The Beach Pool Villa sits right on the white sand of Mahaanaelhihuraa, so you can walk from the bedroom straight onto the beach. At 171 sqm, it gives couples a private pool of around 20 sqm, a shaded deck to lounge on and plenty of room to spread out.

Inside, the design mixes bohemian touches with clean, modern lines. There is a king bed (plus a sofa bed for a third guest), a walk-in closet, an outdoor shower and a coffee machine, and Wi-Fi works throughout the villa. Mornings start with sunlight on the pool, and at night the sound of the sea is about all you will hear.

Every villa comes with an Edhurun, the personal host who replaces a front desk at RAH GILI Maldives and takes care of dinner bookings, spa times and excursions. The island is about 40 minutes from Velana International Airport by speedboat, with no seaplane to connect with. Makani can book the whole trip from Dubai, Abu Dhabi or anywhere in the UAE, including flights, transfers and meal plans.
