The route, plotted.

1Malé → the atoll

Seaplane to nowhere

A scenic seaplane skims you to the resort; an overwater villa, a chilled welcome, and the first toes-in-the-lagoon evening.

Snorkel off the deck

A guided house-reef snorkel, a long lunch, and an afternoon doing precisely nothing of consequence.

A picnic for two, alone

A boat drops you on a private sandbank with a hamper and an umbrella, and comes back for you when you’re ready.

A last slow day

Nothing planned but the lagoon, a final dinner on the sand, and the stars with no light for miles.

Common questions

How do your planning fees work?
We charge a flat planning fee that compensates the research, supplier relationships, and design behind a custom trip — from $350 for a focused getaway to $1,500+ for a complex multi-country journey. The fee is partially or fully credited toward your trip when you book through us, per your engagement letter. Fees are earned once design work begins and are non-refundable.
Do I need travel insurance?
We strongly recommend it on every trip and require it for remote or expedition travel. A good policy covers trip cancellation, interruption, medical emergencies, and evacuation. We’ll always explain your options and what a policy does and does not cover, but we are not insurers and the final choice is yours.
