Maybe you can afford the Maldives after all? Get two-thirds off your stay in a villa like this at the brand new Alila Villas Hadahaa.
Have you been drooling over Wanwisa's Dream Trip dispatches from the Indian Ocean, wondering how on earth you can afford a Maldives getaway? The solution might be Alila Villas Hadahaa, a brand-new environmentally friendly resort there. Lindsey Wallace, the Maldives expert on Wendy's list of top travel specialists--as well as the genius who planned Wanwisa's trip and whose Maldives recommendations we covered in the "Islands on Sale" feature in our July issue--has checked it out and says that it's one of his new favorites. 
Luxury like this doesn't come cheap: An "Island Villa" (the least expensive room category, pictured above) normally costs $1,183 per night. But Lindsey has negotiated a special rate with the resort: $790 per night, including all taxes and service charges, with every other night free. If you stay an even number of nights, you end up paying an average of $395 per night--which is more than 65% off the rack rate of $1,183.
For travel between: August 16 (the resort's opening date) and December 19, 2009.
Book by: There is no book-by date.
Book through: Lindsey Wallace of Linara Travel, the only person who can get you this specially negotiated rate.
Caveat: You'll also need to pay for transfers to and from the resort. These start at $280 per person.
