★★★★☆
This is a seaplane only transfer island so make sure you consider hours of operation when booking your flights to/from Male. We had the misfortune of using SriLankan Airways, based on times of arrival - NEVER AGAIN! Anyway, upon arrival you are immediately hit with the magic of the colours of the sea and white sand. There are lots of excellent facilities on this island and the dive centre (Ocean Dimensions) is excellent. I am a newly qualified diver and they were super-friendly and helpful in making this a brilliant diving experience. We had a water villa and the views from the doors, whilst lying in bed, are just brilliant. Be aware that it is quite tidal so the depth of water as you descend the steps into the sea can be quite variable and it is very rocky so sea shoes are a must. The food in the all-inclusive restaurant was very good, varied and tasty. We didn't bother with the speciality restaurants for this very reason. The bar make excellent cocktails too!
