Fodor's Expert Review Constance Halaveli Maldives

A short speed boat trip from its sister resort, Constance Moofushi, Halaveli is the slightly grander, older sister. Shaped like a dhoni (Maldivian traditional boat) Constance Halaveli curves its elegant way along perfect beaches amid palms and indigenous greenery in the North Ari Atoll. Stroll along the longest boardwalk on a Maldives island to your water villa; stay on terra firma in your exclusive beach villa, or if you want to bring the whole family and be totally incognito, opt for an exclusive family beach villa with its own private beach—so private that not even the most determined paparazzi or mother-in-law could find you. Dig deep into your pocket and splurge on a wine-pairing dinner at the Jing Restaurant, where cool breezes will fan your appetite as you raise a cocktail to the stars; or breakfast or dine at your leisure in the attractive sand-floored Jahaz Restaurant. Visit an underwater wonderland when you snorkel or dive along some of the finest coral reefs in the world. Don’t miss the early evening fish-feeding off the end of the jetty, when rays, sharks (not Great Whites), and all manner of amazing marine creatures come for snacks.
