Accommodation
Enchanting and natural private villas, over the water or on the beach, have all the discreet luxuries and freedoms of modernity – personal villa hosts and the most sensuous bathrooms semi-open to the sky. On 15 October 2005, the resort emerged from an extensive four-month refurbishment, with Water Villas completely renovated and Beach Villas enhanced using natural materials that blend seamlessly with the stunning natural landscape.

One&Only Kanuhura offers 100 villas and grand villas in five different types of accommodation, each surrounded by the breathtaking natural beauty of the Indian Ocean, and each catering to the individual needs and desires of guests:

68 Beach Villas
5 Beach Villa Duplex
2 Grand Beach Villas
18 Water Villas
2 Grand Water Villas

Beach Villas
Nestled peacefully along the shores of this pristine island hideaway are the resort’s Beach Villas. Each commands its own piece of sandy shore with views of the wide blue ocean. These villas feature comfortably stylish furniture, expanded wardrobes and sliding glass doors leading to the terrace and beach.

Beach Villa
The 68 Beach Villas are dotted on the island's coral sand fringe. Each with a bedroom area and windows looking out to sea, a large open-air bathroom with a stone bath and outdoor shower, dressing room area and a decked terrace leading to a private stretch of beach, thatched umbrella and long wooden sun loungers. Lush foliage between the villas provides privacy.

Beach Villa Duplex
The five duplexes comprise two beach villas joined together and are perfect for families or friends travelling together. Each bedroom has its own outdoor area, en suite bathroom and connecting doors between the bedrooms, allowing for privacy. Additionally they offer a large beach front and separate decked verandas.

Grand Beach Villa
The two Grand Beach Villas are the largest of all the resort’s accommodation, and were recently fully refurbished with teak wood floors and deck throughout, floor-to-ceiling glass doors, and new furniture, fabrics and dressings designed with traditional materials which retain the authentic, natural Maldivian charm of the resort. Each features two bedrooms, one with King-size bed and the other with two single beds; two spacious bathrooms with free-shaped whirlpool bath and outdoor shower; living room/dining table; kitchenette; veranda and a wide beachfront. A home-away-from-home atmosphere especially ideal for long-staying guests, families and those seeking total privacy. (188m2/2,023ft2)

Water Villas
Stretching from the centre of the island, a long wooden bridge leads guests to the resort’s Water Villas. Captivating and romantic, they feature a large outdoor deck creating generous space for sunbathing and alfresco dining. The most
sensuous over-water bathrooms, semi-open
to the sky, envelop guests in natural comfort with freeform stone bath and outdoor shower.

Here, set above the crystalline blue waters of the Indian Ocean, guests discover the true meaning of paradise.

Grand Water Villa
Spectacular in design and sumptuous in style, the two Grand Water Villas are set on sun-drenched stilts over the lagoon. Individually designed and furnished, these villas feature a spacious bedroom, separate living room and large sun deck. The crystal waters of the lagoon shimmering below are easily accessed by a private staircase.
