On The Beach Maldives
About venue
Located directly on the beachfront on the peaceful island of Dhiffushi, On the Beach Maldives is an intimate boutique venue featuring just seven beautifully designed rooms. Available for exclusive buyouts, it offers retreat leaders complete privacy and the freedom to create a truly personalised experience for their guests.
Wake up to the sound of the Indian Ocean, practise yoga just steps from the beach, enjoy meditation at sunrise, and end each day with spectacular sunsets over the turquoise lagoon. The relaxed atmosphere, crystal-clear waters, and direct access to Bikini Beach create an inspiring setting for wellness retreats, yoga holidays, mindfulness programmes, creative workshops, and small group gatherings.
Dining is an experience in itself. The beachfront On the Beach Hut Restaurant serves fresh Maldivian, Italian, and international cuisine prepared with locally sourced ingredients, including freshly caught fish delivered daily by local fishermen. Menus can be tailored to suit retreat programmes and dietary preferences, creating nourishing meals that complement the overall wellbeing experience.
From the moment guests arrive at Malé International Airport, the team provides personalised assistance with transfers, excursions, and every detail of their stay. Warm, attentive hospitality and a genuine connection to the local island community create an authentic experience that goes far beyond a traditional resort holiday.
Whether you're planning a yoga retreat, wellness escape, creative workshop, corporate wellbeing programme, or a private group gathering, On the Beach Maldives offers the rare combination of exclusive use, beachfront tranquillity, authentic Maldivian hospitality, and personalised service—creating a destination where meaningful transformation, connection, and unforgettable memories naturally unfold.

Located in Thaa Atoll, 185 km south of Malé, the capital of the Maldives, Buruni Island is a small paradise where nature, culture, and local traditions intertwine naturally.
With about 400 inhabitants, the island hosts a lively and welcoming community: the local council, municipal police, a health center with a resident doctor (emergency care), an ATM dispensing local currency, a pharmacy, bars and mini-markets, a school, mosques, a small gym accessible to residents and guests, a recreation center with games, as well as football and volleyball fields. Buruni is not a tourist island, but a place where you can immerse yourself in Maldivian daily life, discovering its authenticity and simplicity.
Surrounded by palms and lush forest, with pristine coral reefs and snorkeling just a short swim from Bikini Beach, the island offers unforgettable experiences for those seeking nature, relaxation, and adventure. Discovering Buruni Island also means learning stories like that of Dhon Hiyala and Ali Fulhu, iconic figures of Maldivian folklore, and being enchanted by local traditions.
