Before you book

What's included in a villa stay, and which categories have a private pool?

Four of the nine villa categories carry a private pool: Beach Suite Pool and Beach Residence on the beach side, Lagoon Suite Pool and Lagoon Residence overwater. Every villa includes Wi-Fi, air conditioning, a ceiling fan, wine cooler, mini-bar, flat-screen TV, tea/coffee facilities and a private digital safe; Beach Villas and Beach Suites add an open-air Maldivian-style bathroom. Only the Beach Residence comes with a dedicated Private Island Host (butler) and a complimentary private return airport speedboat transfer — no other category includes butler service.
