Privacy is the operative word here, as the resort spans two islands, named Play and Chill. On Play, you'll find water-based activities like zooming through the lagoon on an underwater rocket, or land-based ones, like a kid's Zumba. On Chill, you'll find incredible spa treatments and soothing, over-water studios. You don't have to choose just one island, however, so hopping between is encouraged.
Float through the darkness and glimpse species by torchlight as you night snorkel the reef. Bask in morning's first rays and salute the sun in yoga at dawn. Zoom through the lagoon on an underwater rocket, or sail away for sunset dolphin spotting. Dozens of diversions await at Nature's Playground. All ages will discover ways to chill and play from the abundant attractions in Maldives – from kids’ Zumba to romantic Dhoni cruises with vintage bubbles.
