The large one-bedroom suites measure 6,286 square feet and the two-bedroom villas measure 9,224 square feet, boasting private outdoors bathtubs, sun loungers by the pools, exciting waterslides, retractable roofs and artsy wooden porches. These water slides are also featured in Soneva Jani of the luxury resort chain.
The one-bedroom water villas cost up to USD 2,626 per night and the two-bedroom villas are worth USD 5,332 per night.

The property is also home to multiple restaurants including a chocolate room, a kids club, a scuba-diving reef as well as tennis courts and the largest outdoor movie screen in the Indian Ocean region.
Maldives reopened borders for international travel on July 15, a little over three months since halting issuance of on-arrival visas on March 27. The island nation has been welcoming tourists under the guideline that they remain in the pre-booked destination throughout their stay. So far, over 16,000 tourists have arrived in the island nation since border reopening.
