Description

Located in the stunning Baa Atoll, just minutes from Hanifaru Bay, home to one of the world’s largest manta ray congregations and a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.

Once an abandoned coconut plantation, now a lush tropical island escape where soft white sands, tall palms, and crystal-clear waters set the scene to unwind, explore, and connect.

Whether you’re craving quality time with the kids, a romantic hideaway, or a sun-soaked adventure with your crew, you’ll find your perfect pace here. Think floating cocktails delivered by dhoni to your villa, snorkelling on our vibrant house reef, and beachside dinners that turn into barefoot dancing with live DJs under the stars.

Stylish villas, pavilions, and residences combined with spectacular marine life, flavour-packed dining, and memories that last a lifetime, it’s all waiting for you on the edge of paradise.

Whatever your idea of paradise looks like, you’ll find it here.
