About the Overwater Villa

An 86 sq m overwater retreat raised above Machchafushi's clear lagoon, finished in crisp all-white interiors lifted by tropical colour. A king bed anchors the room, while the bathroom pairs a deep soaking tub with a separate shower. The private sundeck steps straight down into the warm water for an unhurried morning swim.

This overwater villa accommodates up to 2 guests across 86 sqm of indoor and outdoor space, configured with king. The Centara Collection, Machchafushi Island Resort & Spa sits in South Ari Atoll, part of the Resortlife curated DMC roster.
