A Trip to Paradise: Ayada Maldives

Because it just isn’t getting warm enough fast enough for some of us, Destination Design goes tropical this month to the Maldive Islands. The Ayada Maldives is a resort and spa, complete with a dive and water sports center. (There’s even a Kids Club for those of you saddled with tots.) The island’s 112 villas are located in the central region of a pristine reef, surrounded by a shallow lagoon. In a word, breathtaking.
