The perfect option for the “no news no shoes” holiday. We offer the best of our most valuable asset - nature, in all its abundance. This is the perfect picture of the tropical island haven - the image that almost always comes to mind.

A small, almost circular island, about a quarter of a kilometer in diameter, the island is covered with lush vegetation and crowned by tall coconut palms. No wonder the atmosphere here is cozy and intimate. Right round the island the beach is of the finest white sand one can imagine. Lying on the beach listening to the tiny waves of the shallow blue lagoon gently caressing the sands, accompanied with the pleasant music created by the rustle of the palms, one can simply blend in with nature.

Beach Bungalows

The Beach Bungalows are located facing the beach - in fact they are no more than a few metres away from it. The individual bungalows are tastefully designed and furnished.

All Beach Bungalows offer an excellent view of the lagoon and the ocean beyond. Even inside, the glass doors afford an excellent view of the sea. The floor of the verandah outside the room is of fine white sand and comfortable white deck chairs afford a place to lie back and watch the ocean. The floors are tiled, and the tropical prints and colours of the drapery accent the white ceilings and walls. A choice of lighting enables you to choose how bright or soft you want the ambience to be.

The rooms are furnished with bed, closet, dressing table and mirror and a writing table and chair. All beach bungalows have a third bed, but here you may choose a twin room or a double room when you make your reservation. The bathrooms are spacious and are partially open air with shower, WC and washbasin.

The deluxe Beach Bungalows offer spacious accommodation. Accessible from the land, but the semi-circular sundeck to the front juts out onto the shallow lagoon. These sundecks are furnished with comfortable sun loungers and offer total privacy - no one to overlook you - while you sunbathe or spend an afternoon reading. The view is of a clear peaceful turquoise lagoon that gives way to the dark blue ocean that merges with the sky at the horizon. Step from the sundeck into the clear blue waters of the lagoon. The scene is of perfect tranquility.

The room is conveniently furnished with comfortable rattan chairs and a glass top coffee table. All rooms have double beds and a third bed. The rattan furniture is elegant and comfortable, and includes a wardrobe, a writing desk and dressing table with mirror. A well-stocked mini bar & Tea / Coffee making facilities adds to your convenience. The fully fitted bathroom is partly open air in true Maldivian tradition, with bathtub, shower and washbasin.

Water Villas

Walk under the continuous arch formed by the trees on either side of the main walkway, right to the northern end of the island. A long wooden jetty leads you to these exclusive rooms, secluded from the rest of the island. Each room an individual bungalow, is as beautiful inside as they are from the outside. Step inside the bungalow from the jetty, into the living area, furnished with closet, a set of drawers for your belongings, coffee making facilities and a mini safe.

Step into the lavishly furnished bedroom, with pine interiors, furnished with a comfortable queen sized bed, with glass-topped round bedside tables, writing table with chair and a seating area with comfortable cushioned seating, and glass-topped coffee table. The tiffany style lampshades add to the ambience inside.

Full glass doors open out to a private terrace, furnished with cushioned sun loungers, and a wooden table with chairs. Steps from the terrace lead down on to a private sundeck. Feel like a swim? Step down into the lagoon from the sundeck.

The fully fitted, spacious en suite bathroom is equipped with WC, bidet, bathtub, a separate shower, and hair dryer. Shutters on the full glass window, next to the bathtub opens out to a magnificent view of the sea.

Beach volleyball and badminton are some of the options available for an afternoon of fun and enjoyment. Often mixed teams of guests and staff join in and provide an exciting afternoon for the players as well as the onlookers. Or enjoy a more relaxing game of table tennis any time you feel like it.
