Amari Havodda Maldives marks the launch of the Amari brand in the Maldives, bringing its signature warm Thai hospitality to the Indian Ocean paradise.

Here are a few reasons why the Amari Havodda Maldives could be a dream tropical trip in 2016:

1. A magical arrival
Imagine arriving in paradise, on one of the most preserved atolls in the archipelago with blue lapping waters and white sands. This feeling will be encapsulated upon arrival at Amari Havodda Maldives, where the team will be ready and waiting to welcome you. Travelling to Amari Havodda Maldives on the Gaafu Dhaalu Atoll is very simple. From Male International Airport (Ibrahim Nasir International Airport), take a 55-minute flight to Kaadedhdhoo Domestic Airport, followed by a 10-minute speedboat transfer to the resort, all of which will be arranged by the hotel.

2. Natural wonders
Designed under the theme ‘natural simplicity’, there’s no better destination to get back to nature and take time out from the constraints of everyday life set against a picturesque turquoise backdrop. Before the resort was constructed, the natural reef areas surrounding the island were identified and protected to minimise the environmental impact from the development. Guests can now experience the spectacular preserved coral zones through guided snorkels and dives.

3. Peaceful slumber
Choose between the two principal villa categories – Beach Villas and Overwater Villas, each featuring subtle hints of traditional Maldivian art and architecture. Guests can sample the quintessentially Maldivian accommodation option of Overwater Villas, built on stilts over the crystal clear waters, for an unforgettable night’s sleep and incredible views to awake to. The Duo Villa Experience Package offers the chance to experience both the Beach and Overwater Villas, and starts from just 574 USD per night.

4. Dreamy spa
Amari Havodda Maldives’ Breeze Spa promises a full day of relaxation and rejuvenation with fun and relaxing treatments. Located in a lush garden setting, there are six treatment pavilions and calming water features. A nail and hair salon is also available on the island for complete pampering.

5. Family fun
Simply bask under the Maldivian sun interspersed with a cooling pool dip, complete with a children’s pool area, or for those looking for a little more adventure, Amari Havodda Maldives features a fully equipped Dive Centre providing all the equipment needed for underwater exploration. There is also a Water Sports Centre, featuring a large variety of equipment for fun overwater activities. For island-hopping, snorkelling, sailing or night fishing, the resort offers safe and memorable experiences with boat excursions. Meanwhile, sports enthusiasts can enjoy an all-weather multipurpose tennis court and a beach volleyball court to work up a sweat, before enjoying a dip in the waters.

6. Culinary concepts
Amari Havodda Maldives is brimming with a host of facilities comprising a number of culinary options with international and Asian flavours, including the Amari signature all-day dining restaurant, Amaya Food Gallery, which is designed with open kitchens inspired by well-loved street foods of Asia. Round off a truly memorable day with creative cocktails around the main pool deck at the Thari Bar, and watch the sun slide from the horizon.
