Russian landing in the Maldives: how the stars spend their holidays. Where Russian celebrities like to relax

On those the May holidays Russian stars, as if by agreement, went to bask in the Maldives. Ksenia Sobchak, Yana Rudkovskaya, Jasmine, the Yudashkin family, Anastasia Volochkova and other celebrities have already “divided” exotic islands among themselves.

If earlier the most fashionable vacation spot for the rich and famous in May was Los Angeles and Miami, now everything has changed - the stars flew in unison to bask in the Maldives. And if the outrageous ballerina Anastasia Volochkova flies there so often that it’s time for her to think about her own real estate on one of the islands, then TV personality Ksenia Sobchak fell in love with heavenly place just last winter. But now the husband of the country's most popular blonde - actor Maxim Vitorgan - is exploring the Indian Ocean, which overlooks the picturesque terrace of the star couple's villa.

Ksenia herself at this time, as a rule, does yoga, rereads the classics or, at worst, uploads photos to Instagram. It is noteworthy that the mother of the star - ex-senator Lyudmila Narusova - also joined the couple this time.

In a dangerous neighborhood from Ksenia Sobchak, the "honorary star of the Maldives" Anastasia Volochkova is resting with her family. The artist still refuses to buy a full bathing suit for her 8-year-old daughter Ariadne, so the girl poses in her mother's photographs in swimming trunks, which sincerely surprises Volochkova's fans. However, in addition to mother and daughter, someone else accompanies the star on the journey (judging by the photographs) - most likely, this is her beloved Bakhtiyar Salimov. The artist is in a great mood and extremely ironically comments on the situation around:

“Some kind of interrogation was supposed to take place, such as organized by a trinity of ignoramuses who are trying to make discord between the artists of Russia and Ukraine .. and trying in every possible way to annoy me ... So. I am in the Maldives. Silence and harmony. No one called anywhere ... True, my loved ones interrogate me in the morning !!!?: “Am I happy ?!” Answer: YES!!! And I interrogate my lawyer A. Dobrovinsky: “How is Thailand? ..” He says super!” (author's spelling and punctuation preserved, - note ..

On one of the private islands, Marina and Galina Yudashkins are resting, the girls are escorted. The girl is absolutely happy - in her free time she swims in the pool, photographs picturesque views and actively goes in for sports in the company of her mother and singer Jasmine, who, by the way, also chose the Maldives for her vacation. Often, Marina, Galina and Jasmine can be seen at a joint dinner in one of the popular local restaurants.

Recently ended new year holidays many Russian celebrities spent abroad. HELLO.RU presents the most popular places recreation of domestic stars.

When it comes to bliss and "sweet doing nothing", the Maldives has no equal. The first thing you see when you wake up is the beach, a couple of palm trees and endless expanse indian ocean. You close your eyes, open your eyes - again the same thing! The combination of azure water, snow-white sand and complete serenity - is this not a recipe for happiness?

The Maldives are divided into real - where the locals live, and fabulous - with hotels for tourists. When choosing their Maldivian fairy tale, everyone looks not only at the size and comfort of the villa, but also at how close another fabulous dimension is - the underwater world of the Maldives. Turtles, starfish, "sea cucumbers", clown fish and parrot fish - if the coral reef is not far from the hotel, then even a novice "diver" will get to know them all closely. But in some hotels they go beyond simply admiring the beauty - and arrange real laboratories where everyone, even newlyweds, can feel a bit like a biologist, studying the habits of starfish and participating in reef cleaning.

The island where Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru is located is just a 25-minute speedboat ride from international airport Male. This is an important advantage for the Maldives: you can do without another (and expensive) seaplane flight, and half an hour after landing in the capital of the Maldives, you can already enjoy a welcome cocktail at the resort.

From the doors of a small but cozy villa in the style of French colonialism to the edge of the waves, only twenty steps along the dazzling white sand. There are three steps to the private pool and jacuzzi, which are in each villa.

The island is small and seems uninhabited, because you can only understand that you are not alone here by going to a restaurant for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Although guests utterly exhausted by society can order a meal right at their villa.

But the main indisputable advantage of the Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru hotel is a coral reef of incredible beauty just five minutes from the shore. Even for the first time in your life, putting on a mask and going into the water up to your waist, you can already see flocks of colorful fish and fish. And in many hotels - even very good ones - you have to go to the reef by boat for some money. In Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru masks, snorkels, fins, life jackets are issued for the entire stay, and you can feel like the mistress of the sea at any second, and with an instructor - even at night!

A diver guide, a native of the Maldives, says that huge sluggish black leeches, "sea cucumbers", do not just lie down, but do an important job - they clean the sand, passing it through the intestines along with the mollusks: "This snow-white beautiful sand is everything what they pooped!". But then two huge turtles approach us from the depths, as if dancing around something. Something turns out to be a huge jellyfish, which the turtles chew with appetite: "They love jellyfish very much, it's like a dessert for them." And indeed, the purple jellyfish looks like a cake with roses. To console the sensitive, the guide adds: "Medusa sometimes dies, but she doesn't hurt, she doesn't feel anything!"

