Unspoilt lagoon paradise
You’ll always only be a few steps from the sandy beach or crystal-clear waters of the lagoon at this luxury resort.
Get a double dose of relaxation at this resort which spans across two islands that are connected by an overwater walkway. Embodying the typical style of a Maldivian island, you can’t go wrong with everything this resort has to offer. Situated in a vast lagoon with a marine life rich house reef on the outer rims inviting all the keen snorkellers to take a closer look, or if you are looking just for a bit of R&R then the endless stretches of white sandy beach make this the perfect match. Brand new for 2025, this is not one to be missed.

Questions? Sorted.
Do I need a visa to visit the Maldives?
British passport holders are issued a free 30-day visitor visa on arrival. You'll need a passport valid for the duration of your stay, a confirmed onward ticket and proof of your accommodation booking.
When is the best time to visit the Maldives?
November to April is the dry season, with the most reliable sunshine and calmest seas. May to October brings shorter rain showers, lower prices and better surf.
What currency is used in the Maldives, and do I need cash?
The local currency is the Maldivian rufiyaa, but resorts price and bill in US dollars and take major cards. Most guests never need cash — a small amount is handy for tipping.
Is the Maldives good for honeymoons outside peak season?
Yes. Off-peak brings noticeably lower rates and quieter islands, and rain tends to come in short bursts rather than all day. Many resorts add honeymoon extras during these months.
What activities are there for older kids and teens in the Maldives?
Most resorts run watersports centres with windsurfing, kayaking and paddleboarding, plus PADI dive courses from around age ten. Snorkelling safaris, sandbank trips and night fishing all suit older children.
