- Dive by day, celebrate with us at night ✨ South Ari Atoll a unique dive area as manta rays are seen all year. Manta Point, just 45 minutes by boat from Villa Park, is a gathering point for mantas as they come to feed on the plankton-rich waters now, between December and April. Look out for the golden trevally's here too: these brave yellow fish with black stripes often lead the way and swim in front of large pelagic fish or sharks for safety against predators and easy feeding.

Our beans are sourced from the most remote coffee plantations around the world yet freshly roasted right here on the island... quite simply the best in the Maldives. #VillaNautica #VillaResorts
