Full Description

At the Dhoni Mighili in the Maldives, not only do you get your own Dhoni (Maldivian sail boat) for cruising around and island-hopping, but you also have your own luxurious Beach Bungalow. It's the perfect holiday combination.

Reached by a 30 minute seaplane flight from Malé Airport, the resort is set on a private island in the beautiful Ari Atoll. Your luxury Dhoni is brightly furnished with wood floors, bedroom, sitting room and a large soft daybed up on deck. It also comes with your own butler and crew. So all you have to do is lie back in the sun and tell the crew where you want to go, or just to cruise around and show you some islands, while you let the butler serve you ice cold drinks and delicious snacks. Your Beach Bungalow is elegantly furnished, has all modern amenities, alfresco shower, a walled garden and terrace. Or why not upgrade to one with its own courtyard and plunge pool.

The Aquum Spa has enough Thai massages, organic facials, exotic body wraps and other treatments to keep you pampered for days. Watersports include windsurfing, sailing and kayaking, as well as snorkelling expeditions and diving with personal instructors. The restaurant's chef creates sumptuous menus every day, with fresh seafood and an excellent choice of international dishes. This really is a holiday where you can enjoy the best of all worlds.

DHONI SLUMBER:
There are only six luxuriously appointed, fully air-conditioned Dhonis, each partnered with its own intimate Beach Bungalow with an outdoor bathroom and waterfall showers.

These 65 ft traditionally handcrafted Maldivian sailboats are the epitome of simplistic elegance. The Dhonis have both the tradtional ivory sail and motor. Sail or cruise – the choice is yours.

The bow of the Dhoni is inviting with its large, soft
daybed to laze in the Maldivian sunshine. At night your Thakuru will transform the deck into a sensual setting for dining under the stars.

An inviting king size bed with Frette linen and goose-down duvet graces the beautifully decorated cabins. They also boast SMEG kitchen appliances, Philippe Starck bathroom fittings, a sunbathing deck and silk cushions in an array of natural tones. In-cabin entertainment includes a 20” LCD screen with Bose DVD Surround Sound Theatre.

With their rustic charm, these thatched bungalows, set amongst luxuriant tropical foliage and facing the pristine lagoon, engage all of the senses.

The Bungalows are fully air-conditioned, have an overhead fan, espresso machine, private bar, outdoor dining setting and a Bose surround sound system with an Apple ipod.

The luxury bathroom is graced with L’OCCITANE EN PROVENCE amenities and a bathtub surrounded by shimmering metallic slate. Each Beach Bungalow opens
