RAH GILI Maldives
South Malé Atoll
A new South Malé island where water villas slide into the lagoon and spinner dolphins play offshore.
Why you’ll love it
Beach and water pool villas, the overwater ones with curving slides straight into the lagoon, and on the sunset side an upper deck for stargazing. Six restaurants and the Amrit pool bar include Tiffin, which serves dishes from India's great regional kitchens in traditional tiffin tiers, La Tavola over the water and Maakeyolhu for Maldivian cooking.
Families are well looked after, with two-bedroom villas and a children's programme, and the island sits beside a protected dolphin sanctuary.
