The venue's house reef sits 20 meters from accommodations, making water-based ceremonies and receptions a logistical advantage competitors cannot match.
It was the Best Property , Location is near around 30mins speedboat, so travelling is less. Waiting time was zero , our boat was ready when we arrived, and it was a luxury speed boat. Checkin was very easy, we arrived early , so they gave small room for rest till our Main room gets ready. Rooms were very very nice, i visited maldives before, but i loved this rooms best. We stayed in both villas , beach villa with pool and overwatervilla with pool both were extraordinary and the best part is both the villa offer very big swimming pool. Suggestion- If you are travelling with kid i suggest to take Beach villa with pool , because they can play with sand. And if you are couple or going for honeymoon take water villa with pool , the full privacy. About resort , it is very big and beautiful, common swimmingpool is so big, it is one of the largest in maldives. Best hospitality , very nice staff , our buttler saaiba was very very nice and best part was food. We didnt expected that food for indians will be very nice. Actually out of 7 restaurants in 4 restaurants there were indian chef. They personally visited me and asked what i like and not. Food was Very extraordinary .
