Located on its own island, North Ari Atoll, 48 miles west of the Maldives’ capital of Male, the hotel features 56 palm-thatched chalets.

Designed to blend naturally with the surrounding environment, each chalet is furnished and decorated in a modern tropical style that captures the essence of the island country and has a sea facing veranda.

The resort houses a refined restaurant, a spa, a dive center and numerous water sports activities, including windsurfing, canoeing, kayaking, water-skiing, catamarans and pedalòs.

The restaurant will offer grilled local fish, a variety of pasta and pizza dishes and traditional Maldivian recipes. Bhuvana Spa, the brand spa of Best Western, will offer therapies that use selectively blended ingredients to help revive the mind, body and soul.
