-> YOU AND YOUR BOYFRIEND recently went to the Maldives, wanting to unwind and relax from all the pressure you’ve both been under the past month. You both agreed on going to the beach as soon as you got there.
You changed in the hotel bathroom, wearing a baby pink bikini that accentuates your curves. You decided to put a shirt and some shorts on first. Tom on the other hand, wore his trunks and a shirt.
You grabbed your beach bag, your sunglasses along. “Baby? You ready to go?” You ask him, he walks out the bathroom, wrapping an arm around your waist. “Ja, Schatzi. Let’s go?” He kissed your temple, smiling.
You nod, heading out your hotel room and heading to the beach. Upon arrival, you both went to a secluded area of the beach, not wanting any fans or paparazzi disturbing or coming up to you both.
You put on some sunscreen, putting on your sunglasses as he sits down on the beach chair. He ordered some food, ordering both of your favourites. You remove your shirt and shorts, as he eyes your body up and down.
He smirks, playing with his lip piercing. “wow baby, all this for me?” He teased, pulling you by the waist. You roll your eyes playfully, as you got up, running towards the water and taking a dip.
You go under the water, admiring the clear sandy water, grabbing some shells on the way. After a few minutes of him watching you intently, he calls you over. “Sweetheart, can you c’mere for a second?” He yelled, smirking.
You got out the water, your body dripping wet and your breasts jiggling as you jog towards him. His cock instantly hardened up at the sight.
He beckoned a finger, signaling to come near him. “what is it, baby?” You smile, grabbing your towel. He smirks, removing his sunglasses. “need your help, my love.” As he points to his obvious bulge.
You roll your eyes, “seriously? here on the beach?” you giggle, freeing his cock. You stroke his member slowly, kissing him from time to time. “fuck, yes baby— shit, jus’ like that..” he whimpered.
You stop your actions, smiling widely. “beg f’me, baby.” You smile, biting your lip. “please, y/n. I-I need you s’bad—“ he whined, bucking his hips into your hand.
You smiled innocently, removing your hand. “aht aht, not convinced that you need me that badly, sweetie.” You coed, teasingly. “please, please. I need you more than anything right now, princess.” He whined, pouting up at you.
You smirk, stroking his hardened cock once more. He moaned, grabbing your wrist to guide you through it faster. “m’close, sweetheart— don’t stop..” as he came all over your hand.
You move your panties to the side, revealing your sopping wet pussy to his hungry eyes. He moaned, feeling you ride him. “fuck— you like that, baby?” You teased, riding him.
He nodded, whimpering and groaning. He intertwined your hand onto his, smiling up at you. You moaned, giggling at his clingyness. “y-you close.. ah! baby?” he moaned, stuttering.
“ja, baby— fuck, m’cumming!” You moaned, riding him faster. He groaned, cumming into your womb. You pant, collapsing on his chest as he runs his fingers into your hair.
“Danke schön, Schatz.” As he kissed your forehead lovingly.
the waiter wasn’t expecting the sight as he brought out your food.
even the paparazzi in the bushes.

I thought of an idea for ra's stories Imagine that the male reader is Bruce's eldest son, and one day on a vacation (maybe he went to the Maldives), Ra's shows up and starts trying to spend time with him. And he has one of the best vacations in the unlikely company of Ra's
Oh yeah... I wish I could go to Maldives... Away from this winter and cold weather in general.
Summary: (Y/N) goes to the Maldives to relax. Ra's has some intentions.
Warnings: Ra's and (Y/N) just hanging out, (Y/N) doesn't know what the hell's going on, maybe a growing relationship?
Tumblr media
(Y/N) sighed in relief as he left the plane. His legs were slightly cramping due to the fact that he has spent over 20 hours on the plane. He stretched as he made his way to pick up his luggage. The flight was nice and he slept for a better part of it. He ate some of the food that they served, but the food didn't fill him and he wasn't full by any means.
So first stop is to get a seaplane and then got to his resort. Then the first thing he is going to do is sleep a little bit and then go out and explore the Maldives. He is still jet lagged, despite sleeping for a good part of the flight.
He rubbed his eyes as he made his way to the pick up for the seaplane. He took the VIP plane of course. Bruce paid for everything and gave (Y/N) a hefty amount of pocket money to spend on the way he pleases.
Bruce also bought the return ticket. (Y/N) needed this vacation. After months of just being stressed due to a case, Bruce decided to send him on the vacation the moment that the case was over.
(Y/N) didn't have any complaints about that. Especially when Bruce paid for everything.
(Y/N) sighed as he was put in the seaplane, waiting for the plane to start. His luggage was put somewhere in the back. After 10 minutes of waiting, they started going to the hotel, well, resort. Bruce has booked a 5 star hotel and it was near the beach and it had a bar.
And more importantly, there was Wi-fi connection for free. After landing, (Y/N) quickly made his way to the front desk, checking in quickly and then going up to his room. The view was breathtaking.
He laid down on the bed, taking his phone out of his pocket, calling Bruce. He promised that he is going to call him when he got to his hotel room.
He waited for a second before Bruce picked up.
" Hey, you got into your hotel? " Bruce asked with a breathy voice.
" Yup. Are you lot on patrol? " (Y/N) asked and Bruce hummed in agreement.
