Room Types

There are only six luxuriously appointed, fully air-conditioned Dhonis, each partnered with its own intimate Beach Bungalow with an outdoor bathroom and waterfall showers. These 65 ft traditionally handcrafted Maldivian sailboats are the epitome of simplistic elegance. The Dhonis have both the tradtional ivory sail and motor. Sail or cruise – the choice is yours. The bow of the Dhoni is inviting with its large, soft daybed to laze in the Maldivian sunshine. At night your Thakuru will transform the deck into a sensual setting for dining under the stars. An inviting king size bed with Frette linen and goose-down duvet graces the beautifully decorated cabins.

2 Beach Bungalows

With their rustic charm, these thatched bungalows, set amongst luxuriant tropical foliage and facing the pristine lagoon, engage all of the senses. Natural materials are used for furnishings that have been sourced throughout Asia and beyond. The Bungalows are fully air-conditioned, have an overhead fan, espresso machine, private bar, outdoor dining setting and surround sound system with an Apple ipod. Each Beach Bungalow opens onto its own secluded, private walled courtyard with a tropical shower open to the sun and stars. Back to Top

4 Beach Bungalows with Plunge Pool

While similar to the Beach Bungalows, and with the same amenities, the four Beach Bungalows with plunge pool offer a much larger private courtyard with your very own private freshwater plunge pool to wash away the salt water. Back to Top

Wine and Dine

The choice is yours. Our Chef can suggest a menu specially designed using the freshest of fresh ingredients or can personalise a menu to excite your palate. Find a secluded part of the beach and select your menu…dine on your Dhoni…in the restaurant...or on a private sand bank, any time of the day or night. This is your island getaway and you choose how to enjoy your time here.

Our bar is open 24 hours for guests to help themselves to a fine selection of champagne, wine, spirits and imported beers that have been meticulously selected by our Master of Wine. There is always a host on hand to mix the perfect margarita. An extensive reserve wine list is also available.

There are many opportunities to go on a variety of different and wonderful dives during your stay with us, from seeing Mantas and Whale sharks during the season of course (January to April) and also Eagle rays, Grey reef sharks and lots and lots of schooling fish.
