The Essence of Our Design
Envisioned by acclaimed architect Cuneyt Bukulmez of Turkey-based Atolye4N, the resort is a thoughtfully designed sanctuary that harmoniously blends modern elegance with the spirit of Maldivian heritage. The arrival jetty, inspired by the graceful flight of the Maakana—the great grey heron—sets a serene tone upon arrival. Each of the resort’s 80 private pool villas draws inspiration from traditional ‘Gedhoru’ island homes, featuring thatched kajan roofs and signature turquoise doors that open to immersive island experiences. Throughout the resort, subtle tributes to Maldivian artistry—like the vibrant hues and patterns of handcrafted lacquerware—create a sense of place that is both authentic and elevated. Designed to inspire mindful connection and effortless balance, the resort is a refined escape where nature, culture, and comfort exist in perfect harmony.