" I won't keep you then. Let the others know that I made it safely. " (Y/N) said, bidding Bruce a goodbye for now..
Bruce bid him goodbye too and (Y/N) ended the call. He took his shoes off and took his clothes off, leaving his boxers on. He just dozed off, allowing himself to sleep for a couple of hours.
(Y/N) opened his eyes, yawning quietly. He looked at the time on his phone. He got here in the morning and noon has passed. He stood up, taking his towel, quickly changing into the swimsuit he brought with him.
He put on a shirt too and took his phone. He tapped his pocket for the room key and off he went. It was just perfect time for him to go to. It was starting to get warm and he just needed to get refreshed.
He walked down to the front desk and stepped out in the warm air. For November it's hot and this weather in Gotham is just impossible. (Y/N) wished for this weather to be in Gotham. The cold was just getting on his nerves at this point.
He put his towel down on the sand and took his shirt off. Shoes got off too and he hid his hotel room key and phone into his sneakers, then put the shirt over it.
He turned back to the beach before just running in. He dove in when the water got to his knees. The water felt heavenly on his skin and when he emerged he smiled. The stress seemingly melted away and he was more calm.
And his blood pressure has gone down. He swam around for a while, enjoying the water. He turned his head to check on his stuff. His eyes widened when he saw a familiar face.
What the fuck is Ra's doing next to his towel? (Y/N) quickly swam to the shore shaking his head to get the water out of his eyes.
" Ra's? " (Y/N) asked as he walked up to the man who was just in a white shirt and green swimming shorts.
And sunglasses too. A stylish bastard.
" The one and only. " Ra's smirked as he took his sunglasses off.
" What the hell are you doing here?! " (Y/N) asked, blood pressure raising automatically.
" I just took a vacation. Even I need a break from my work sometimes." Ra's replied in his smooth voice, his Arabic accent seeping through on purpose.
The old bastard.
" Where are you staying? I could use some company. " Ra's said and (Y/N) just took his towel to wipe the water off of him.
" I'm not telling you where I'm staying. " (Y/N) replied hastily and Ra's smirked.
" Are you staying in the Four Seasons nearby by any means? " Ra's said and (Y/N) stopped using his towel and then he put it around his neck.
" As luck would have it, I'm staying there too. " Ra's said and (Y/N) has thought about changing hotels. Or calling Bruce. But Ra's is either going to follow him to another hotel just to annoy him.
" Why can't I spend one vacation in peace? " (Y/N) wondered out loud and Ra's still smirked.
" Am I really such bad company? "
" Yes. " (Y/N) answered without any hesitation.
" I can recognize a lie when I see one. I'm not here to ruin your vacation when I came here. I didn't even know you were here. " Ra's said and (Y/N) just wanted to die. Sure, Ra's is not a liar, but still.
" I should have gone to Greece instead of here. Or Bahamas. " (Y/N) said as a matter of fact. He really should have.
" Now now, it's not all that bad. We can spend our vacations together." Ra's said with what looked like a genuine smile.
" Oh God. Spending my vacation with my arch nemesis. " (Y/N) said, rubbing his forehead.
" How about you get refreshed and then we can go to the bar in the hotel. " Ra's suggested and by God did (Y/N) need some alcohol now. But wait, Maldives are an Islamic country.
" I thought that Maldives is in an Islamic country. " (Y/N) said and Ra's nodded.
" They are, but due to tourists coming they had to allow it. Maldives, survive off of tourism so they needed to adjust a little bit. " Ra's explained and (Y/N) felt a little bit better knowing that there was alcohol. Does (Y/N) drink often? No.
Does he drink when he is stressed? Yes. And now he could go for one.
" You know what, screw it. Why not? " (Y/N) accepted and Ra's smiled once more.
" I will see you in an hour. " Ra's said as he walked off of the beach, leaving (Y/N) alone. (Y/N) laughed after a moment, letting it all sink in.
What has he done to himself?
(Y/N) changed into some shorts that reached his knees and a white shirt. He made his way down to the bar, room key and phone in a little fanny back around his left shoulder, hanging and resting in the center of his chest.
He saw the bar and made his way to it. Ra's was sitting at one of the tables a little bit further away from the bar. It seemed quiet and private enough for a conversation. Ra's waved him over when he saw him and (Y/N) slowly walked there.
(Y/N) sat down across from him. It seems that Ra's is drinking their tea.
" I have ordered some black tea. I must say, it's one of the better ones I have tried in my on this Earth. " Ra's said and (Y/N) shook his head.
" I can believe so, but I'm not a fan of tea in general. "
" I know that. I saw a great variety juices, cocktails, beers, wines... Even the famous Coke. " Ra's suggested, bringing the mug to his lips.
" I could go for something with less sugar. " (Y/N) admitted, turning his head to look at the waitress.
" Coke for me please. " (Y/N) said to her with a smile and she left to get it.
" Do you really need a break? I don't think you know the meaning of the word vacation. " (Y/N) asked crossing his arms, leaning on them.
" I don't? " Ra's asked, interested in (Y/N)'s thought process.
" Yes. From what Damian told me, just work, the League, then the Light, but then you stepped down from the Light... All in all, you work. I didn't even think that you even know the meaning of the word." (Y/N) mused, a small smirk on his face.
