Honest review
A case where design and nature perform as equals: a secluded island in Baa Atoll, inside a unique UNESCO biosphere reserve, with villas designed by the Italian studio Peia Associati.
On the villas, the advice is short: both the overwater and the beach villas are kept in one register — simple, refined interiors, furniture and finishes exclusively in natural materials — so choose by budget and by your fondness for water under the floor. Service is of the highest order, in the chain's signature manner.
The main thing — do not leave without swimming with a mask: around the island you meet turtles, sharks, tropical fish and giant mantas, and in neighbouring Hanifaru Bay the mantas are watched year-round. For diving and snorkelling the place speaks for itself.
The rest follows the Maldivian classic: sport, sun, spa and quiet.
The island lies 111 km from Malé airport. It suits committed divers — and those in search of a quiet corner of paradise away from the bustle.
