TRAVEL & RESORTS
Recreational spaces are designed to encourage socialisation , from the showstopping 150-metre pool that takes pride of place in the central piazza on the island , to dining concepts such as The Hawkers – a flavoursome and upscale three-armed open kitchen that sits poolside and serves up mezze-style dishes – encouraging sharing and a sense of conviviality . A rare find in the Maldives , Kuda Villingili ’ s Cigar Lounge is a warm , cosy space , designed to imbue a sense of old-world charm while retaining the resort ’ s signature timeless elegance . The leather décor , darker brown tones and rustic textures create a sophisticated atmosphere , perfect for sipping a dry whiskey with a cigar in one hand and a good book in the other .
