The resort
Villa Park occupies the island of Nalaguraidhoo in South Ari Atoll, reached by a 17-minute domestic flight to Maamigili Airport followed by a short speedboat transfer. The 1.6 km long island is among the larger resort islands in the Maldives and accommodates 462 villas across beachfront, beach pool and overwater categories, served by five restaurants including the buffet venues Maaniya and Southern Star, the treetop farm-to-table Zero, and the overwater Italian Al Pontile. Meal plans span Bed and Breakfast through Full Board, All Inclusive and a Premium All Inclusive tier. South Ari Atoll is the best-documented area in the Maldives for year-round whale shark sightings in the surrounding channels, and manta ray encounters are a frequent feature of the dive and snorkel programme. On-site facilities include a dive centre, spa, tennis court, gym, a dedicated kids' club and a large lagoon pool, with the house reef accessible directly from the beach. The breadth of villa inventory, the scale of the island, and a meal-plan ladder that stretches into premium all-inclusive make Villa Park a practical choice for multi-generation families and groups who want structured marine activity without committing to a small boutique property.

The accommodation
From beachfront hideaways to overwater villas above the lagoon — each one curated and personally checked by our Maldives team.
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.

Exceptional split-level treetop restaurant hidden in tropical foliage at the heart of the island, offering romantic private deck dining for two with an eclectic international menu.
A 24-hour coffee shop and casual dining venue, Vaani serves world-class coffee from ethical partner Deluxe Coffeeworks — sourced, roasted, and prepared by trained baristas. Set in a breezy open-air pavilion steps from the beach, it is the go-to spot for morning espresso, light meals, or late-night ice cream after an evening spa treatment.
An interactive 'food theatre' experience in an open-sided beachfront pavilion, Villa Park's Teppanyaki restaurant seats guests around a central grill where chefs prepare fish, meat, and seafood to order. The menu spans fresh sushi, sashimi, prawn and octopus, tuna, tempura, udon broths, and Japanese beer — all served in view of the Indian Ocean.
Perched on the south side of Villa Park overlooking a tranquil lagoon, Sun Star serves authentic Thai cuisine from a candlelit open-sided restaurant with a wraparound deck. The menu features fragrant curries, sweet-and-sour broths, and rice and noodle dishes prepared with beef, chicken, or freshly caught local seafood.
Villa Park's Italian restaurant, Ristorante Al Pontile, occupies a timber deck jutting over the water and is renowned for its unbeatable sunset views. The menu offers freshly made pasta, hand-stretched wood-fired pizzas available island-wide, flame-grilled meats including fillet steak, and fresh seafood — calamari, lobster, and the day's fishermen's catch.
The open-air Maaniyaa restaurant serves a daily-changing buffet of globally-inspired dishes exclusively for Beach Villa guests, from continental breakfasts with freshly baked pastries and fruit to locally caught seafood and traditional Maldivian curries at dinner. Backed by swaying palms and open to the beach on both sides, it runs from dawn until dusk.
Southern Star is Villa Park's main international buffet restaurant, set on the south side of the island in an open beachfront colonnade backed by swaying palms. The menu brings together Oriental, South Asian, and Mediterranean cuisines — a wide spread suited to every palate, served amid views of the lagoon and overwater villas.
