Before choosing

Beachside tables and villas over the lagoon

The villa invites you to linger; outside, there are the beach, reef and restaurants.

Have breakfast at Seasalt by the beach, then try Yakitori or Umami for dinner. ALLIN includes a 3-course menu or themed buffet in its named dinner restaurants; for teppanyaki or alternative dining, there is a food credit, with any amount above it and alcoholic drinks charged separately.

Overwater villas divide 125 m² into 72 m² indoors and 53 m² outside, with the pool and lagoon beyond the bedroom. Beach and Sunset Beach Pool Villas have 202 m², including 97 m² indoors, and an open-air bathroom among the plants.

Boduge Residence adds a service room, kitchenette and wine fridge. Outside are a beachfront pool, seating area and swing: small reasons to spend more of the day at your own villa.

The space behind the room name

Overwater villas look out across the lagoon; Beach Pool Villas sit in the shade of the trees.

Each category has a private pool. Compare the indoor space as well as the terrace: the catalogue separates indoor and outdoor areas, checked on 5 October 2026.

  • The resort reviews

    Guests return to the space in the villas, open-air beach bathrooms and villa hosts in their accounts. Those who stayed in both settings describe the difference between a villa among trees and a deck above the water. (Alila Kothaifaru Maldives).

Questions that change the choice

How long is the journey from the airport?

Allow roughly 45 minutes from Velana by shared seaplane, plus waits and possible stops. Choose international flights arriving before 3.30 pm and leaving after 9 am local time to fit the daylight window.

Does the Google price identify ALLIN?

The Google quote checked on 5 October 2026 leaves the meal plan unspecified. Select ALLIN for the same villa and dates, then add the transfer, to price an all-inclusive stay.

How does the spa fit the stay rate?

ALLIN includes one selected treatment per adult per stay, booked during the package’s specified hours. Other treatments have their own prices; ask the spa about day passes or access for outside guests.

Are the areas indoors only?

No: the Water Villa’s 125 m² includes 72 m² indoors and 53 outdoors; the Beach Villa’s 202 m² includes 97 indoors and 105 outdoors.

Why are both 80 and 81 villas quoted?

The current room introduction lists 41 Beach, 36 Water, three 2-bedroom villas and one Boduge Residence, totalling 81. The opening announcement and other pages retain 80. Connected configurations are not counted as new units.
