Villa Park, Maldives

These Maldivian villas promise peace and privacy, yet their central position means the island’s energy is never far away. With tropical gardens, an outdoor bathtub and an open-air shower, these one-bedroom Sun Villa bungalows are perfect for couples. Surrounded by fragrant foliage and just moments away from Villa Park’s vibrant collection of restaurants, they have everything you need to live island life to the full.

On the sunset-facing shore of the island, this beachfront villa opens directly onto white sand and the still lagoon beyond. A king bed and sofa bed sleep up to three, while a private veranda frames the evening sky as it deepens into starlight. Air conditioning, an open-air shower and round-the-clock service complete the retreat.

A beachfront villa of 121 square metres opening directly onto the sand and a calm lagoon. A king bed anchors the air-conditioned interior, while the expansive private veranda holds an outdoor whirlpool and loungers for unhurried afternoons. An open-air shower sits amid tropical greenery. Sleeps up to three guests.

Wake up and take a few steps from your villa to the pearlescent-white shores fringed by coconut palms and lapped by crystal-clear topaz waters that give way to a protected coral reef thriving with marine life. Leading out to a private veranda, swimming pool, open-air shower and sundeck, each spacious villa epitomises luxurious indoor-outdoor living. A contemporary beach-home feel merges beautifully with authentic Maldivian charm. Relax in your private pool cooled by a tropical-island breeze or discover the pristine white beach and turquoise waters on your doorstep.

Among the resort's largest beachfront villas, this 170-square-metre retreat sits close to the island's natural jungle with direct access to a south-facing beach. Bright, airy interiors centre on a king bed, while the sun terrace opens onto a private pool and a separate whirlpool. An open-air shower and the turquoise lagoon beyond complete the setting.

Set on stilts above the turquoise lagoon and reached along a timber jetty, this 73 sqm overwater villa frames the open horizon from a private sundeck, with a staircase leading straight down into the warm shallows for snorkelling and swimming. Inside, a king bed faces the water and the lagoon laps just below the floor.

Set at the very end of the jetty (villas 351-358), this two-bedroom overwater suite suits families and small groups. Open-plan living opens onto a spacious sundeck with a private outdoor whirlpool, sun loungers and an open-air shower, while steps lead straight down into the lagoon. Panoramic ocean views frame both bedrooms; the suite sleeps up to four.

A two-storey beach residence on South Ari Atoll's shoreline, with a master bedroom facing the pool and beach, a twin-bedded second room and two bathrooms. A private pool, shaded sand cabana and an elevated terrace framing the coconut-palm canopy give families generous space, seclusion and direct beach access.
