Each villa offers a spacious outdoor living area with an infinity pool, a gazebo ideal for alfresco dining and a swing day bed for relaxation. The horizontal architecture layout of the villa ensures spectacular view of the azure waters. The villa amenities include a selection of tea, nespresso café, mini bar and in-room IPad control. A luxurious and modern bathroom with walk-in closets, double vanity, indoor and outdoor shower and a deep soak oval tub.

Every aspect was absolutely amazing, from the service to the whole experience itself, all well considered and worth the money. All of the staff members were extremely genuine and considerate of visitor’s comfort and the breakfast had a great variety with delicious pastries. The experience of riding bikes across the island and swimming in the private pool (which was beautiful, right outside was the ocean) is a memory we will never forget. Just like a dream. Overall, would come again!

    Resort is well kept and its location is perfect as it is close to Male, only a 20 minute speedboat ride (arranged by the resort) however the resort is showing its age. Breakfast and dinner buffet was awesome, nice variety of foods. Beach is beautiful, there is a coral reef (Coral garden) around the island for those who like to snorkel. Grounds are very well kept.

    Very good arrangements to pick up and drop at the airport. Our island host Cora was very polite, helpful and quick to respond to our queries. We had taken the bed and breakfast option. Excellent breakfast buffet. Deepana, our housekeeper did an excellent job and always with a smile. We enjoyed variety of delicious food at the various restaurants in the resort. Overall it was a very memorable and enjoyable experience for the three of us.

    Staff were friendly, especially Agra in the restaurant. Nice beach area with shade umbrellas over some of the chairs. Great house reef to snorkel on, free snorkeling equipment provided by the dive shop worked well. Food was good and varied. Loved the overwater bungalow. The boat transfer from the airport worked well. Nice selection of alcoholic beverages as part of the all inclusive plan.
