Dubbed a gourmet holiday destination shaped by visits from celebrated personalities and Michelin-starred chefs such as Pepi Anevski, Joanna Artieda, Ollie Dabbous and Jord Althuizen, who is set for a fiery festive return this year, the resort warmly welcomes guests year-round to discover the true rhythm of Maldivian island life through cherished experiences.

• Sandbank Experiences:  For the feeling of leaving the world behind, the resort team takes guests to one of the nearby sandbanks for quiet, quality time.  From the pristine spot, snorkelling is ideal, as is relaxing in the warm sun under gentle shade.  Time seems to slow in such natural surroundings.  Guests can enjoy a relaxed yet special day with a gourmet breakfast and lunch picnic, taking in the starry skies, gentle ocean breeze, and a quiet slice of island life.
• In-Villa Barbecue:  The secluded haven of each guest villa is transformed into a personal restaurant for two, as one of the island’s grill chefs and a server prepare, cook, and serve a bespoke barbecue meal.  Designed for those seeking quiet moments together, this experience allows guests to savour a meal without leaving the comfort of their home from home.
• Champagne Breakfast:  The most refreshing way to start the day is by having a breakfast of choice on the beach.  For those staying in beach villas, a table is arranged at their private spot. Guests in Water Villas, Escape Water Villas, or Coco Residences are provided a dedicated space along Latitude Beach, ensuring a serene and personalised start to the day.
• Full Moon Beach Barbecue Dinner:  Guests can bask under the silver glow of the full moon as it rises over the Indian Ocean, casting shimmering light across turquoise waters and powdery white sands.  On the beach, the island’s culinary team expertly prepares sustainably sourced seafood and succulent meats, seasoned with island-inspired flavours.  This creates an unforgettable evening of barefoot elegance, exquisite cuisine, and tropical rhythms on one of the Maldives’ most breathtaking beaches.
• Sunset Pergola Dinner:  The resort’s ultimate romantic experience, the Sunset Pergola Dinner, features an intimate three-course meal set beneath a pergola on the beach, bathed in the soft golden glow of candlelight.  Guests enjoy an evening with just the couple, the stars above, the gentle lapping of waves, and elegantly served cuisine, creating moments of togetherness undisturbed.

Recognised for two consecutive years in the Awards for Excellence 2026 by Condé Nast Johansens, the resort invites guests to enjoy bespoke offerings, attentive service, and sustainable practices, creating a stay that feels genuinely personal, a reflection of relaxed, authentic island living where every day feels like the weekend.

As the festive season approaches, the island comes more alive with starlit beach dinners, private sandbank picnics, champagne breakfasts, and intimate in-villa experiences.  Each day unfolds into a journey filled with joy, connection, and memorable moments.  Guided by gentle ocean breezes and golden sunsets, guests are invited to savour holiday moments that sparkle with celebration, perfect for sharing, reflecting, and creating cherished memories that linger long after the waves have kissed the shore.
