Accommodation at SAii Lagoon runs to 170 rooms, suites, and villas across beach and lagoon categories, all in a relaxed, contemporary beach-house style. The resort leans social and family-friendly rather than secluded.
Seven restaurants, an outdoor pool, a spa, a fitness centre, and a kids’ club round out the SAii Lagoon Maldives offering, with the wider marina adding more dining and activities a short walk away.

Dining
SAii Lagoon runs several restaurants and bars. Terra & Mar is the signature all-day venue, serving Mediterranean and global dishes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with weekend brunches and themed buffet nights. Miss Olive Oyl is the beachside grill, covering prime-aged cuts and Maldivian and global plates from day to night. Mr Tomyam is the poolside trattoria, blending Thai classics with Italian and local touches. Pool and swim-up bars handle drinks, with more dining across the marina.
Wellness
SAii Spa is the wellness center, built around a nature-led concept that draws on sand, sea, and locally sourced organic ingredients, with a focus on sustainable treatments. The spa is open daily, with massages, facials, and body therapies on the menu. The wider resort adds an outdoor pool and a fitness center, while the connected CROSSROADS marina brings further wellness and spa options within a short walk across the footbridge.
Location
SAii Lagoon sits in the Emboodhoo Lagoon of the South Malé Atoll, just 15 minutes by speedboat from Velana International Airport, one of the shortest transfers in the country. The resort is built into CROSSROADS Maldives, the country’s first integrated destination, and links by footbridge to The Marina @ CROSSROADS for dining, shopping, and entertainment. A Marine Discovery Centre, dive center, and water sports base sit alongside, with snorkeling straight off the house reef.
The Maldives
The Maldives is made up of more than a thousand coral islands scattered across the Indian Ocean, each resort occupying its own private atoll. No shared beaches, no neighbouring properties, no traffic. The geography does something that no amount of hotel design can replicate: it removes you completely from everything else. The range across those islands is wider than most people expect.
Our Experts
The Maldives is a stand-out when it comes to luxury travel and our most popular destination. We are also proud to be able to work with properties that are welcoming to the LGBTQ+ community.
Staying in an over-water bungalow is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that I'd recommend to any traveller. It's amazing to swim in some of the world's most impressive coral reefs and the sunset's divine.
Stellar service. Stellar products. Stellar people and it gets so much better when you pick up the phone and call.
