Agent Tips

  • Reserve a table at SEA, one of the world's few underwater restaurants and wine cellars, for a tasting menu paired with wines selected by the resident Wine Guru.
  • Visit SKY just before sunset for cocktails, then stay for guided stargazing through the Maldives' first overwater observatory.
  • Don't miss the house reef, where snorkeling alongside colorful coral, manta rays, and hawksbill turtles is often just steps from your villa.
