For many, the sunken infinity pool bar at the Four Seasons Kuda Huraa resort in the Maldives is the epicentre of cool, the equatorial equivalent to a central sitting at The Ivy. Between the months of December and April anyone who can finagle a beach bungalow at this luxury resort is privy to the spectacle of champagne sipping celebrities and taut glamour gals sheathed (nonchalantly of course) in Gucci Reptiles and who, admittedly, have a cute way of sashaying in their Burberry bikinis to the submerged octagonal bar chairs at the bar without compromising their composure. It’s all recherché and carefree, but it’s a scene we have witnessed before in Barbados and Bali. That palpable air of affluence that goes hand in hand with exotic, up-scale resorts.