" Oh? " Ra's asked, now completely amused. " Well, I can assure you, I need some vacation time. I haven't been to the Maldives in a long while. Would you believe me if I told you that I needed to destress? " Ra's said, taking a sip of his tea.
" I needed to destress, not you. I had an awful case for months and once it was over, Brue sent me here, all expenses paid. "
" I have to digress here a little bit. I thought you were going to order something alcoholic. " Ra's said as he watched the waitress put the Coke and glass in front of him.
(Y/N) thanked here and turned his attention back to Ra's.
" I need to stay vigilant with you. Alcohol might impair my judgement and I have to vigilant. " (Y/N) said, taking his coke to try it. It was a nice and pleasant taste. Less sweet than in the USA.
He is officially addicted.
" Now, I have a proposition for you. Since we aren't alone on vacation anymore, how about we spend some time together? I was going to fly out to Male, the capital. I haven't been there for a long time and I always found it beautiful. " Ra's said, looking directly into (Y/N)'s eyes.
" And I wanted to invite you to come with me. It's always better to have some company. " Ra's said and (Y/N) raised his brow. Huh.
" You know what? Why not? When? "
The two quickly fell into planning for the evening. (Y/N) didn't expect to say yes to Ra's, one of his enemies, but he is on vacation. It should be an universal rule that you shouldn't be an enemy with your enemy on vacation.
Enemies should tolerate one another during vacation. After planning the time to go to the city, they just fell into a nice casual conversation. Something that he really can't say, normally, about Ra's. They talked about everything they could think and Ra's appreciated the way he intellectually challenged him.
(Y/N) and Ra's have come back to the hotel, both exhausted from all the walking and eating that they have been doing. Food from Maldives is on a whole another level. (Y/N) felt like he was bloated like never before.
Ra's was no better from the food.
The two had a nice stroll in the city and have shared something that could be called a date. But was it really a date? (Y/N) thought of it like that, but did Ra's did?
Ra's insisted to walk him to his room. (Y/N) just brushed it off to Ra's being an old fashioned gentleman. Ra's has lived for over 800 years and has a lot of experience with lovers. Probably with both genders too.
But then, why would he insist on walking (Y/N) back to his room if this wasn't a date? Why would the time they have spent in the city be so nice and almost intimate?
And why would Ra's want to date him? Damian is like a brother to him and would that stop Ra's from dating him?
Ra's seemingly didn't catch on (Y/N)'s tornado of thoughts in his head. They stopped in front of (Y/N)'s room and (Y/N) felt awkward beyond belief.
Why now?
" I must say, I had great time with you (Y/N). I hope that we will see each other again. Unfortunately, I have to leave tomorrow, but I most definitely will see you once you get back. " Ra's said, face dangerously close and he moved to kiss (Y/N)'s cheek.
(Y/N) allowed it. Just for the record.
" Look forward to seeing you. " Ra's said as he gently lifted (Y/N)'s arms to kiss them before leaving (Y/N) in the hall, dumbfounded.
Why is this happening to him? Why is he looking forward to it? He turned to unlock his door, before Ra's came back.
" What's going on? " (Y/N) asked, confused.
" I have some great news. I'm prolonging my stay. Whatever comes up, Ubu can handle it. " Ra's said and (Y/N) had to smirk at that.
" Wow. So we are going to see each other tomorrow? " (Y/N) asked hopefully.
" Of course. I have so many activities planned. " Ra's said and with a last kiss to (Y/N)'s cheek, he left to go to his room. (Y/N) sighed quietly. He is screwed.
Bruce can't find about this for now... (Y/N) should see where this goes.

Ultimate Travel Recommendations: Your Guide to an Unforgettable Adventure
Tumblr media
Traveling opens up worlds of wonder, giving you the chance to explore different cultures, sample unique cuisines, and marvel at natural and architectural beauty. Here are top recommendations to help you embark on a memorable journey, whether you’re a solo  Travel recommendations, exploring with friends, or vacationing with family.
1. Choose the Right Destination for Your Goals
Your ideal destination depends on what you're looking for—be it relaxation, adventure, cultural immersion, or a combination of experiences. Researching the location can ensure you don’t miss hidden gems or local favorites. Here’s a breakdown of some unique travel goals and the best destinations for each:
Adventure Seekers: If you love adrenaline-fueled activities, think about visiting destinations like New Zealand, with its bungee jumping, skydiving, and beautiful trails. Peru offers the unforgettable Inca Trail leading up to Machu Picchu. Consider locations with outdoor activities that align with your preferences, whether it’s hiking, scuba diving, or zip-lining.
Beach Lovers: The Caribbean offers unparalleled beaches with crystal-clear waters and white sand. For something more exotic, the islands of the Maldives or Bora Bora provide a luxurious beach escape, while Thailand offers more affordable yet stunning beach experiences with islands like Koh Phi Phi and Phuket.
Cultural Enthusiasts: For cultural immersion, Japan is ideal for its unique blend of ancient and modern culture, especially in Kyoto with its temples and tea ceremonies. Alternatively, Italy offers rich historical sites like the Colosseum, Vatican, and Pompeii, along with immersive cuisine experiences.
