Before you book

What's the house reef and diving like?

The resort's own description calls its surrounding lagoon 'one of the finest coral reefs in the Maldivian ecosystem.' The 5-Star Diving Center sits near the arrival jetty with PADI-certified instructors running courses and excursions, and cites turtles, spotted eagle rays, napoleon wrasse and reef sharks among the house-reef marine life. We'd verify current reef conditions with the resort before booking a dive-focused stay.
