- + Privacy seekers - the Owner Villa on its own islet is unmatched in the Maldives
- + Guests who value a Guerlain spa over an infinity pool scene

- · Travellers who want a busy social scene - Cheval Blanc is deliberately quiet
- · Divers prioritising a world-class house reef - the reef is decent, not destination-defining
