Interior Design:

Architecture:

Contemporary timber water villas called Dhonis with architectural accents of traditional Maldivian boats and buildings. The experience is in living close to the water, with all Dhoanis and villas situated directly above the sea, each has its own private verandah with steps leading directly to the gin-clear waters of the Maldivian sea.

Interiors:

The dhonis are decorated in a stylish, elegant and simple way with light and airy rooms, their inspiration drawn from South Indian and colonial furniture, using local fabric and traditional colours. Light white cottons with delicate Indian embroidery and detail are seen throughout.
