In a change to the typical traditional thatched villas, Jumeirah Maldives brings a visual feast of nautical forms and tones to its over-sized one-, two-, and three-bedroom penthouse-style villas.

Set either on the beach or over water, each is crowned with a magnificent private 120-square-metre roof terrace – an elevated deck five metres above the giant house lagoon. Barbeques, an ocean-view rooftop bar, private cinema, yoga plinth, starlight romantic dinner and outdoor games help create the ultimate private sky lounge; while three restaurants and two bars including Shimmers Beach Club, Glow, Kayto and Café Lounge, plus the overwater Talise Spa and kids' club complete this gorgeous picture.
