The villa features brightly colored murals hand-drawn by local artists, depicting the epic story of the two lovers Dhon Hiyala and Alifulhu, full of splendour, magic, and wild creatures from the deep blue sea. To add color to the beach view, artist Mohamed Auzam (aka Keyolhu) hand-painted a circular pool inspired by “vevu,” the low traditional baths used by our forefathers.
Guests can also enjoy the ‘Gifili’ graffiti wall, which adds a modern twist to traditional Maldivian bathrooms.

The resort hopes to provide guests with a culinary experience they will remember for the rest of their lives through fine art and movement. “Samaasaa,” which means “the action of providing or being provided with amusement or enjoyment” in Dhivehi, encapsulates the restaurant’s goal perfectly.
Raa Baa
Raa Baa, located near the main pool, is the ideal place to spend an entire day lounging, playing games, or swimming. Guests can relax and enjoy the tropical atmosphere with a simple snack food menu available.
