White Sands Resort and Spa

Experience the Natural Gifts of the Maldives

 

 

This beautiful Island is a tranquil haven of azure blue waters and white sandy beaches, surrounded by the serenity of the Indian Ocean. A true sense of place is felt throughout the resort, which highlights the rich tapestry of Maldivian style and culture. The Island offers two villages, one on land and the other found on our own natural lagoon, both of which have been designed to compliment the surrounding environment. 

The Island Village offers simple quality accommodation just seconds from the warm ocean. While for the more discerning traveler, the Water Village provides beautifully appointed Over-Water Bungalows and Suites with direct private access to the lagoon. A myriad of activities and dining options are available for you to choose from and packages are provided to suit your needs whether they be on a room only, full board or all-inclusive basis.
