Villas

There are 80 villas. It's hard to decide whether you want to stay in a villa on the beach or one with a pool. The water villas are in the shallows on either side of the island. They offer either a continuous view of the ocean or dazzling views of Male City. Moreover, the glass-framed Villas are situated on white sands which surround the villas. These villas feature funky colors and art in an open living space with a bath, a lounge, and a large bed.

You'll be spending most of your time on the terrace. Relax on your daybed, lie on the net that hangs over the ocean, or take a dip in the private pool. Ascend down the staircase into the ocean. Wear snorkeling equipment and enjoy the bright turquoise fish and stingrays that swim on the surface.
