Voavah

Welcome to Voavah, a private island sanctuary in the Maldives where ultimate luxury meets unmatched exclusivity.

Imagine a 5-acre, 7-bedroom island retreat within a UNESCO-protected ocean territory reserved entirely for you. This is Voavah – the world’s first private-use UNESCO hideaway, a beautiful resort in the Baa Atoll Biosphere Reserve. It’s a place to unwind, celebrate, explore, and dream without limits.

The heart of the island revolves around the two-story Beach House, encircled by pristine sands, a dazzling lagoon, and vibrant reefs. Relax in the open-air lounge, dive into crystal-clear waters, or swim alongside turtles, reef sharks, and colorful fish. Rejuvenate at The Ocean of Consciousness Spa, host a moonlit banquet, or throw a poolside party under the stars. Hop aboard your private yacht, Voavah Summer, and explore nearby wonders like Baathala’s protected waters, the manta-filled Hanifaru Bay, hidden sandbanks, or the westward serenity of a spectacular Baa Atoll sunset.

Voavah invites you to create your own experience, whether bonding with loved ones, chasing adventure, or finding peace. Dive with sharks, snorkel with mantas, or embrace the thrill of kitesurfing, jet-skiing, and X-jetblades. For divers, there’s the opportunity to explore wrecks, get certified, or become a Master Scuba Diver. Families can share moments that span generations, from building sandcastles and racing hermit crabs to picnicking on secluded sandbanks and marveling at dolphins.

This island is also a serene retreat for meditation and wellness, with overwater yoga, spa therapies, and visits from acclaimed well-being masters. It’s an inspiring setting for business retreats or exclusive celebrations, where every detail is perfectly tailored. Whether you’re here to relax, connect, or commemorate life’s milestones, Voavah promises absolute privacy, limitless freedom, and moments you’ll never forget.

At Voavah, privacy is a priority. Every detail is designed for exclusivity from CIP services upon arrival in Malé to your VIP seaplane transfer. Your stay will be secure and uninterrupted with 24-hour security, CCTV, and a single entry point. Whether arriving on a commercial flight or private jet, we ensure a seamless journey to your secluded paradise.
