For families, the 2-bedroom villa, with or without a private pool is ideal as it is beachfront and furnished with light interiors, ample storage, and comfortable furnishings of traditional Maldivian design. Both bedrooms have a large open-air bathroom, one garden shower, and another glass-enclosed shower as well as a bathtub.

Consisting of a separate entrance through a white beach, these villas come with a private courtyard and a private plunge pool, 2 bedrooms – one on the ground floor and the other on the top floor sharing a spacious living-cum-dining room and adjoining mini-library.

With varying cuisines from Europe to Asia, enjoy all-day dining at the ‘Lime Chill’ restaurant; Charcoal is the place to be should you prefer an a la carte beach dine out near the lagoon; The Kaage on the other hand, built-in traditional architecture, features signature Maldivian, Indian, Africa, and Far East dishes for the discerning palate. Finally, the ‘NÜ’ fine dining restaurant, is an over-water restaurant that has views of the lagoon all around and even has a sunset rooftop bar for a special sundowner with some of the best views of the island.

The resort offers a full range of water activities such as water bike rides, snorkelling, kayaking, and jet skiing through the Water sports centre. Exploring the reef for colourful fish and corals whilst spotting manta rays is possible through a diving expedition as well. Excursions on a ‘dhoni’ (wooden Maldivian boat) can be arranged to see pods of dolphins and other vistas of varied marine life. Alternatively, just chill and relax at the ELE | NA spa, which offers a limited number of treatments under the All-inclusive package, indulging in the comfort and tranquillity of the tropics.

The Travel Gallery Take – This 5* resort is very popular with the UK market; with a modern design, but a traditional Maldivian feel, the All-Inclusive program offers excellent value for money with a dine-around program and great added value benefits.
