Overview

Getting there
Getting around the islands

This palm-encrusted island has an undisturbed appearance with the resort hidden from view by the natural vegetation. There are canopied paths that criss-cross the island and striking palms that overarch the beachfront villas. There are no motorised water sports to disturb the peace, the reefs or the rhythms of aquatic wildlife.

After a foot massage in your villa (that’s check in done) you butler quietly takes over. It is easy never to set foot outside the villa again with spectacular guestrooms that are a divine mix of modernity and tradition. Wide outdoor terraces with swinging daybeds or hammocks make them masterpieces of comfort. In the beach villas sunken garden tubs-for-two come with built-in wine coolers and overwater villas cheekily boast glass-bottomed bathtubs.

Migrate from your villa to the pool area and butlers will busy themselves plying you with fruit, liquid refreshments and cold towels whilst you just ease back on retro loungers or on huge daybeds. On the far tip of the island and surrounded turquoise waters, is the stilted-up Sea.Fire.Salt.Sky complex. Sip martinis in Sky until your cocktail matches the colour of sunset; take teppenyaki at Fire; savour seafood at Salt or step down into glassy, underwater, gourmet elegance at Sea, where vast numbers of bottles are cellared.

Fantasies of paradise found include a six-suite overwater spa and the Maldives longest pool. So, swim off or try to massage away the excesses, time permitting
