Spend 2021 at luxe Maldives getaway for price of a Manhattan apartment

Why waste your work-from-home winter in cold, dark, wintry New York when, for the price of a Manhattan rental, you can spend 2021 in a luxury overwater bungalow in a luxurious paradise?

For the month of November, the Anantara Veli Maldives Resort in the island nation is now offering an ‘Unlimited Stays in Paradise’ package for all of 2021 — where guests can book unlimited nights for just $30,000 – which amounts to $2,500 a month, less than the average price of a one-bedroom Manhattan rental.

Normal rates for an overwater bungalow start at $466 a night.

“Elevate working from home to a new level or simply escape to sunnier climes to enjoy some R&R whenever the fancy takes,” the resort notes. “Make this island paradise your bolthole for the duration of 2021.”

The offer includes luxury accommodation in an overwater bungalow, daily breakfast for two, shared return transfers between Anantara Veli and the Maldives capital city Malé as often as required, and 25% savings on dining and spa treatments. There is a pool and gym on-site with regular yoga classes and a fully functioning dive and snorkeling facility so you can check out the reef after work.

The offer expires on November 30, 2020, and bookings can only be made by contacting [email protected].
