It doesn’t get more chilled than this. Ocean views and breezes, your toes in the sand, and a refreshing cocktail or snack served to your sunbed.

Feel the tingle of Dom on the tongue, six metres below the waterline. Parrotfish swim past shoals of Moorish Idols. Moray eels slide through the lagoon. Groupers make goliath appearances amidst the rainbow of butterflyfish and damselfish, while the resident Hawksbill turtle glides in for a visit.

Welcome to the fireside, with a jungle canopy overhead and torches lighting the way. Here, the flavours of Africa, Central and South America are explored in the open kitchen.

Climb into our tree house, Nest, for an unforgettable dining high. Navigate the jungle on a labyrinth of wooden walkways to your private perch in the tree tops.

As the sun sets over the ocean swells, head to the Surf Shack with the dudes. Here, the Rastaman shakes up classic rum cocktails to the cool rhythms of reggae.
There are a number of other surf spots in and around the Dhaalu Atoll that can be explored during your stay. For those looking for the ultimate adventure, ask about a private seaplane to access any wave in the Maldives.
This is the spot to surf in west to northwest winds, located on the opposite side of the channel approximately ten minutes by boat. The wave wraps in on the reef by more than 90 degrees and is a world-class right hander suited to intermediate and advanced surfers. In medium-sized swells, enjoy the long, rippable walls and end barrel section.
This wave works best when the wind blows from a north to easterly direction making the left hander hollow and rippable. It usually picks up more swell than Kasabu, as it is perfectly exposed to south and southwest swells.
When small, the wave is fun and caters to beginners, longboards and funboards. When bigger, it becomes suitable for intermediate to advanced surfers.
The best part of all is you can reach this wave by simply walking to the point and paddling out – no boat transfer is needed. Upon request, we'll do our best to get you a beach villa as close to the spot as possible.
Battle man versus beast in a big game fishing expedition, reeling in a great trevally or majestic sailfish. Explore a local island and make new friends. Soar aboard a dhoni into the sunset.
