There’s quite a lot going on in the communal spaces, from the Maldivian/Moroccan restaurant to the poolside cigar bar to the garden-set spa and yoga pavilion.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Located fifty-five kilometers north of the equator in deep Huvadhoo Atoll, the island offers immediate boat access to forty untouched dive sites.

Sleek timber pavilions feature outdoor garden bathrooms with deep terrazzo bathtubs, while stilted water villas open straight over the house reef.

Floor-to-ceiling glass windows in the 24-hour fitness room look straight out over the ocean.
