Everything you need is on the island

A holiday here revolves around the island and the ocean. Restaurants, the spa, the kids club and sports facilities are all on the resort.

  • On the island

    The restaurants Aragu, Tavaru, Faiy and Athiri, an overwater spa, Wellbeing Village, a golf academy and a kids club.

  • Around the island

    Beaches, the lagoon and the reefs of Noonu Atoll. Boat trips, snorkelling and diving are available; we agree the route and terms before the trip.

  • Trips off the resort

    It is a separate island, so trips off it need a boat or a plane. This kind of holiday does not suit city walks.
