An 81-villa South Ari island that became Outrigger in 2022, refurbished 2020. The standout is year-round whale shark snorkeling — the resort sits inside the South Ari Marine Protected Area, one of the only places on earth with confirmed year-round whale shark sightings. Lonubo, a deserted sandbank 200 m away, is bookable as a private day or dining experience.

Where this resort sits across the dimensions that matter most when choosing a Maldives property.
Choose Your Villa
Eighty-one villas across five categories — 56 overwater and 25 beach. All sit on the compact, triangular 350-metre island. The overwater line-up includes three sub-variants with pool, hot tub, and sunset orientation. The Two-Bedroom Beach Villa with Private Pool is the largest option at ~184 sqm. Lonubo private island is a 200-metre day-trip experience, not a villa.
