No thatched roofs or Robinson Crusoe rustic style here. Instead, the resort opted for a cutting-edge design with dazzling white architecture, trendy eateries and lounges with live DJs and underwater aquariums; glass-enclosed overwater spa; a private sandbank for picnics and parties and a young, energetic atmosphere. While it s ideal for groups of friends looking for fun in the sun, there s also room for those looking for a relaxing beach holiday.

Scattered throughout the island are stunning two-story villas, penthouses and residences, each adorned with vibrant pink decor, panoramic rooftop terraces and infinity pools. Spacious living rooms are bathed in natural light through floor-to-ceiling windows, while a nautical-style skylight allows you to capture breathtaking views of the fabulous colors of the Maldivian sky.

Start your day with an extensive international buffet at Glow Restaurant, or enjoy a unique floating breakfast tray in the privacy of your villa s pool. For a lazy lunch, try Beach Rouge, where wood-fired pizzas and charcoal dishes are served to the beat of a DJ. For something a little more sophisticated, try the Barium s private dining room with its underwater aquarium, or book a romantic, candlelit, twilight dinner for two on the pier.
