We had an amazing stay at out Sunrise Water Villa and enjoyed the island and the hospitality of the staff to the fullest. It is truly a gemstone which sparkles through the Maledives. From the breathtaking views over the lagoon to perfect housekeeping, to sensational wine selection (Thank you Neema, you made a difference!) accompanying exceptional food. Not to forget a word class Exclipse Bar (Thank you Lathiah) for sunsets. What made the stay truly unique is the friendlyness off the staff and managers (Rashat, Puba, Arres and many others). Last but not least a warm thank you to Apekcha, our villa host, for organizing everything amd beiing there for us all the time. Thank you very much and see you next time!
