Location

The Ayada Resort is located on the Gaafu Dhaalu Atoll, on the southern island of Maguhdhuvaa, just 30 km from the equator. The island is surrounded by an untouched underwater landscape, offering perfect conditions for snorkeling and diving with its house reef. The transfer to Kaadhedhoo Airport takes approximately 55 minutes by domestic flight, followed by a 50-minute speedboat ride.

Facilities

Scattered across the island, nestled amidst the breathtaking natural landscape, are 122 luxuriously appointed villas. Ayada does not have a reception area, as all guests check in directly at their villas. Amenities include a boutique, a jeweler, a hairdresser, and a souvenir shop. For culinary delights, there are five restaurants serving national and international dishes, as well as three bars. The main restaurant, "Magu," offers daily changing international buffets. "Ocean Breeze" serves modern European dishes and seafood. The "Zero Degree" restaurant, located by the infinity pool, offers fresh salads and Asian dishes. "Sea Salt" provides an open-air BBQ dinner twice a week, and at "Mizu," fish, meat, and vegetarian dishes are prepared live. Sushi and sashimi made from local fish are prepared and served at the "Kai" restaurant. Directly over the water, the "Ile de Joie" bar offers a selection of international wines and cheeses. The infinity pool, overlooking the Indian Ocean, is situated in the tropical garden area. Sunshades, loungers with cushions, and beach towels are provided free of charge.
