Remember that feeling of climbing a tree as a kid, with each tree branch taking you a little bit further from all the parents, teachers, and prepubescent problems of the day?

Conrad Maldives Rangali Island is the type of place you stay to feel like a Bond villain for the weekend. It’s accessible only by seaplane and offers swimming (and dining) with sharks. World domination costs extra.