2. Create a Detailed Itinerary, but Allow for Flexibility
Crafting an itinerary helps you cover the must-see spots without feeling overwhelmed or rushed. A balanced plan includes a mix of activities and downtime, giving you space to wander or try unexpected adventures. Break down your itinerary by:
Highlighting Must-Sees: Identify the top spots that drew you to the destination. For Paris, this could be the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, and Montmartre. For Iceland, include popular stops like the Blue Lagoon, Reykjavik, and Golden Circle.
Leaving Room for Spontaneity: Sometimes the best experiences are unplanned. Leave free blocks in your schedule for local recommendations, sudden events, or relaxing afternoons. This balance helps prevent burnout and keeps the trip feeling organic and exciting.
3. Find the Perfect Accommodation
Accommodation plays a significant role in your overall Travel recommendations. Here’s how to pick the best options:
Hotels vs. Vacation Rentals: If you’re after luxury amenities and concierge services, a hotel may suit you best. Many offer comfort, convenience, and are often located near tourist areas. On the other hand, vacation rentals like Airbnb provide a more local and sometimes affordable experience, ideal if you plan to stay in a city for a longer time.
Hostels for Solo Travelers: Hostels are budget-friendly and often social hubs for solo travelers. You’ll meet like-minded explorers and gain access to local tours, which can add value to your experience. Research reviews, amenities, and locations when booking.
Unique Accommodations: For a one-of-a-kind experience, consider staying in a treehouse, converted van, yurt, or igloo. In places like Norway or Finland, igloos offer the incredible opportunity to watch the Northern Lights from your bed.
4. Prepare for Different Cultures and Customs
Respecting local cultures can enrich your travel experience and foster positive interactions. Learn a few basic phrases if there’s a language barrier, as this shows effort and respect. Knowing key etiquette points is also essential:
Dress Code: In countries with specific cultural norms around clothing, like India or Saudi Arabia, make sure to research local customs and pack accordingly. For example, when visiting religious sites, you may need to cover your shoulders or wear long skirts or trousers.
Tipping: While tipping is expected in the U.S., it may be viewed differently in countries like Japan or South Korea where tipping can sometimes be seen as rude. Familiarize yourself with these customs beforehand to avoid any misunderstandings.
5. Sample Local Cuisine and Visit Markets
Food is an integral part of cultural experiences. Trying local dishes and ingredients is often a highlight of any trip, as it lets you dive into the culture. Here are tips to make the most of culinary exploration:
Food Markets: Visit local markets for an authentic experience. Barcelona’s La Boqueria offers Spanish tapas, fresh seafood, and colorful produce. Markets like Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar also showcase local foods and spices, allowing you to try flavors unique to the region.
Street Food: Street food is not only delicious but affordable. Many street foods are safe as long as you choose vendors with a high turnover of customers. Bangkok is famous for its street food, from pad Thai to mango sticky rice, while Mexico City serves amazing tacos and tamales.
6. Embrace Responsible Travel Practices
Being mindful of environmental and social impact is increasingly important. Here are a few ways to travel sustainably:
Support Local Businesses: When booking tours or buying souvenirs, opt for local businesses over large chains. This helps support the community and often leads to more unique experiences. Many cities offer “buy local” guides, so check online or ask your accommodation for tips.
Eco-Friendly Transportation: Consider taking public transportation or renting a bike to explore the area. Cities like Amsterdam and Copenhagen are bike-friendly, while many places, such as Japan, have efficient public transit systems that can take you nearly anywhere.
Limit Plastic Use: Bring a reusable water bottle, straw, and utensils if possible. In areas where plastic use is high, like certain parts of Southeast Asia, reducing your plastic footprint makes a real difference.
7. Stay Safe and Informed
Before traveling, make sure you have information about the destination’s safety, health, and legal considerations. Here’s how:
Local Laws and Travel Alerts: Some countries have strict rules around things like public displays of affection, alcohol, or even photographing government buildings. Checking travel advisories from official websites can help you avoid unintentional missteps.
Health and Safety Preparations: Research if vaccinations are required or recommended. Carry a basic first-aid kit and any medications you might need, as they may not be readily available in certain locations.
Insurance: Travel insurance can be a lifesaver, especially when traveling to remote areas or engaging in adventurous activities. Make sure the insurance covers medical needs, lost luggage, and cancellations.
8. Document Your Experience Thoughtfully
Documenting your journey through photos, videos, or a travel journal is a great way to preserve memories. Here are tips to capture your travels in an engaging way:
Photography Tips: Play with angles and lighting to create more interesting photos. Early mornings and late afternoons often provide the best natural light for landscapes and cityscapes. Don’t forget to capture candid moments of local life, food, and friends you make along the way.
Writing About Your Experience: Keeping a travel journal can help you remember small details, like the name of that fantastic café or the tour guide’s story about the city. Journaling also provides a way to reflect on what you’ve learned and how you’ve grown from the experience.
Conclusion
Whether you’re setting out on a world tour or a weekend getaway, these travel recommendations will help you make the most of your trip. Embrace the journey, stay flexible, and keep an open mind. Travel isn’t just about the destination; it’s about creating lasting memories and gaining a new perspective. Safe travels!

Best Villa Maldives: A Trip To Paradise Island
Tumblr media
Images of the Maldives are typically shown as having verdant islands, pristine waters, and luxurious overwater bungalows. Outside of the opulent resorts, though, lies an island nation with a unique and rich history, language, and culture.
