When you stay at the Hilton Maldives/Iru Fushi Resort & Spa, Beach House Maldives A Waldorf Astoria Resort or Conrad Maldives Rangali Island, you start getting amenities even before you arrive at the hotel. The perks actually start rolling in when you step off of the plane.

The best of which is the complimentary shoulder massages, which are probably much-needed after that long, cramped international flight.

Nemo, which looks like a clown fish with its orange and white stripes, is driven by a trained pilot to take two passengers on a 30-minute ride to see the resort's coral reef. Thanks to the three acrylic glass pods that stick out on top of Nemo, guests can get 360-degree views of the underwater world without getting wet.
