Marine life

The islands boast lush tropical flora and fauna, but the crystal-clear sea views are the true gems. Choose from stilted villas that look out over the ocean, or one of two new Aqua Villas that have a bedroom submerged under the water for a completely different view of marine life and the Maldives’ endless coral reefs. Dreamy.
