Angular white single-story accommodations blend into the island’s soft sands, creating a beautifully harmonious look across the intimate property.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Set on a secluded island in North Male Atoll, the property is reached via a fifteen-minute seaplane flight from Male.
The rooms
Every villa has a seven-meter private infinity pool, expansive floor-to-ceiling glass, and a rooftop terrace configured for stargazing.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
An illuminated infinity pool curves along the main timber deck, bordered by palm trees and open-air dining terraces.
The overwater spa
Treatment pavilions sit directly over the lagoon, offering open-air rooftop yoga and freestanding tubs looking across the water.
The tennis court
A vivid blue tennis court sits on the sand, ringed by palm trees and open ocean views.
Restaurant
Shimmers
Greek and Mediterranean dishes share the menu with wood-fired pizzas, joined by poolside cocktails and lagoon-facing DJ sets.
At the table
Across the island, dining spans Peruvian-Japanese plates at KAYTO, plant-forward Mediterranean fare, and freshly churned gelato.
How it began
Miaja Design Group crafted the modernist aesthetic, opening in October 2021 as Jumeirah's sole Maldivian retreat on North Malé Atoll.
