The accommodation
From beachfront hideaways to overwater villas above the lagoon — each one curated and personally checked by our Maldives team.
These 87 square metre Deluxe Villas hold, within the charm of their Maldivian architecture, a four-poster bed with net canopy, terracotta-tiled floor, sitting area and a garden bathroom with sunken bath. Outside, a terrace and fresh-water splash pool are made completely private by the vegetation wrapping the villa, with the beach just a few steps down a sandy path.
Each 87 square metre Sunset Beach Villa is a private platform from which to watch the sky's orange-hued nightly show. The sound of the thatch fringe and mature tropical plants in the breeze captures island life, while a short canopied pathway leads to the largest stretch of beach on the island and the lagoon beyond.
Dotted along the beaches of Coco Palm Dhuni Kolhu, the 104 square metre Deluxe Pool Villas offer comfort and privacy. Outside, take a dip in the freshwater pool that curves alongside your private beach, dry off on a hammock strung between swaying palms, or curl up on a sunbed as you listen to the nearby waves.
Perched over water just a wooden walkway from the beach, these 87 square metre Lagoon Villas offer privacy and uninterrupted panoramic views. Inside are a four-poster king bed, wooden floors, a Jacuzzi bathroom and authentic Maldivian furniture, while generous sundecks host lounge areas and your own sunken fresh-water plunge pool.
At 154 square metres, the Sunset Lagoon Villas are the resort's most exclusive. Under a pitched, thatched ceiling, simplicity of style and abundant space create an uplifting retreat, with a spa bath overlooking the ocean. On the main private deck, a fresh-water plunge pool with a glass floor gives views through water to water.
