Built with sandstone, timber, and rich fabrics, the villas reflect the soul of the Maldives — warm, open, and inviting. Many come with private pools and direct beach or lagoon access. The Baros Pool Villas and Water Pool Villas are especially popular with couples, thanks to their seclusion and uninterrupted views.
