This is part of a trip report on the Maldives. The Park Water Villa is the most expensive of the villas and sits right on the water!
These are some pictures of the inside.
No outdoor shower this time!
And the deck outside – I loved sitting here looking at the stars at night!
With our own swim ladder to go snorkeling!
The actual cost for our two nights was $3,819 AND it was free because we used our Hyatt award nights. I think it was my favorite villa! Next up, Park Pool Villa.
This is part of a trip report to the Maldives. We were able to stay at the Park Hyatt Maldives Hadahaa absolutely free using our Hyatt reward nights! And because we are Hyatt Platinum members, we were given complementary upgrades throughout our four night stay, so we were able to check out all three villas. Here is an overview of our first night at the Park Villa, the least expensive of the villas. This was our very private “backyard” with an outdoor tub, shower, and seating area…
This is the dual sink bathroom area, with a separate indoor shower and toilet (no pictures of those), and the glass doors leading out to the back.
The photo below shows how big the area was!
Here’s some shots of our room, where they graciously put in two beds to accommodate us (we took turns)!
The desks are all equipped with iPads and there is free wifi throughout the property.
This is the deck leading to the …
BEACH, our own semi private beach, we only saw a couple of other guests!
The actual cost for our one night at the Park Villa is $1,475, including taxes and fees! What a TREAT! Next up, the Park Water Villa.
The Maldives (pronounced mal-deevz) are located in the Indian Ocean and consist of 26 natural atolls (an atoll being a ring of reefs sprinkled with islands). There are 1,200 islands, many uninhabited, and 100 of them are exclusive resort islands. It has the lowest elevation of any country on earth, and I must say, is one of the MOST beautiful! 
This was sunrise the morning after we arrived in the capital of Male.
We only spent one night there after many long flights transiting through Hong Kong (more on that later). But remember our entire airfare was only $85 and 150,000 AA miles, so we didn’t complain. Our resort representative met us at the airport and escorted us to a lounge, while they checked us in. My youngest son is working in the Middle East, and spent the night with us in Male, so this was a very excited mom!
We flew Maldivian Airlines to an island farther south and you can see the atolls and islands from an aerial viewpoint.
In the photo below, the “V” are over the water bungalows on another island. We stayed two nights in one on our island, details to follow!
Then we took a boat ride about 30 minutes to the Park Hyatt Maldives Hadahaa, our own private island 55 km north of the Equator.
Business class on Cathay Pacific, what’s not to love?! Flight attendants KNOW your name (!?!), your wish is their command, and they are always ready with a friendly smile! (This is part three of a trip report to the Maldives).
Seats are configured in a 1-2-1 arrangement and we were seated next to the window in the single seats, one behind the other. Since my hubby could not go, I am traveling with a friend, who loves to travel like me!
We received an amenity kit, and I loved the socks!
Since it was a long flight to Hong Kong, we had lots of meals. First dinner, later a light snack – one of the BEST hamburgers I’ve ever had, and breakfast before landing. This was one of the appetizers…
And dessert, of course…
