Set amidst lush vegetation on a three-kilometre long private island, the resort has the luxury of space, offering guests the opportunity to indulge in the way that they want. Adventurers can explore the resort and the neighbouring local islands by bicycle while spa lovers can recharge with a wellness package or indigenous ritual at CHI, The Spa. Ocean enthusiasts can choose to scuba dive, snorkel, windsurf and parasail, to list just some of the seaborne activities available at the resort. To create lifetime memories, honeymooners can venture out to sea aboard a luxurious sailing yacht at sunset or renew their vows with a blessing ceremony on the beach.

The resort also offers a perfect setting for a family holiday. Children below 12 years old can share their parents’ villa at no extra cost and enjoy additional benefits including a welcome gift, amenities, a kid’s bicycle and free meals for children up to six years old. While parents recharge around the pool, children aged four to 11 can participate in a variety of fun-filled activities, from young chefs’ programmes to pirates of Villingili adventures and tree-planting activities organised by the Cool Zone’s team.

Guests planning for a shorter break can book the resort’s Summer Getaway offer and enjoy one complimentary night when paying for three nights, free return domestic flights from Malé to Gan and buffet breakfast in Javvu Restaurant for two.
