What makes it itself

Why people choose it

  1. 01

    A private beach

    The sand in front of the resort is its own, so the walk from your room to the water crosses nobody else.

  2. 02

    Overwater villas

    Rooms built out over the lagoon, with the water directly beneath the deck — the reason most people come to these islands.

  3. 03

    A full spa

    Treatments on the property — massage, steam room, beauty services, so a bad-weather afternoon has somewhere to go.

  4. 04

    Diving and snorkelling

    Run from the resort, which matters here: the boat leaves from your own jetty rather than an hour up the coast.

In the water

Reef and diving

House reefHonest answer: the reef here is still recovering from bleaching and coral diversity is limited — the resort runs a coral adoption programme, and the real snorkelling is on the guided boat trips to stronger South Male reefs
