Safari Island Resort & Spa Maldives
Safari Island Resort & Spa occupies the entire island of Mushimasgali in North Ari Atoll, a 25-minute seaplane flight from Velana International Airport. The island measures approximately 800m x 300m, circled by a pristine white-sand beach and a vibrant house reef accessible within meters of the shore.
The resort features 162 villas across five categories: Beach Villas, Beach Villas with Pool, Water Villas, Water Villas with Pool, and two-bedroom Family Beach Villas. All villas blend contemporary Maldivian design with modern amenities, including open-air bathrooms, private terraces, and direct beach or lagoon access.
Dining is a highlight with three restaurants and two bars. Maalan Restaurant offers extensive international buffets with themed nights. Bokkura specializes in fresh seafood grills on the beach. Safari Restaurant serves Asian fusion cuisine overwater. The all-inclusive package covers meals, selected beverages, snorkeling gear, and non-motorized water sports.
