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!

This was a family visit as a birthday celebration and what a fabulous treat the whole holiday has been. The location and hotel, really is slice of paradise ! The staff attend to your every whim and can’t do enough for you and with a sea of smiling and friendly faces. We took a destination dining experience for dinner served on the beach and - wow - it was a spectacular event. Special thanks to Viyola who patiently organised all the arrangements with full attention to all the fine detail. Thank you Sonet for being the perfect waiter and making it relaxed and fun. Thank you Shawn for organising the birthday cake. We had land and water villas and both are absolutely perfect. If Jashim is cleaning the room - watch out for his “towel origami“ ! 10 out 10 feedback for the Heath Spa too !! Read less
