35-minute speedboat ride from Malé airport.

On Maadhoo Island in the South Malé Atoll.

The 90 villas are decorated in natural tones with splashes of tropical colour and high ceilings creating a real sense of space. Earth Villas are set on the beachfront, with a large terrace, garden and outdoor bathroom with separate bath and rain shower; Wind Villas are on stilts above the lagoon and have an indoor bathroom and free-standing bath with fabulous views across the water. It’s well worth upgrading to an Earth or Wind Villa with Pool as these also offer a private infinity pool and stunning sunset views. The spacious Earth Pool Pavilions have two bedrooms, a living room, outdoor lounge area and butler service, while the unique OZEN Residence is located at the tip of the pier and features three bedrooms, a stunning over-water pool, outdoor dining pavilion and private butler service.

Enjoy sublime ocean views at The Palms, offering all-day dining and an indulgent Champagne breakfast, or take a culinary tour of the East at the two Traditions fine dining restaurants; Traditions IndoCeylon is focused on South Asian flavours, while Traditions Peking explores the cuisine of China and the Far East. Other options include M6m, a spectacular underwater fine dining restaurant that specialises in seafood, and R.A.W serving healthy dishes and sushi platters. For light bites and cocktails there’s also Joie de Vivre poolside bar and lounge, which has fabulous sunset views.
