The hotel

Spread across three stunning islands in South Male Atoll, with gorgeous white beaches and sea views as far as the eye can see, this resort is a Maldivian paradise. Guests can enjoy crystal clear infinity pools, a range of delicious dining options, and water sports in the lagoon. Take relaxation to the next level, by indulging in a spa treatment at one of 22 over-water pavilions, before watching the sunset with a cocktail in hand. Children are catered for, with dedicated play areas, a kids club, and a teen hangout area. And there’s no need for a seaplane, as this resort is 45 minutes from the airport by speedboat – what a way to arrive!
