The Island Hideaway at Dhonakulhi Maldives, Spa Resort & Marina is a new luxury boutique resort situated on the privately-owned uninhabited virgin island of Dhonakulhi, North Maldives, Indian Ocean. The resort was opened on 1st August 2005 with 6 types of spectacular guest villas. Our marina is the first of its kind in the Maldives. The Island is a haven of peace, tranquillity and serenity. The Island Hideaway is one of the very few resorts (currently 3) in the Haa Alifu Atoll.The whole resort is well set up for families. Most of the rooms are more than large enough, there is a play centre attended by young female staff who also babysit (and the butler, of course, is happy to help), there are kids' meals, a kids' pool, and a large shallow lagoon ideal for swimming and water sports. And as all unpowered water sports are free of charge, this is perfect for families for playing around together.Snorkelling is reasonably good and is easily accessed on one side, just off the beach by the big swimming pool. This is actually a narrow channel much used as a short cut by dolphins and many other of the big plagics, including occasional mantas. Manta season here is between September and January when, at a feeding station 15 minutes away, hundreds at a time have been experienced.
