Resort

Crafted For You
Draped In Blue

Possibility is always within reach at our island sanctuary. Located just a 45-minute yacht journey from Velana International Airport, arrival is effortless — and just the beginning.

A world shaped by taste, our resort is home to 11 distinct dining venues. Highlights include the Maldives’ only private hand-crafted bamboo pods at Terra and Burnt Ends-style barbecue at The Ledge by Michelin-star chef Dave Pynt.

Ease into island time and focus on connecting, exploring and unwinding. Here, we take wellness one notch further with our groundbreaking aqua wellness center. For those seeking a rare kind of seclusion, our private island is the largest in the Maldives.
