Atoll, about 7 kilometers from Malé International Airport
and the capital Malé, is covered with lush tropical
vegetation, numerous palm trees, surrounded by a wide sandy
beach and the crystal clear waters of an azure lagoon. The
island owns one of the best house reefs, just 40 - 60 meters
away from the beach. The natural splendor is complemented by
the modern amenities of the resort, which ensure that your
stay is both comfortable and memorable.

swimming pool have been rebuilt with the state of the art
architectural designs blending perfectly with the tropical
surrounding and maintaining the “local feel”. Rooms on the
northern side of the island have been replaced by elegantly
designed individual loft type Beach Villas with the most
