooks your dish to perfection. Situated adjacent to the Oriental/Continental restaurant and right next to the beach, the Piano Bar is where you get your fill of good music. Even as the tunes of classical music begin to permeate the air, the sea in the background begins to play the remaining piece of the orchestra – creating music that would remain in your ears for along time to come. Grab a table on the beach and give yourself away to the music, the moon above and the millions of twinkling stars. This is romance like you have never experienced before. It is a seductive affair with nature. Champage and cocktails are available from the bar if that is what you feel like. The choice is always yours in Palm Beach. Whenever you feel like some light food at any time of the day or night, the Coffee Shop is the place to be.
