This year I was lucky enough to spend Christmas on a beautiful island in the Maldives. I wanted to capture the steamy tropical surroundings in my photographs, with my own take on the classic white sand- turquoise sea- green palm tree combination. It was an amazing place to spend a week, aided by the stunning architecture, minimalist- with a focus on white paint and washed out wood paneling, courtesy of the chic Italian owners.
I would recommend Athuruga to anyone, utter tranquility (if you ignore the slightly annoying Italian singer..) http://athurugabeach.diamonds-resorts.com/
