Our Opinion
A long, thin island offerign rooms and service of an exceptional standard.
Atmosphere: This resort is perfect for both families and couples alike. A cozy atmosphere where every aspect of the resort is very high quality.
Rooms: The rooms are quite large, yet intimate. Very luxurious with everything you need and more, such as iPod dock and DVD player (DVDs can be borrowed from reception).
Dining: .Exquisite food. Meals on Half/Full Board are a la carte, with only the most expensive meals such as lobster costing a small supplement on top - very good dining in both quality and value.
Activities: Some snorkeling available - but only satisfactory for a Maldives beginner, wonderful dolphin cruise, great for surfing, plenty to keep the little ones entertained whilst you enjoy some quality 'me time'.
This island is served by Speedboat.

Your Speedboat transfer will take around 25 mins.
