Sitting on an idyllic private island in the Haa Alifu Atoll, the Beach House at Manafaru Maldives is surrounded by a colorful coral reef that beckons for diving and snorkeling adventures.

The Beach House’s well-appointed villas, both beach and over water, enjoy the use of their own private pools, along with the services of a butler who will tend to guests’ every need. Traditional Maldivian style is celebrated in architectural details from the open-air en-suite design to the thatched roofing.

Gourmet meals, prepared by the Beach House’s international chef, are available at the resort’s three delightful eateries – the Four Corners main restaurant; Medium-Rare, an international grill; and Saffron, serving Asian fusion fare – or can be enjoyed beachside or served on the romantic over-water pavilion.

The resort’s Shui Spa is surrounded by lush tropical vegetation and features treatment rooms dotted intermittently throughout the dense foliage. A must-try treatment is the Chocolate Extravagance package, which consists of a chocolate butter massage, chocolate-almond body scrub, a floral bath and finishes with a white chocolate moisturizer and a steaming cup of cocoa.
