LOCATION:
This new
resort unites great design with a raft of leisure facilities,
and is next to the Maldives’ best dive sites.
This private
island resort, just a 30-minute seaplane flight from Malé,
is due to open in May 2008. With a prime diving site on its
doorstep, four kilometres of uninterrupted sandy beach and
architecture and design by two of the greatest names in the
business, Diva Resort & Spa is set to become one of the
stars of the Maldives. |
ACCOMMODATION:
Beach
Villas
The
Beach Villas are as attractive as the Beach Pool Villas, with
larger gardens but without individual swimming pools.
Water
Villas
The
gentle, shallow waters of the lagoon lap the steps of your
exclusive Villa, as you sit reading, sunbathing or taking
an outdoor shower in complete privacy, or simply gazing at
the wonderful expanse of sea or the neighbouring islands from
your own private terrace. Beautiful Maldivian wood flooring,
Egyptian cotton sheets and Pierre Frey fabrics from Paris
give bedrooms a warm and luxurious feel. The décor
has been inspired by the lagoon, with touches of turquoise
and shades of beige and ochre, offset by motifs of sea life
that bring the ocean setting dramatically to life.
Beach
Pool Villas
The
sunsets from the west-facing Beach Pool Villas are sensational
– and there is a view of the lagoon and sunset even
from the bed itself.
The
rooms, with their luxurious en-suite bathrooms, are pure elegance
and the extensive use of local wood for the floors and fittings,
as well as the Pierre Frey fabrics from Paris, give an added
warmth.
The
décor is subtle and elegant, with sand and ochre colours
that echo the beautiful sandy beach, just outside.
Junior
Suites
All
the Junior Suites look out to sea and are near to the sea
on both sides, as they are located on the narrow ends of the
island. Each Suite has a bedroom, en-suite bathroom, terrace
and private garden area.
The
designer has used dramatic orange touches to give the Suites
a warm, sunny feel, further enhanced by the use of local wood
for the bedroom floors and terrace decking.
Even
the stylish bathrooms, with their sunken terrazzo baths, look
out both over the garden and towards the sea. |
HOTEL
& RECREATIONAL FACILITIES:
Diva Resort
& Spa gives a warm welcome to groups and incentives and
