The Resort: Zermatt (Switzerland).  This world class summer and winter resort has so much tradition and heritage as well as a magnificent very near neighbour; the spectacular Matterhorn Mountain which overlooks the entire region.  Everything is here with a combination of a great selection of restaurants, bars, coffee shops and other interesting diversions, plus shops and boutiques which offer high fashion alongside jewellery and endless brands of watches.  In contrast, there are many ancient farm buildings tucked away where livestock still live during the winter months.  The heliport provid

How did you first get into sailing and where?

The Maldives has always enjoyed the reputation of being home to the most beautiful dream islands in the world and one of the top diving destinations for any underwater enthusiast. IX Magazine decided to fly out with Etihad Airways to Male, and the local seaplane company Trans Maldivian Airways to Kuredu and spend a couple of weeks exploring this hypnagogic destination.

In the Indian Ocean to the north of Male, is the Lhaviyani Atoll, and there you will find Kuredu, one of the larger islands in the Maldives. Kuredu has something for everyone: diving, water sports, a golf course, a football pitch, gym, beautifully fresh and delicious food, great bars and a wonderful spa.
