Location
The resort is located on a 1,000 by 200 meter island in Meemu Atoll, approximately 130 km from Velana International Airport in Male. Transfers to the island take either 45 minutes by seaplane or about 2 hours and 30 minutes by speedboat, with boat departures at 11:00 and 17:00. The nearest airport is Kadhdhoo Airport, 111 km away. The resort’s beachfront location places guests directly on the sand with free access to sun loungers, umbrellas, and towels. The island’s reef is at a considerable distance offshore, making swimming near the beach challenging due to shallow waters.

Reviews
The food was excellent and the bungalow very clean
Unfortunately, there was a lot of seaweed, so we went swimming on the other side of the island.
The pool was also large and clean, but the sun loungers and especially the towels could use replacing; some were full of stains and holes.
We really enjoyed the food (buffet); it was varied every day, and the service staff was very friendly.
Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend the accommodation.
