Amid lush tropical forest on a coral atoll, this remote luxury resort is reached by plane, then boat, from Malé Island.

Lavish, palm-thatched villas are set in jungle on the main atoll, while overwater villas built on stilts are reached by wooden boardwalks. Featuring outdoor bathrooms with rainfall showers, all offer free Wi-Fi, satellite TV and minibars, as well as Bose sound systems, iPod docks, and tea and coffeemaking facilities. Some add private outdoor pools. Butler service is offered.

A breakfast buffet is included. There are 3 restaurants (2 over water), plus a bar, an ice cream parlor, a spa, and an outdoor pool with a swim-up bar.
