Start your spell in paradise in typically A-list fashion with a seaplane transfer from the country’s capital, Male. Stare out over the shimmering beauty of the Maldives from the air as lush green islands speckle the cobalt Indian Ocean landscape and you begin to feel the serenity of island life wash over you.

Take the chance to luxuriate in complete, paradise-island, bliss from the comfort of a two-storey duplex beach suite. You will feel like you have your own private slice of powder white-sand beach with direct access to the Maldivian shoreline from your sun terrace. In your beach suite you will find a modern spacious living area, king bedroom on a mezzanine floor, and opulent outdoor shower space juxtaposed against the stunning natural beauty around you to deliver an unforgettable island experience.

If you’d prefer to dial up the opulence even further, choose to upgrade your stay to a deluxe water villa and allow the picturesque lagoon to provide the most postcard-perfect backdrop to your break.  

Luxurious deluxe water villas offer a peaceful setting where equal measures of contemporary design and natural beauty provide a welcoming and comfortable space to unwind.

If you manage to pull yourself out of the sheets, wander out on to your private wooden decked area with a staircase providing direct access down to the shimmering lagoon.
