Merging Maldivian culture with a modern touch, this exclusive resort was designed to deliver an atmosphere of euphoria. Set on the Indian Ocean, the location is perfect for privacy

Designed  by  Czech  architect  Petr  Kolar, the name of the opulent  resort means  “Turtle  Island”, in the local language. The design of the complex gracefully reflects this, through captivating patterns and villas, that beautifully mirror a turtle’s head, with the island then completing the masterpiece, as a turtle’s body. The inspiration of this magnificent resort, stems from the generations  of  sea  turtles  that  have flocked to the island to nest andhatch.

All 43  private  villas,  houses  and  residences  and  4 four-bedroom residences, were created using local materials, that intertwine with the ultramodern interiors, designed to sweep you off your feet.
