The Maldives Resorts

Resorts - miles of sandy beaches, fine dining and stylish accommodations

Every resort in Maldives is an island by itself with its own individual image, each with the basics of a sandy beach and a lagoon safe for bathing and snorkeling. Some have house reefs ideal for diving just a few meters off the shore. For others, the best diving is a few minutes away by speed boat. All resorts have an adequate supply of fresh water from desalination plants, backed up by rainwater catchments. All have their own electricity generators and waste disposers.

Accommodation – modern conveniences, carefully merged with nature

Offering all comforts and services of modern amenities, yet conserving every bit of nature, our accommodations range from thatched ceilings and rustic fittings to that of luxurious modern air-conditioned city-style apartments, or from log cabins built over the lagoon to duplexes in the wilderness.
