The Gaafu Dhaalu Atoll, in the south of the Maldives, is a breathtaking sight to behold. One of the largest and largely untouched atolls in the country, it is just 30 km from the equator. Its location promises awe-inspiring natural experiences above and below water, connecting you to the beauty of our planet.

Set on the exclusive 15-hectare private island of Magudhuva in the Gaafu Dhaalu Atoll, Ayada Maldives offers a secluded paradise with uninterrupted views of the azure waters, verdant foliage, and pristine coral reefs. This remote location ensures absolute privacy and is a haven for water sports enthusiasts. The resort's unique setting and luxurious amenities make it a standout choice for discerning travellers.

Ayada Maldives offers a truly luxurious retreat in true Maldivian style. Enjoy 8 restaurants, villas with private infinity pools and an award-winning spa.

You can reach the resort from Male by combining a domestic flight to the Huvadhoo Atoll and a subsequent boat trip, which takes around 1.5 hours. A resort employee will wait for you at the arrival gate in Male and accompany you on your transfer.
