These luxurious villas feature expansive sundecks seamlessly integrated with infinity pools, creating a sophisticated space to unwind. Oversized king beds are strategically positioned to face the ocean, allowing you to wake up to unparalleled views, complemented by floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the interiors with natural light.

The bathrooms are equally exquisite, designed with indulgence in mind. Enjoy a separate bathtub within the room, a spacious rain shower in its own private shower room, and an additional outdoor shower for a truly immersive experience.

These villas redefine the classic Maldives overwater villa experience with thoughtful enhancements that elevate the resort to extraordinary levels of luxury. From the expansive layout to the premium Bamford shower and bath products, every detail is meticulously curated to provide an unparalleled sense of comfort and sophistication.

Beach Villas


The Beach Villas offer all the luxurious amenities found in the Overwater Villas, with the added benefit of more space and a unique connection to the shore. While Overwater Villas are often a favourite, the Beach Villas stand out with their larger layout and the unparalleled privilege of stepping directly onto what feels like your own private beach. In Beach Villas, you will enjoy uninterrupted sunshine throughout the day.

Just a few sandy steps separate your villa from the crystal-clear lagoon. Each Beach Villa ensures exceptional privacy, creating a tranquil retreat where you can fully unwind. The seamless indoor-outdoor design allows for direct beach access, while the oversized daybed by your private pool invites you to lounge in absolute comfort, surrounded by the natural beauty of your own secluded paradise.
