Larger beach and ocean residences provide additional space for families and groups. Dining spans a range of island settings and cuisines. Kakuni serves international favourites and themed dinners, White Orchid offers contemporary Japanese dishes and teppanyaki, and Ocean Grill specialises in seafood and grilled dishes by the beach. Guests can also dine at Andiamo Bistro beside the Jungle Pool, enjoy drinks at Veli Bar, or book an intimate dining experience in The Cellar. Kuri offers Maldivian-inspired treehouse dining. Calm Spa Sanctuary provides spa rituals and wellness experiences, complemented by yoga classes. Recreation includes reef diving, a lagoon pool, tennis and a futsal pitch.