As soon as you get onto the docks, you are surrounded by the energizing scent of the ocean. The 26 natural atolls that make up the Maldives each have a lovely island surrounded by palm trees.
 In addition to a variety of attractive hotel options, such as floating resorts and quaint guesthouses, the Maldives is a distinctive holiday location surrounded by lagoons with clear water. 
You are usually brought to the floating check-in reception for the best villa Maldives by a kind, gregarious guide in his mid-20s. Large, pink and white Hyacinth flowers near the entryway create an inviting atmosphere with their very strong and earthy aroma. You've only just began your restful holiday, you know that.
Only a few hours will pass before your villa is ready, the receptionist assures you. Because you were at the villa well before the check-in time, you are certain that it was not their fault. She gives you refreshments with a kind explanation that these were formerly widely traded fruits.
The Maldives were historically a stopping point on the spice trade route linking East Asia and the Arab world. Due to its historical importance as a significant crossroads, this trading center evolved on its own, but with influences from Africa, Arabia, Indonesia,
 Malaysia, Arabia, Sri Lanka, and Indonesia. These influences have been absorbed over time by Maldivians, who have created a distinct cultural identity that is unmatched.
The receptionist states whimsically as she hands you a brochure that one may explore the local handicrafts, historical landmarks, and villages while taking in the tranquility of the Maldives and going to a local spa. You can always leave your baggage at check-in and travel to Alif Alif Atoll, which is 20 minutes away by Dhoni, because the thought of a nearby spa appeals to you.
The Maldivian Dhoni, an ancient multipurpose wooden sailboat with a motor or lateen sails, has improved through time. The Lakudi (Sandalwood), seen above, is a contemporary interpretation of this conventional form with a prow that was expertly constructed. An old wooden boat with a 360 HP Perkins Sabre engine.
Tumblr media
 Our resort's guests have access to exclusive snorkeling excursions, transportation to neighboring atolls, and sunset cruises on this boat voyage. When you get on the Dhoni, the cabin's arboreal odor dispels any uncertainty you have about if it lived up to its name.
A different tranquil retreat is the spa at best villa Maldives. You may select the customary oil massage. The masseuse begins to relieve the neck issues from our long travel here and gone in a short while using her violet leaf oils and deft fingertips. You are sure to drift completely off to sleep.
The environment outside the resort is intriguingly different. The majority-Muslim population of the Maldives is extremely traditional and conservative. The traditional libaa, a long garment embroidered with gold and silver thread, is worn by women,
 while men wear a sarong and a white cotton shirt. Additionally, swimmers on mainland beaches must be completely covered, even while visiting a designated bikini beach at best villa Maldives. 
Selling handicrafts to tourists is a significant source of income for the people. One of the most iconic arts and crafts of the Maldives, lacquer works, have mostly maintained their basic techniques over time. 
In the hand-drawn spinners that were used to manufacture the goods, contemporary dyes have taken the role of conventional coloring paints. Extensive patterns are etched onto the sculpted pieces after they have been coated in layers of lacquer using just simple tools and no predetermined plans.
The tranquil moments just before dusk. The golden orb of the setting sun has descended below the western horizon after a breathtaking display of intense hues, tints, and colors blended with the arresting patterns and silhouettes of the clouds. 
Standing by the ocean, watching the reflection of my issues in the rivers, is a lovely sight to witness. You give yourself over completely to the event at Reethi Faru.

Island Fever in Bermuda
Tumblr media
View from the balcony at the St. Regis Bermuda
Bermuda is a British territory off the coast of North Carolina. It is a very small island with just a few flights a day going to and from its commercial airport.
We chose to visit because 1) I love a relaxing beach getaway and 2) It’s (supposed to be) a a 2-hour direct flight from NYC and 3) We had a lot of Marriott points and were interested in checking out the St. Regis Bermuda. Thanks to flight delays on both ends and the local airport closing down at 4pm (earlier than our flight’s delayed takeoff time!), our weekend turned into a bit of a logistical mess. After all this, our desire to get off the island and get home gave us our very first taste of island fever!
Tumblr media
Waterfront near St. Catherine’s Park by the St. Regis Bermuda
Our takeaways:
Bermuda is a pretty tropical destination. Our experience reminded us of resorts in the Caribbean or the waterfront in Sausalito (in the Bay Area)
It is very, very expensive for what it is. We have paid half as much for nicer stays in places like Hawaii or Laguna Beach, or the same amount for a significantly more luxurious stay in the Maldives
If you run into logistical difficulties -- a delayed or missed flight, the airport shutting down early, etc. -- it can be difficult to get a seat on another flight because there are so few flights each day, and you’ll likely break the bank paying for a mediocre hotel room booked at the last minute
Overall, it’s nice but, in my view, not worth the trouble or expense relative to other vacation destinations
Tumblr media
The waterfront by the Fairmont reminded us of views of Sausalito
We ended up spending 2 nights at the St. Regis, which is a quiet, secluded beachfront property on one end of the island, and 1 night at the Hamilton Princess Fairmont hotel, which is centrally located on the waterfront in the capitol city of Hamilton and walkable to restaurants, etc. The two properties had very different feels -- the St. Regis felt like a peaceful resort that could’ve been anywhere in the world -- good for someone who wants a relaxing beach vacation -- whereas the Fairmont had Vegas vibes and might be more exciting for someone who wants to explore and get a feel for what Bermuda is like. As vegetarians, the food in both areas was okay but not great.

