...Maldivians - who pride themselves on thousands of years of unique history at the hub of Indian Ocean sea routes - want to leave, and Nasheed knows the sovereign fund is a last resort. Efforts now aim at shaping the country into a climate-change laboratory. In mid-March, the government announced its intention to be the world's first carbon-neutral nation within 10 years.

Ice clinks in tumblers and corks pop while the conversation - an amalgam of English and Urdu that is the mark of Pakistan's élite - flows from meditation techniques to a heated debate over a U.S. politician's warning that Pakistan is on the brink of collapse.

It's a full-service resort, with golfing, sailing and fishing. But it's located on it's own 70-acre island. Should you get lucky and snag a fish in that lake, the hotel's chef will filet it and put it on ice for you to take home at the end of your trip. Rates start at $159 per night, with your third night free (that offer...
Tucson, Arizona. In Arizona's Sonoran desert, at the foot of the Santa Catalina mountains, is the 80-acre Westward Look Resort.

Through May, rates start at $199 per night, including breakfast. But if you can stand the blistering heat, check out the resort in summer, when rates dip to $89, including breakfast. 245 East Ina Road, Tucson...
