Water villa


The Big Water Villas are well equipped with modern conveniences. The shower is connected to the patio so you can jump into it as soon as you get out of the salt water.

The villa terrace is an amazing place. It leads to super shallow water with lots of fish. Not having a pool was not an issue at all. If you think there is a problem, go to the pool on the nearby beach.

At the end of the day, watch the sunset from the patio and have dinner.

Restaurants at Maafushivaru


Maafushivaru offers extensive buffets, a la carte menus, private dining options, and a superb Japanese Teppanyaki restaurant. The buffet has a good mix of dishes so you won’t be disappointed.
The Teppanyaki restaurant is an amazing experience where the chef puts on a show while your dinner is prepared. The show is great, however the food is even better!