III. Choosing the Perfect Island
When it comes to choosing the perfect island in the Maldives, there are various options to consider, each offering a unique experience. Understanding the different types of islands available, including resort islands, local islands, and private islands, can help you make an informed decision based on your preferences and budget.
Resort islands are the most popular choice for tourists visiting the Maldives. These islands are exclusively developed for tourism, offering luxurious accommodations, world-class amenities, and a wide range of recreational activities. With pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters, and stunning coral reefs, resort islands provide an idyllic tropical getaway. They often feature multiple restaurants, spas, water sports facilities, and entertainment options. However, keep in mind that staying on a resort island can be quite expensive, especially at high-end luxury resorts.
On the other hand, local islands offer a more authentic and affordable experience. These islands are inhabited by local Maldivian communities, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the local culture and way of life. Accommodation options on local islands include guesthouses and small hotels, which are typically more budget-friendly compared to resorts. While the facilities and amenities may be simpler, local islands offer a chance to interact with locals, explore local markets, and engage in community-based activities. It's worth noting that alcohol may not be readily available on local islands due to religious and cultural considerations.
Private islands provide the ultimate exclusive and secluded experience. These islands are typically owned by individuals, resorts, or luxury hotel chains, offering complete privacy and personalized services. Private islands often feature lavish villas or bungalows, private beaches, and exclusive amenities such as private pools and personal butlers. While staying on a private island can be a luxurious and unforgettable experience, it comes with a higher price tag.
When selecting the ideal island, consider your preferences and budget. If you desire luxury, relaxation, and a wide range of amenities, a resort island would be the best choice. If you prefer a more budget-friendly and immersive experience, opt for a local island. For those seeking privacy, exclusivity, and personalized services, a private island would be the perfect fit.
To make an informed decision, research online guides and reports from fellow travelers. Read reviews and recommendations to get a better understanding of each island's unique features and offerings. Consider factors such as accessibility, activities, dining options, and special packages or promotions. Finally, determine your budget and prioritize your preferences to find the perfect island that meets your needs and ensures an unforgettable Maldivian vacation.

Snorkeling enthusiasts will be thrilled to discover vibrant coral reefs teeming with marine life near the sandbank. Remember to bring your snorkeling gear for an unforgettable underwater adventure.
To make the most of your sandbank experience, it is essential to choose the best time to visit. The Maldives enjoys a tropical climate, characterized by two distinct seasons: the dry season (from November to April) and the wet season (from May to October). The dry season offers the most favorable weather conditions, with minimal rainfall and abundant sunshine. This period, especially between December and March, is ideal for visiting sandbanks, as the clear skies and calm seas enhance the beauty of these natural wonders.
While enjoying the sandbanks, it is crucial to respect and protect the fragile ecosystems that exist within them. These delicate environments contribute to the overall ecological balance of the Maldives. Avoid stepping on or damaging corals and refrain from leaving any trash behind. By practicing responsible tourism, we can ensure the preservation of these pristine sandbanks for future generations to appreciate.
In conclusion, the Maldives' captivating sandbanks, such as Baros Sandbank and Gulhi Sandbank, offer an unforgettable experience for sunbathers and nature enthusiasts. Plan your visit during the dry season to enjoy the best weather conditions and take the opportunity to explore the mesmerizing underwater world surrounding these sandbanks. Remember to treat these fragile ecosystems with care and respect, leaving only footprints behind. Embark on this journey to the Maldives' sandbanks and immerse yourself in the natural wonders that await.

NCT DREAM AS TYPES OF GROOMS ♡
before, during and after the wedding
Tumblr media
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, NCT DREAM! ♡
- gender neutral
- on crack, what’d u expect from this account lmao XD
- the picture qualities are Jurassic negative HD 0.4K but they still look good because dem visuals infinity/10
DISCLAIMER: Considering that not everyone has the same religion and wedding traditions, just imagine that this is for y’all own culture & religion’s weddings. Also, these men will be down to marry you a thousand times in one lifetime so.... conducting a ceremony again is no problem (that equates to more honeymoons and we love honeymoons).
♡ MARK
The “I do this for my squad, I do this for my gang” Groom
Tumblr media
⊰⊹ BEFORE: The type to inform family and friends a year before the actual wedding (he says it's an adult thing). You and Mark will have everything ready as early as possible so y'all can just chill as the date draws near. Will also be loud about it but not in an intentional way, he’s just neomu excited.
⊰⊹ DURING: Dude will throw finger guns to the guests *ehem* Johnny & Yuta *ehem* while he’s literally right next to the priest. He will also shed a few tears and laugh at himself for crying as he sees you walking down the aisle. Will never forget to thank God for blessing him with you ♡
⊰⊹ AFTER: Mark will dance with you in different genres (except there’s no twerking and grinding because you gotta leave space for Jesus). After the big reception, there will be a smaller reception at home with just you, him and yall parents before the actual honeymoon. He will do everything you like once you two are alone tho ;)
♡ RENJUN
The “You’ll remember this as the wedding of the century” Groom
Tumblr media
⊰⊹ BEFORE: Renjun's the type to write the most touching and heartfelt vow that will make you both cry and then add some savage twist at the end which will make everyone laugh (flashback to Haechan's birthday vlive). He will also make sure that everything--from the theme to the background music--is aesthetic af.
