Ellaidhoo, North Ari Atoll
Satellite imagery cannot be colour-graded or shot from a flattering angle, which makes it a better guide to an island than anything a resort will publish — the real beach, the real reef, and exactly how close that neighbour is: 4.0059, 72.9493
Island, atoll, rooms and operator from the Ministry of Tourism register (2026-08-17). Rooms are licensed capacity, not marketed villas. Coordinate from the LiteAPI hotel catalogue, checked against the register's atoll. Distances are straight-line, computed here; the journey is longer.
Nearest runway other than Velana is Maamigili (VAM), 61 km away. Trans Maldivian Airways does not list a seaplane transfer here. They are the largest operator but not the only one, so that means we cannot show you a route, not that none exists.
Runway positions from OurAirports.
From the booking-platform record, not the resort. A short list of the things that change a decision — confirm anything you are relying on.
From the resort’s own published terms. This is where an all-inclusive plan usually stops meaning what it sounds like.
A lower "Standard All Inclusive" tier also exists (house-brand alcohol by the glass, draught beer, house wine, soft drinks/juices, package cocktails, tea/coffee); Premium adds Wi-Fi, a welcome bottle of sparkling wine, premium alcohol and cocktails, fresh juices/espresso, a choice of two excursions, two special events, a beach dinner, a 60-minute spa treatment and use of sports facilities, and requires a minimum 5-night stay. Source is the resort's own in-room guest welcome pack (PDF), not a public sales page, but published by the resort itself with the same claims found on its rooms/dining pages.

Transfer
25-minute seaplane. Cost not published on the resort’s own site.
The resort's own welcome pack gives both options with no cost for either: seaplane "App. 25 minutes" or speedboat "App. 90 minutes" (both "depending on weather condition"), 42km from Malé. A same-day combined transfer can be arranged for international flights arriving before 3:15pm and departing after 9:30am.

Room categories
The Beach Bungalow (Ocean View) and the overwater Water Bungalow both publish the identical 79 m², same King bed and same "Up to 3 adults and 1 infant" occupancy on the resort's own rooms page — recorded as published rather than resolved as a possible templating error.
Source, checked 2026-09-28.
Children
Children accepted. Not stated as a standalone policy, but the resort's own rooms page lists child and infant occupancy for several categories (e.g. "Up to 2 adults, 1 child, and 1 infant"), which is inconsistent with an adults-only property.

Rates and reef condition are still unverified. What is shown above is either public-record arithmetic or the resort’s own published terms, never a review. How we source things.
