If you’re in Chicago, you better hurry up and book your flight to the Maldives before the prices go higher. The island archipelago is one of the few destinations in the world to relax and enjoy a holiday without having to worry about COVID-19 restrictions. As resorts in the Maldives are on their very own private island, isolation comes naturally for holidaymakers.

Crowned as the World’s Leading Destination in 2020, the Maldives has revolutionized how people can vacation in the new normal.