⊰⊹ DURING: Mans will 100% cry as he pictures you and him spending your entire lives together once he sees you walk down that aisle. Also, he is genuinely crying happy tears but will wipe them dramatically while he’s being filmed by your wedding videographer for ✧ remembrance and effect ✧
⊰⊹ AFTER: “Renjun, why is the temptation of wife OST playing in the background?”
He will sing close to your ear and give you a peck on the lips once in a while while everyone's busy partying. You two will greet the guests for a short while and then escape in a private plane to an island getaway for your honeymoon… it will take off in front of everyone because... ✧ art ✧ Also, get ready for the most romantic love making in Maldives ;)
♡ JENO
The “You thought it’d be no jam but it was actually the best wedding” Groom
Tumblr media
⊰⊹ BEFORE: Lets you take charge of planning, but when he suggests his ideas it’s so top notch that you’ll be all “why aren’t you saying more?” and it’s because he believes that the wedding is not as important as the person he is marrying (opposite to Jaemin: Jeno thinks you’ll be happier if he just lets you do whatever you want--as an act of letting you have freedom in your creativity). He’ll be super helpful if you need it tho so no worries.
⊰⊹ DURING: Will accidentally open your veil before the person in charge says “you may now kiss the bride/groom.” He doesn’t care about the cameras, all he sees is you, you and you. Jeno won't cry in the actual event but he will be teary eyed af for sure (he's saving the tears for when you guys are alone).
⊰⊹ AFTER: He will take all his chances to carry you and hold you in his arms all night long. Jeno’s signature eye smile will be plastered on his face all night. That innocent face also prepared a bed of roses and other surprises in your room ready for the honeymoon ;)
♡ HAECHAN
The “We’re not going home until someone blacks out” Groom
Tumblr media
⊰⊹ BEFORE: Haechan will pull a prank on you before the wedding so that you’ll coming running to him and he’ll see you (he can’t take the “you can’t see each other the night before the wedding” tradition because he misses you already). He will even make the vow writing a group activity lmao: “Whatchu writing?” “Haechan, stop looking! This is supposed to be a surprise.”
⊰⊹ DURING: He will tell everyone “I’m not gonna cry, that’s sus” but will definitely cry while laughing and get laughed at by family and friends lightheartedly. Haechan will say the funniest vows out of everyone but will also make you emotional because he can switch from being humorous to serious in 0.00001 second.
⊰⊹ AFTER: Reception is real party vibes; it’s not over until it’s game over. He might get bored eventually so you too will sneak out laughing in your wedding attires and just chill around the hotel’s swimming pools. He might also push you into a pool so he can save you and bathe you afterwards ;)
♡ JAEMIN
The “I’ve been dreaming of this my whole life” Groom
Tumblr media
⊰⊹ BEFORE: He’ll make the wedding planner question their entire existence (opposite to Jeno: Jaemin thinks you’ll be happier if he plans the wedding for you--as an act of service). He’ll be super open to your suggestions though and will immediately change up anything you don’t agree with so no worries.
⊰⊹ DURING: Jaemin will also give one of the funniest vows but it's because he's unintentionally funny in his speech delivery. He will say the sweetest and uplifting words, refraining from being too emotional because he doesn't want to see you cry... but you still do. Dude might do mild aegyo in front of everyone just to see you smile again (you know the finger on pouty lips one that he does with Renjun? Yep, that one).
⊰⊹ AFTER: He will drag you somewhere when everyone’s busy partying just so he can give you a kissth. He’s down to party with your family and friends but only if you’re always by his side. And he definitely won't care if the party's over or not--once he sees that you’re tired or want to be alone with him, he'll announce to everyone that you guys are gonna bounce… and bounce you shall ;)
♡ CHENLE
The “We can afford a Kardashian wedding but I’d rather keep it simple” Groom
Tumblr media
⊰⊹ BEFORE: Boi WILL 100% invite his bestie Stephen Curry. There will be three weddings: one for the grand wedding (at an arena for all of Shanghai to see--he doesn’t like this one but gotta keep those investors in check, you know?). Another for a small circle wedding (just family and friends). The last will be the “just the two of us casually exchanging chips and diamond rings while playing pubg” wedding
⊰⊹ DURING: Daddy Chenle will never forget to mention his son Mark in his vows and speeches. His whole clan will shower you with gifts and affection so much that he doesn’t know if he should be happy or annoyed because they’re not giving you two enough time to spend YOUR wedding together. He’s staying put though because hakuna matata #the scorpio side jumped out
⊰⊹ AFTER: No one else is allowed to touch you except for him. He will carry you bridal style away from the building and to his car so he can have you all to himself. He’ll definitely cry happy tears when it's just the two of you.
♡ JISUNG
The “We really should’ve married in secret instead” Groom
Tumblr media
⊰⊹ BEFORE: Will let you take control of the event but will pitch in his creative ideas here and there. Jisung insists that you have a small wedding but the number of NCT members is far from small lol. There's also a high chance of a beach wedding because he loves the open area (gives him more space to breathe plus he’ll see Haechan and Renjun trying to drown each other in the distance and that’s free entertainment).
