From Asian and African cuisines to Mediterranean seafood and local Maldivian dishes guests will be spoilt for choice and can also enjoy a sunset cocktail at the Beach Bar.
There are a variety of room types available including beach and lagoon villas as well as more spacious villas which have private pools and two bedroom family villas. For those looking for an impressive and secluded villa, the two bedroom Rockstar Villa is perfect. A spacious decking area with sun loungers and swimming pool, private butler, a golf buggy and a champagne phone are just some of the perks. Guests can enjoy the island’s bars and restaurants or the privacy and beauty of their villa with room service. For those looking to spend a romantic night under the stars, guests can book the Beach Bubble for the evening.
