Avelina Maldives

Avelina Maldives occupies an entire private atoll in the North Malé region, accessible only by seaplane or private submarine. The resort's signature structure is the Abyssal Restaurant — a fully submerged dining room encased in panoramic glass, where guests dine surrounded by the living reef as manta rays glide overhead. Twenty-four overwater villas and eight beach residences are connected by a network of timber walkways, each villa equipped with a private infinity pool, an outdoor bathtub open to the stars, and a personal island host. The resort's marine conservation centre offers guests the opportunity to participate in coral propagation and sea turtle rehabilitation.
