Rude Travel by Vir Sanghvi: Glamming up your getaway

Every island in the Maldives is stunning. So, how do resorts offer a luxury upgrade? At Cheval Blanc it’s by elevating experiences–food, service, spa and beyond

What is real luxury in the hotel business? Many hoteliers I speak to say that these days, luxury is all about resort properties.

You won’t go hungry at Cheval Blanc. There are five restaurants for 46 villas.

What makes Cheval Blanc successful is that even if you spend all your time in the room, you don’t get bored.

The welcome Champagne is Ruinart and room service offers over a dozen types of caviar.

There is no Michelin guide to the Maldives but if there was, 1947 would probably get a Michelin star.

The resort believes that if a guest feels pampered, he or she will come back.
