Kuda Huraas, Four Seasons Resort, Maldives 2007
Instead of using steps and unappealing stainless rails to enter the pool, the brilliant designers of this F.S. resort use a gentle slop with granite tiles. Not only it is picturesque, but also it makes a perfect children’s pool. This is a huge pool and it comes with a bar sitting in the middle. Yes, it takes a little extra time to get to the deep water. But who would care if you are on a relaxing honeymoon trip on a small tropical island that is no larger than a shopping mall.
I took this during our honeymoon in 2007. This resort was one of the oldest in the Malé Atoll. It was rebuilt in 2004 after the tsunami damage from the major Southeast Asia earthquake. In Maldives, the resort is usually named after the island and a single resort usually occupies the entire island. We spent two nights here in the beach bungalow and we absolutely love this place for its contemporary design and themed restaurants.

On December 23, 2004, archaeologists identified what they say is the remains of the Siloam Pool in which Jesus healed a man who had been blind from birth (John 9). In John’s account, Jesus anointed the eyes of the blind man with clay and then told him: “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (v. 7). The Bible records that after the man complied with Jesus’ instructions, his blindness was cured.
Archaeologist Eli Shukron observed: “The moment revealed and discovered four months ago, we were 100 percent sure it was the Siloam Pool” (“Archaeologists...,” 2004). In fact, archaeologists discovered that water still flows through what was once considered a pristine pool used by the Jews for ritual immersions for purification.
Israeli government’s Antiquities Authority are sure they have found the Siloam Pool? In addition to its location, they also discovered biblical-era coins marked with Jewish writing, pieces of pottery, and even a stone-bottle cork. Roni Reich of Haifa University—one of the excavation leaders—noted: “We have excavated it and dated it very accurately with coins found in the cement which the pool was built of ” (as quoted in Tostevin, 2004). The earliest coins to be found dated from the middle of the century before the birth of Jesus.
