Hideaway is the island we suggest when space matters more than a short flight. The villas are big by any standard, each with a private stretch of sand, and the Signature Collection turns the top end into a private estate with its own restaurant. Families get a floating aqua park, a kids' club and 24-hour babysitting; couples get the glass-floored Ocean Villa with Pool. Budget 75 minutes by seaplane, or fly to Hanimaadhoo and take the boat.
Who it suits
Families, multi-generational groups and couples who want privacy and room to spread out. Less suited to anyone who wants a short transfer or a small, social island.
