Set on its own island in the remote Noonu Atoll, 47 ultra-luxury villas — including beachfront, garden-water and over-water designs — each have a private infinity pool and refined, contemporary-Maldives decor combining high ceilings, natural wood, clean lines and panoramic lagoon views. Guests enjoy a private beach, a dedicated Guerlain spa, a tennis/padel court, world-class fine dining across multiple restaurants, a wine-and-cigar bar, diving and water sports, a kids’ club, and yacht- and boat-charter services. Typical nightly rates for a double-occupancy villa start around US$2,600–3,000 (low season, rising significantly in peak season).
