The hotel

Spread across two 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 the two spas including the Ocean Spa which features 8 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!

extremely disappointed with the service, never stay at this resort. We stayed here for 3 nights and there is unavailability for everything whatever you ask for be a small thing like floating breakfast they refuse it, wherever you go for food staff is all laid back doesn’t care if you’re hungry, they don’t even have buggy for transportation have to walk everywhere or wait for bus, their restaurant will be empty but still they will not take reservations stating the unavailability. We had to struggle hard to find food or book any activity they refuse everything. Read less