⊰⊹ DURING: Dude will 100% get clowned by the NCT members while saying his vows (honorable mention: dreamies). He might rap some of his words out of nervousness (which everyone finds cute because it is). He will be all shy and awkward at first and then surprise everyone by his sudden bold moves (e.g. dip you as he kisses you, say the sweetest things). He will also cry happy tears as he sees you walk down that aisle.
⊰⊹ AFTER: He's truly grateful for all the support and love of everyone who attended but as an introvert and an Aquarius Plus Pro Max, he’ll be wishing on the inside that everyone just goes home already so you two can have fun alone. Mans will still get clowned by the members even during the reception but he doesn’t mind because he’s clowning them back now. His hand will be glued to your waist all night and he will sneak in a few kisses here and there.
♡ OT7:
- Everyone will get clowned by the other members regardless of the event so a wedding isn’t an exception. So either you protect your husband or join in on the light teasing... or both. 
- You may also get clowned. It’s NCT we’re talking about.
- This is a work of fiction. Except the clownery & RenHyuck drowning each other in Jisung’s wedding. That’s true to life.
Happy Anniversary to our Dreamies >u< we love you guys sm!

The Pedro Boys on Vacation HC
I have like 7-8 WIPs right now can I can't focus on anything, so what do I decide to do? Head canon about my favourite boys on vacay of course. Send me messages! I'd love to know what you agree with any ideas you might have!
Javier Peña
Javi is usually stressed and hyper focused on work (or working through his frustrations with sex) but on vacation - he is the picture of relaxation. At first he’s hesitant, saying he can’t afford to take the time off that he should be working but once you finally get him to commit to a whole week he really let’s go. He doesn't care where you go - as long as there's a beach. He loves seeing you half dressed the whole time, he loves seeing your skin shiny with tanning oil and he loves being in the water with you. His ultimate favourite though, is the nap you both take after - when you’re tired from the sun and you’re just a little pink. Waking up all snuggled together. He doesn’t want to leave the bed half the time.
Jack ‘Whiskey’ Daniels
Whiskey is excited as all get out but the only way he’ll go is if you agree to a cruise. He doesn’t want to lounge around, he wants to see as many places as he can. He wants to take dancing lessons with you- do all the touristy things with you. He wants to be able to cram 4 vacations into 1. Up at the crack of dawn and busy busy busy all day until you both tumble into bed. He’s itching to explore, to take in all the sights with you and to be able to say he’s fucked you all over. He’s the tornado and he’s taking you along with him.
Din Djarin (I’m imagining you��re his riduur)
Din likes margaritas and no one can tell me otherwise. Obviously the creed poses problems but when you managed to find a completely private island? It’s game on. He's never been so relaxed and he enjoys the freedom of having the helmet off without the risk of someone seeing him. He’s happy to feel the sun on his face, and happy to be able to kiss you at any time he pleases. The days are spent wrapped up in each other, fucking and swimming and relaxing, and the nights are spent cuddling up in front of a fire with drinks.
Frankie Morales
Frankie is an outdoorsy guy, he’s taking you camping for sure. He’s got top of the line camping gear - a blow up mattress for the tent, a two-person sleeping bag because there’s no fucking way you aren’t sharing. He’s also an early riser and by the time you’re up he’s got coffee made and breakfast cooking. He loves hanging out in front of the fire and if he’s honest, he’s just looking to fuck you up against a tree. Outdoorsy.
Marcus Pike
Marcus JUMPS at the idea of a vacation. You casually mention that it would be nice to get away and 15 minutes later he’s requesting time off and on the laptop looking for all inclusive packages. The thought of a whole week for the two of you to be secluded somewhere is exciting for him and he runs with it. You don’t care where you go, but he wants something romantic. He’s the week in Paris or the Mediterranean type of guy. Fancy dinners, sex in a swanky hotel, long walks & brunches at cafes.
Dave (murder dad) York
Dave is a multi-tasker. Dave is booking a trip and you’re coming (as cover) and don’t worry about it honey it’s all taken care of. There might be a meeting he has to attend but it’ll only take an hour or so. Once that’s done you can sight-see all you want. It’s weird that it always seems to be near the embassy but obviously he needs to be close… for work.
Marcus Moreno
Marcus hasn’t vacationed in years. What with the heroics and with what happened to the love of his life and dealing with being a single dad- but now that you’re together and things are getting serious he’s excited. At first you suggest Disney world so you can bring Missy but he shyly says he wants it to just be the two of you the first time. He wants all inclusive, he wants a resort, he wants a swim-up bar and he wants you to himself. He wants to fuck you on a balcony in Hawaii and he wants you to make as much noise as you can because finally you’re alone.
Max Phillips
Max is hesitant at first with work, but once you express your plan of sunbathing naked he books a one week vacation in Bali, or the Maldives (he’s the type of vampire that can be out in the sun and I will die on this hill) where you can tan naked all you want baby. He dishes out the money and you feel rich for the week. You spend the week getting toasty, tanned and sexed out. Maybe you come back with a love bite or ten.
Dio (because I LOVE him 😩)
Dio, the goth king. I have a soft spot for him. I know I know he killed a guy on the show or whatever but listen, he’s taking you to Germany because he wants to go to Berghain. It’s exclusive, it’s mysterious, and there’s a strict dress code. That’s the goal and that’s where you’re going.
