Ocean Pool Villa

The same 155-square-metre shell and one-King layout as the Overwater Pool Villa — the resort's own site doesn't tag this category overwater or beach, so its exact position on the island is worth confirming at booking.

Marina Beach Pool Villa

155 square metres on the beach — the same private pool and one-King layout as the resort's other entry categories; the name suggests a marina-side setting, though the resort's site doesn't confirm its exact position on the island.

Before you book

What comes standard in every villa?

Complimentary Wi-Fi, a mini fridge, coffee/tea maker, individual climate control, Aromatherapy Associates bathroom amenities, a separate bathtub and shower, double vanities, and a robe and slippers, plus Safeeru — the resort's host and storyteller service, rooted in Sultanate-era Maldivian hospitality tradition rather than a conventional butler title. The Ocean Residence adds a private gym, a private spa treatment room, and a pool with a water slide into the lagoon.
