North Male Atoll, Five Star Hotels, Angsana, Banyan, Soneva Gili
The North Male Atoll offers a good choice of idyllic resorts, a convenient thirty minute or so speedboat ride from the capital and airport.
Stretching for about 50km, the North Male Atoll was the first area developed in the Maldives, claiming the largest number of well established luxury resorts and close to the capital. It’s also home to 10 000 Maldivians yet every five star hotel is a perfect tropical hideaway, as pristine and beautiful as the most remote island.
White sands and swaying palms, coral reefs minutes from the shore, the North Male Atoll is a glimpse of paradise in the Indian Ocean. It’s a place to swim among shoals of colourful fish, sail, dive, explore the reefs or play volley ball on the beach but the essence of every resort is pure relaxation. This is as near as it gets to life on a desert island, with luxurious accommodation, fine dining and impeccable service to top it all.
Angsana Ihuru, Maldives Luxury Resort
The Angsana Ihuru in the North Male Atoll has 45 villas opening onto the beach, including 20 Deluxe with open air jet pool. All have private garden, veranda and Maldivian swing, and a relaxing minimalist décor, favouring lime green, tangerine and yellow. Visitors sip exotic cocktails while watching turtles, enjoy a tasty blend of Asian, Mediterranean and Maldivian cuisine in the Riveli or indulge in private dining on the beach.
The spa boasts an extensive range of treatments from vitality massage to tropical fruit wash, Ayurveda, facials and body polish. Top to Toe for ladies is the ultimate treat, combining all Angsana spa signature therapies.
