During Covid times we asked all customers to contact us by email only. This worked very well as we could prioritise response times and ensure we had a full record of conversations. For these reasons we would like to continue with 96% non-telephone contact - if you feel a call is necessary, and cannot be dealt with by email, please first send an explanatory message with any questions you wish to ask and we will call UK numbers or provide our numbers for non UK residents.

Our Opinion
A good island on which to base your holiday in the Maldives with opportunities to visit neighbouring destinations
Atmosphere: Laid back and casual with peaceful days and lively, social nights.
Rooms: All rooms are individual bungalows (apart from the interconnecting family rooms) and come equipped with the usual amenities. They are all clean and bright.
Dining: Italian trained chefs ensure that the buffet is of high quality and extensive with live cooking stations.
Activities: If looking for a bit of a change of atmosphere, it is possible to take a ferry over to Sun Island which is bigger and busier. Diving in this atoll is known for being particularly good - lots of excellent nearby dive sites.

Full Day Excursion
Provides you with a chance to see three different islands - a resort, an inhabited island and an uninhabited island. In this guided tour, you will have a chance to swim, snorkel and suntan on a nearby virgin island followed by a delicious BBQ. In the fishing village, you may also enjoy some shopping and see some historical places. You will also visit a local hotel of different style to be explored.
Morning Fishing
Takes you to the open waters for an exploration of the local fish. The boat captain takes you to different locations where you can enjoy a good catch. The fishing industry has not utilised mechanised vessels until recently. Rowing and sailing boats have been used for centuries for fishing, ensuring that the daily catch was very much limited. However, nowadays the majority of fishermen around and a handful of others come in from a far distance for fishing in this area. This small amount of boat traffic is thankfully insufficient to spoil the good diversity of marine life. You will be provided with a BBQ of your catch at the Coffee Shop Terrace.
Night Fishing
Catch a fish before you loose the Sun! The boat captain will take you to a location where he has experienced good fishing. Night fishing is the easiest way of experiencing how to catch fish. Barracudas, Red and White Snappers, Small Tooth Grouper, Blue Fin Jack and Bulls Eyes are among the most popular catches. Your boat crew will provide you the fishing gear and offer angling advice and assistance on board. Enjoy the BBQ of your own catch! Even if you did not catch any fish, still the BBQ will be provided at 2200hrs on the Sundeck, if the weather permits. Otherwise inside the Coffee Shop.
