So you want tropical paradise and a winter wonderland at one go; who do you think you are? Well, no one will ever snub you again because you can have exactly that in this resort in Maldives.

In the winter months, it seems almost biological to want something to do with snow, ice or cold weather. However, Maldives is... well, Maldives.

In an experience unlike any other, guests visiting Jumeirah Vittaveli will have the chance to take a dip in the warm waters of the Indian Ocean, then step off the white sandy beaches and into a pair of skates to glide over the resort’s glistening ice skating rink. Launching in the next coming weeks, the ice rink adds a little more magic to this already enchanting season.

The ice rink is being built in association with Glice, a company specialised in building indoor and outdoor ice rinks. 

How much is this going to cost the environment and our fuel resources? Not much at all, as Glice uses artifical ice plates for their rinks and unlike a conventional skating rink, this rink will function entirely without water and at a zero-energy level.
