1. Many people dream of relocating to a tropical island, but few make it happen.

2. Canadian restaurateur Neal Van Beers and his partner, Charmaine Sanchez, made their dream a reality — that is, by spending $30,000 to stay at a luxury resort in the Maldives for up to a year.

3. The couple swapped snowy British Columbia for the Maldives in December by purchasing the Anantara Veli resort's "Unlimited Stays in Paradise" package. 

4. The $30,000 package allows two people to stay "as often as you please" in one of the resort's luxury overwater bungalows until December 23, 2021. It includes daily breakfast, transportation, and discounts on dining and the spa.

5. Van Beers has been able to work remotely from the Maldives, though he says the only downside is that Canada is 12 hours behind. 

6. Van Beers starts his day with a coffee, then he settles into his workspace: a desk next to an ocean-view window. He then checks emails and does some admin before heading to breakfast.

7. The couple spends the rest of the day exploring the island and taking part in outdoor activities, including snorkeling, scuba diving, and swimming. They also pass the time by reading and taking cooking classes. By dinner time, Canada has woken up, so Van Beers would reply to more emails or take a meeting.

8. The Maldives is among many countries that offer various remote-working schemes. Travelers can enter the country on a 30-day visa, which can be extended to 90 days, which Van Beers and his partner have done.

9. Van Beers said that although he's been having a great time, he has missed some of the comforts of working in an office. He said the resort has provided printing services and a stable WiFi connection, though.
