Highlights

Location: 20-minute speedboat ride from Male' International Airport

Accommodation: 50 Beach Bungalows with direct beach access

Dining: Extensive buffet for breakfast, lunch, and dinner

Recreational: House reef for snorkeling and diving activities

“For couples seeking both adventure and relaxation, this island resort presents an alluring option. Water sports and vibrant marine life promise active days, while the spa and beachfront provide ample opportunity to unwind, though some may find the all-inclusive concept not as comprehensive as expected. The proximity to Malé offers a chance for cultural exploration, should you wish to venture beyond the island's wooden decks and private beaches.”
