You'll find paradise here - catching the sea breeze as you wake up in the morning, snorkeling over coral and marine life just steps away from your private villa entrance, luxuriating in the comfort of your elegant five-star Maldives beach villa or a luxury Maldives spa, and marvelling at the beautiful Maldives sunset and magnificent splash of stars in the night.

Villas
Encircled by a white powdery beach, 48 elegantly rustic villas are nestled on a coral atoll in the Indian Ocean. Every air-conditioned villa has one bedroom with an open terrace, four-poster king-sized bed, recessed sitting area, daybed, open-air jet pool and private sundeck. For families or small groups travelling together, the resort recommends the Vabbinfaru Villas complemented by a private pavilion in the garden.
Uniquely designed to reflect a seashell spiral, the understated elegance of conical thatched roof villas imparts a sense of traditional Maldivian magic. Special care was taken during construction in order to protect the coral reefs, by importing pre-fabricated villa elements by light boat; in addition, the villas' designs maximise natural light and sea breezes.
All these elements add up to an unforgettable stay, in an iconic Maldivian environment.
