It is not expensive, compared to the branded resorts of Maldives. In here you will not be surprised by a big bill for extras. For example; the telephone and fax charges are possibly not the cheapest of any resort. Windsurfing and canoes are free and so are sunset fishing, tennis (with Flood LIT), badminton and bowls. And Maldivian staffs are ready to enjoy a game of volleyball with any willing guests.
- Leisure Activities
Enjoy walking along the beach, at Mathiveri Finolhu Island looking out at the wonderfully turquoise lagoon and feeling the soft white sands beneath your feet. It is an excellent trip for a couple as it ensures full privacy on a little island in the Indian ocean, similar to a Robinson Crusoe setting. Also it is an ideal setting for an aperitif at sunset. Full and half day trips are organized regularly by Nika.
