A contemporary all-villa island in the far north of North Malé Atoll, where every villa has its own rooftop terrace and infinity pool.
Jumeirah Olhahali Island is a secluded natural island in North Malé Atoll, about 55 minutes by speedboat from Malé. It's an all-villa resort in a clean, contemporary style inspired by Olhahali's history as a gathering place.
Every one-bedroom villa, on the beach, over the lagoon or facing the ocean, has a private rooftop terrace, a 7-metre infinity pool, indoor and outdoor showers and a separate living area. For families there are two-bedroom beach and water residences and two three-bedroom retreats of up to 997 m², one with its own yacht dock.
Each stay comes with a personal host. Kayto serves Nikkei food, Shimmers is Greek and Mediterranean, Glow is international and Café Lounge does coffee and pastries, and there's the overwater Talise Spa, a 24-hour gym, the Jumeirah Circle kids' club and a dive and water-sports centre.
It's about 55 minutes from the airport by speedboat. The cheapest rate is non-refundable; the flexible one costs about a quarter more.
