guest villas. Our marina is the first of its kind in the Maldives . The

Our Philosophy & Environment |
| |
Nature and luxury blend harmoniously together at The Island Hideaway.
The entire Island and lagoon is the exclusive and private domain of our
guests. The guest villa complexes are some of the largest of any resort
in the Maldives .
These majestic chalets are tucked into the lush greenery
and scattered along the beach-line some 30 metres apart from one another,
providing the ultimate in privacy. All of the Island 's villas boast
breathtaking panoramic views over the beautiful turquoise lagoon and
the Indian Ocean .
The designs of the furniture, fixtures and fittings
are a rustic celebration of nature, and custom-made hand-finished
natural materials have been used throughout. At the same time, however,
you can indulge all your senses in the magic of this Maldivian Island
and enjoy every exclusive luxury which sophisticated globetrotters have
come to expect.
Despite the extensive facilities and services at The Island Hideaway,
barely 5% of the Island and the lagoon has been utilized, thereby 95%
in its original state, untouched by the hand of man. |
