Located in the Lhaviyani Atoll, the luxury resort is a 35-minute seaplane flight from Velana International Airport, where “sustainability and marine preservation underpin the resort’s ethos”.
Guests can visit the Jawakara Atoll Research Centre and the Maldives’ first sea turtle health institute, and snorkel directly from the beach or the overwater villas to the house reef to view the coral restoration initiatives.
