Alila Villas Hadahaa, Maldives
O
pened only last year, Alila Villas Hadahaa is everything you want
in a Maldives experience; a floating jewel amidst turquoise waters,
white-sandy beaches and tropical foliage. The resort's 14 aqua villas are
elevated over the lagoon and 36 island villas ­ 20 with private pools
­ feature two sides of private wooden deck where full-size windows en-
able uninterrupted integration with the outside environment. The private
tranquillity of the guest villas is matched only by the peaceful isolation of
the five Spa Villas, where you can take steam showers, enjoy an extensive
range of rejuvenation treatments or unwind in outdoor gazebos, tubs and
rain showers. Situated on a tropical island in North Huvadhoo atoll, also
known as Gaafu Alifu with transfers from Male by a 55 minutes speed boat
ride to the resort, all part of the experience really!
