It’s hard to explain in words the beauty and magic of the Maldives. Upon landing from the short 55 minute seaplane from Male (which was a really amazing experience in itself), I immediately fell in love with the island. The resort is not over the top luxurious and rather blends in naturally with its surrounding. Minimalistic with a hint of Maldivian chic. On most days we found ourselves just wanting to stay in our overwater bungalow and lunching in our balcony which includes a private plunge pool and direct ladder access for snorkeling. Truly an experience and beauty that photos will never fully do justice.
