Picture clear blue waters. The soft sheen of spotless white sand. Endless expanse of space. It can only be the Maldives.
Often touted as a paradise on Earth, there is little here that can interrupt your rest. Time comes to a standstill, as one gazes upon the azure hues that line the horizon. Even more so, at the Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Landaa Giraavaru, set within the Baa Atoll Unesco Biosphere Reserve. Here, an adventure of your choosing awaits.
Some might choose to spend the day at the iconic Blu Beach Club, drifting between its sun-soaked decks and the resort’s mile-long sandspit, or exploring vibrant marine life and snorkelling amid protected reefs. Others may find themselves drawn to AyurMa, the resort’s acclaimed wellness haven, where ancient Ayurvedic wisdom, yoga therapy and modern diagnostics guide deeply personalised journeys of renewal.
For a select few, however, your island life might look something like this: a staggering wardrobe of your dreams and a dedicated camera team, who will be training their lens on you for the better half of the day. Your very own Vogue Singapore cover moment.
And the aforementioned experience is much closer than you might think. For the past three years, Standard Chartered Bank has been delighting their clientele with glittering rewards that pack a punch—like last year’s impressive ride on wheels: the swanky, all-electric Porsche Taycan.
In 2026 however, they’re upping the ante, and it’s right in line with the zeitgeist’s preference for splurging on experiences. You only live once, as they say.
This year’s ‘Million Reasons to be Happier’ campaign is the full works. Imagine jet-setting off on a private jet to the pristine islands, indulging in a sprawling three-day, two-night stay at the Four-bedroom Landaa Estate at the Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Landaa Giraavaru—the biggest on the island—and losing yourself to your magnificent surroundings. To top it all off: a full makeover and professional photoshoot (the Vogue way) awaits. And don’t worry: we’ll make sure you get your money shot. After all, can you really say you’ve been to the Maldives if you didn’t post about it?
It’s memory-making at its finest. When else will you get treated to a bespoke fashion makeover on-site at a stunning villa in the Maldives, with a dedicated photoshoot to boot? For the two lucky winners, it’s certain paradise for sure.
As if it couldn’t get any better, Standard Chartered Bank is making it easy for you to jump in on the action. It’s as simple as one, two, three: register via SC Mobile, bank and spend.
Between cards, loans, deposits and digital banking via SC Mobile, there’s something for everyone. All you need is a Standard Chartered Credit Card or deposit account. So what are you waiting for? You have now till 28 February 2026 to secure yourself a chance at this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Life’s too short to be counting it all—for there are, indeed, a million reasons to be happier. One of them just happens to be an unforgettable escape to the Maldives.
