These pine chalets with their wide, shaded verandas offer a cool retreat at the end of an action packed day. Deck chairs are provided to sit on as you watch the sun go down, or relax and read in a quiet moment.

Inside, the chalet rooms are spacious and airy. A ceiling fan whirrs gently, and the room has a sitting area by the full window overlooking the veranda.

This is a small island with soft sandy beaches and a good house reef for snorkeling enthusiasts. A barbecue lunch will be served on the island. 
  
  

• Big Game Fishing
  The Maldives is the perfect place for a spot of fishing. After all the waters here are literally teeming with fish. Our morning fishing excursions take you trawling along the outer atoll, dragging a line on the surface for barracuda, wahoo and jack. Morning fishing is close to the reef, but in deep water. For night fishing we leave just before sunset and drop anchor near the reef. The relaxed fishing uses sinkers, and all you have to do is sit back and wait for the fish to bite. Big game fishing is another experience not to be missed. Using a rod, this is an exciting experience. Just wait and see who catches the biggest barracuda.
