Island Hideaway at Dhonakulhi Maldives

The Island Hideaway at Dhonakulhi Maldives sits on its own piece of paradise, 1.4 kilometer long, crescent-shaped island, complete with lush green vegetation, long white beaches and an adjacent coral reef. The resort offers 43 spacious, private luxury villas and a whole range of first-class facilities with the majority of the island left in its pristine natural state. Dhonakulhi Island, with a beach length of some 3,200 meters around the Island, is a haven of peace, tranquility and serenity. The crystal clear turquoise waters of the shallow waist-deep lagoon surrounding the island stretch as far as the eye can see. The Island’s uniquely rich and dense vegetation instill a feeling of harmony and being at one with nature.

The guest villa complexes are some of the largest of any resort in the Maldives. These majestic chalets are tucked into the lush greenery and scattered along the beach-line some 30 meters apart from one another, providing the ultimate in privacy. All of the Island’s villas boast breathtaking panoramic views over the beautiful turquoise lagoon and the Indian Ocean. There are six types of accommodation, some “floating” over infinity pools, some with private pools, some right on the beach, and others that sit on stilts over the ocean. The most deluxe are the Hideaway Water Suites, each featuring their own sea-view spa room, including sauna, steam room, and an outdoor bathtub. The designs of the furniture, fixtures and fittings are a rustic celebration of nature, and custom-made hand-finished natural materials have been used throughout.

Nightly rates for this incredible Maldivian retreat start at $695, and can be booked from here.
