speedboat transfer tropical trees
The transfer from male airport was very well organized. The staff guided me to check in for both the domestic flight and speedboat. i especially liked the tropical trees and the hidden gardens dotted around the grounds. the housekeeper kept my villa super clean and the fridge replenished every day.
My beach villa was on the southern side of the island. Swimming there with constant waves proved slightly inconvenient.

fantastic experience
private pool tranquil beach easy snorkeling peaceful atmosphere
i stayed in a private pool room and it exceeded all my hopes. the beach adjacent to the room felt secluded and tranquil. swimming and snorkeling were readily available outside my door and i spotted reef sharks octopus numerous fish and a local turtle. the island offered a peaceful atmosphere upgraded with daily walks.
the island transfer involves a domestic flight plus boat trip so takes quite a while
