Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Surrounded by a thriving house reef in North Malé Atoll, the island sits a forty-minute speedboat ride from the international airport.
The rooms
All one hundred villas feature private plunge pools and expansive sundecks, from beachside courtyard hideaways to thatched overwater retreats.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Daybeds and shaded loungers flank the main infinity pool, which stretches right to the edge of the lagoon.
The spa & gym
At the table
Open-air tables sit on timber decks directly over the lagoon, with dishes highlighting fresh seafood and Asian grills.
How it began
Developed in 2006 by Maldivian hospitality group Sunland Hotels, the resort established a homegrown take on barefoot island luxury.

The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