Every evening, stingrays are fed at the hotel pier, while talking about how these relatives of sharks work, and even how to distinguish a female from a male. And there is also a full-fledged marine laboratory Marine Lab, and twice a week each hotel guest can take part in planting corals, and once a week - in the "cleaning" of the coral reef.

It turns out that among the coral inhabitants, despite their incredible beauty, there are also pests - some types of starfish. Instructors and their volunteers swim along the reef with a plastic box, diving and ripping off predatory stars from the corals, after which they bury the villainous fauna on the beach. With huge purple jellyfish thrown ashore, they do the same.

The Marine Lab team has been involved in reef inspection and restoration for many years and has made a tangible contribution to the preservation of the fragile ecological balance in the Maldives. Recently, experts have been invited to conduct a seminar for government departments so that they, in turn, can implement similar programs on a national scale.

The Banyan Tree Network is generally serious about conservation. unique nature the places where its hotels are located. On Vabbinfaru, for example, in addition to the marine laboratory, in the center of the island in a small greenhouse there is also an organic garden - real summer cottages, only under equatorial palm trees! Lettuce, greens, tomatoes - such ordinary vegetables in such an unusual place.

Wedding in the Maldives - or just romance: champagne sailing, dinner at sunset

Dinner service in different places unforgettable beauty- this, one might say, is the national fun of the Maldives. Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru has several options for an unforgettable evening. The most romantic is sailing at sunset. On a boat - just you and the wind! Well, helpful sailors who handle the sails as skillfully as pouring champagne into your glasses.

A more thorough option is dinner in a tent on the pier by the water. Here, romance is accompanied by a large selection of dishes that will be offered to be ordered the day before, and nothing for unlimited time. Only a million crabs, frozen with envy under a lantern at the edge of the ocean, will keep you company.

Another popular evening entertainment is fishing, because you will not catch such fish anywhere else! On our "fishing boat" a very motley company left, including young parents with babies. I must say that the children did not sleep to the sound of the waves - and fishing did not captivate them at all, but I would like to hope that the parents still got their share of pleasant memories.

The rest quickly joined in the process. The team is already fully armed: the tackle is ready, the bait - squids the size of our decent catch near Moscow - the sailors are planting themselves. Your business is only to reel off the fishing line and mutter "catch a fish, big and small." Not everyone was caught, but for the sake of one very upset fisherwoman, the crew, in a gentlemanly way, slightly delayed the departure. And she finally got lucky! The entire catch is neatly signed so that you, like Robinson Crusoe, can almost desert island dine with personally caught fish.

Banyan Tree was originally famous as a spa brand, the company even has its own academy in Phuket to train spa therapists. Several villas at the hotel have an outdoor massage pavilion and unlimited treatments per day.

By the way, Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru has developed a special program for mothers and grown-up daughters, which includes joint spa rituals, yoga master classes and a culinary master class - the chef will teach you how to cook Creole cuisine.

And in the evening they will invite you to look at the stars and talk about the constellations that are scattered across the sky over the Maldives. And this is not superfluous at all - after all, even the stars over the Maldives are different.

Maldives is one of the most expensive tourist destinations. The composition of the islands includes one thousand two hundred islands southwest of Sri Lanka and India, only a sixth of them are inhabited. The tourism business began to develop on the islands only about thirty years ago, but every year thousands of tourists from all over the world buy last-minute tours to the Maldives and enjoy their holidays at seventy-four resorts in the Maldives. It is best to relax in November - April, when the weather is dry and sunny, and the sea is calm.

Here you can relax from the paparazzi and the stellar fuss, and therefore the resort is very popular with celebrities.

The islands are also popular with newlyweds who want to spend their holidays here. Honeymoon, as once in 2006 the star couple of actors: Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. Their relationship was very beautiful and romantic. Tom Cruise made an offer to his chosen one at the very top eiffel tower in Paris. A year later, they got married in a 15th century castle in romantic Italy, and spent their honeymoon on Maldives. But, alas. Their relationship worsened every day. Even daughter Suri, who appeared before their marriage and was the most influential child of star couples, could not stop the divorce of her parents. Katie Holmes filed for divorce last year, for this she turned to her father, a well-known lawyer, for help. The reason for the divorce is indicated by the failures of the actress against the backdrop of her husband's successful career.

It seemed to the wife that she began to fade in the shadow of her handsome husband. She is annoyed by the fact that he is only remembered as the wife of a Hollywood star. Unpleasant for Katie and the need to follow her husband to all the places of his filming. Of course, her husband's successful career could not but cause her resentment. There are also rumors that Katie fears that Tom will be able to drag their daughter into a religious organization to which he belongs. For Katie Holmes, marriage to Tom Cruise is the first experience of family life; for her husband, this is the third official marriage. In the event of a divorce, the spouse will receive three million dollars for each year she is married to Cruz. As for their daughter, Kathy wants sole custody of her daughter. Tom Cruise is saddened: this is the gift he received on his fiftieth birthday. Let your holiday in the Maldives be the beginning of a new, happy life for you that will last a long time!
