Bodu Niyami Kalēfanu Resort

This resort's name might sound like a mouthful, but it's named for one of the myths well known by those native to the Maldives. Bodu Niyami Kalēfanu was a seafarer that traveled to the tree at the end of the world, to bring back fish to survive. As such, this resort was named after him. It's not a traditional island resort, but is similar to the kind often found in the Maldives. Instead of hotel rooms and suites, there are villas. There are some on the water, some on the beach, and some in the gardens. All of them are private, and there is a main lodge for the resort with a restaurant, bar, and the pool. It's a quiet little resort -- smaller than some, but no less nice.
