Complimentary premium spirits and wines are served throughout the day, along with refreshments and tea and coffee.

The Location - Domestic flight and boat transfers included

Most guests travelling to the Maldives travel via Singapore (with a host of carriers flying between Australia and Singapore) before a short four-hour flight to the Maldives. The holiday begins the moment you step onto your included domestic flight from Ibrahim Nasir International Airport. Your 25-minute flight provides unparalleled views of this unique island nation before you land at your resort in jet-set style and board your included speedboat transfer to be greeted with a welcome glass of champagne. Make the experience even more special by upgrading to seaplane transfers at a surcharge of US$150pp for a return trip.

The Food – Daily champagne breakfast, lunches and dinners included

Start each day in paradise with your included daily sumptuous champagne breakfast, featuring unlimited French champagne and delicious freshly cooked Western and Maldivian delights. Expect fresh fruits, eggs cooked to order, pancakes, seafood, pastries and more.

For your included lunches and dinners, wander along over-water walkways to your choice of three restaurants: The Reef, situated next to the infinity-edge swimming pool and offering Teppanyaki plus an international buffet; the Azzuri Mare Restaurant, where seafood and Italian are on offer and you have picture-perfect views of the lagoon; and Suan Bua, serving tempting Thai. Sip on unlimited alcoholic drinks, including beers, wines, cocktails and spirits like Absolut Vodka, Johnnie Walker, Gordon’s London Dry Gin and Jack Daniel’s at the Aqua Bar as traditional Maldivian music provides the perfect backdrop to a stunning ocean sunset.

The Activities - Relax into island time or take part in once-in-a-lifetime experiences

Experience it all with an included sunset tour, taking in stunning views over the Indian ocean, or activate your inner culture vulture with a local discovery tour to a traditional Maldivian village on a nearby island.

If you’d prefer to relax at the resort, you’re covered with a pampering experience of US$100 credit per person, per stay to redeem at SPA Cenvaree. From hot stone massages to aromatherapy candle treatments, facials and even a Kids’ Menu, it’s a haven of pure pampering.

Diving and snorkelling enthusiasts will be in deep-sea heaven with included snorkelling tours (whale sharks often swim by) and dives in the one of the world’s most beautiful reefs with PADI accredited dive masters (up to three dives per person, per stay - two for five-night stays, three for seven-night stays - as an alternative to spa credits, 18+ only).
