Request a quoteAyada Maldives sits on a private island in the Gaafu Dhaalu Atoll in the far south of the country, one of the most remote and least developed regions of the Maldives, 55 minutes by domestic flight and 25 to 50 minutes by speedboat from the local airport.
The resort offers large villas with private infinity pools, eight dining outlets covering Teppanyaki, Mediterranean fine dining, pan-Asian, and an overwater wine and cheese cellar, alongside the multi-award-winning AySpa. Organic produce from an on-site garden features across all restaurants, with local farms supplementing the kitchen’s supply through the year.
Ranked number one on TripAdvisor and a Traveler’s Choice 2025 winner, Ayada sits at the top of the Gaafu Dhaalu Atoll offering, with an activity program covering sunset cruises, excursions to inhabited islands, and a full watersports and diving operation.
Eight venues span overwater European cooking at Ocean Breeze, Teppanyaki at Mizu, pan-Asian at Kai, poolside barefoot dining at Zero Degree, and a themed international buffet at Magu.
Sea Salt is a beach barbecue running every Tuesday and Friday under the stars. The Ottoman Lounge serves traditional Turkish coffee and tea, and Ile de Joie is an overwater wine and cheese bar 100 metres above the lagoon.
AySpa spans 3,500 sqm with eight private treatment villas, each with a steam shower, outdoor sunken bath, and waterfall shower. The facility holds the Maldives’ first Vichy shower room and a private Turkish Hammam.
A relaxation area with heated and cold plunge pools, steam rooms, and separate male and female saunas completes the offering.
Remote Gaafu Dhaalu Atoll diving, a full watersports centre, surf program, fishing trips, and excursions to inhabited local islands cover the water-based side.
On the island, a Secret Garden, exotic animal encounters, and the Zuzuu Kids Club give Ayada a character that goes beyond the standard Maldivian resort activity program.
The entry-level villa at 101 sqm, set within tropical greenery at the southern end of the island, with a private veranda, garden hammock, large bathtub, and outdoor shower.
The only villa category without a private pool, well-suited to guests prioritizing seclusion over water access.
Beachfront villas on the white sand with a private freshwater plunge pool, wooden deck, and butler service. Direct beach access in under 30 steps.
Contemporary Maldivian interiors and a furnished terrace throughout.
Overwater villas above the lagoon with ocean hammocks, a private plunge pool, and views across the open horizon.
Positioned on the resort’s uniquely shaped jetty to maximise sightlines and minimise villa-to-villa visibility.
A larger overwater suite facing west for sunset views, with a master bedroom, living room with glass floor panel, additional bathroom, pantry area, and a large sundeck with direct lagoon access and a jacuzzi plunge pool.
A strong upgrade for couples wanting more space and the sunset position.
