The all-day dining main restaurant "Beach Kitchen" serves international and Maldivian dishes all day long in a relaxed atmosphere.

Two bars distributed across the island provide cool refreshments and offer the right atmosphere for everyone.

Seaplane flights and most boat transfers (depending on the island's location) as well as currently most domestic flights are only operated during daylight hours. Consequently, an overnight stay in Male may be necessary.

*************************************
In the Maldives, most rooms are equipped with one or two queen/king-size beds. With an occupancy of 2 adults + 1 or 2 children, there may only be a total of 1 or 2 large beds available. Accordingly, it may occur that with 2 adults + 1 or 2 children in one room, a child must sleep in the parents' bed.
