A Luxury Hideaway
The exclusive Constance Halaveli Resort emerges from the turquoise depths of the sea like a long forgotten land that has magically reappeared, and the Maldivian greeting of “Assalamu Alaikum” welcomes you to a new generation of luxury hideaways in the Indian Ocean.
Constance Halaveli Resort is cosily tucked into the North Ari Atoll of the Maldives. Perched over azure waters, it lies 20 minutes by seaplane and 90 minutes by speedboat to the west of the Maldives’ capital city of Malé.
Constance Halaveli Resort offers a wide range of exclusive accommodation that is both private and luxurious. The water villas, which appear to float above the ocean, are built on stilts to afford uninterrupted 360 degree views. Wooden decks link the villas to the “mainland”, where first class facilities offer a leisure experience second to none. Each of the 57 water villas, 20 beach villas, eight double storey beach villas and the exclusive Presidential Beach Villa has its own private plunge pool which is either situated on the beach or above the sea. Each of the rooms also boast a furnished terrace or balcony, satellite TV, DVD facilities, Wi-Fi internet access and a mini-bar and wine cooler with a selection of wines.
Aptly depicting Constance Hotels Experience’s philosophy that their resorts are built only in the most spectacular of locations, Constance Halaveli offers year-round sunshine and constantly balmy temperatures of between 29°C and 32ºC.
The Maldives offers a wealth of first-rate diving opportunities, and is widely regarded as one of the best diving destinations in the world. With visibility of up to 50 m, views beneath the surface promise a psychedelic encounter with abundant and varied aquatic life. Halaveli lies in close proximity to three of the best dive sites in the region. A team of onsite personnel are on hand to train novices and accompany the more adept.
For the definitive “relax and recharge” getaway, you can while away your days at the infinity pool, take yoga classes or soothe your senses and nurture your body, mind and soul at Le Spa de Constance.
More sporty guests can choose from diving, fishing, tennis and non-motorised water sports such as pedal boating, windsurfing or kayaking. At an extra fee, sunset cruises in a dhoni (traditional Maldivian boat), desert island trips, dolphin search tours, visits to local villages, traditional night fishing, private boat hire, waterskiing, knee-boarding, wake-boarding, banana boat rides, diving (PADI), and tennis lessons are also available.
The resort’s three restaurants offer a fusion of East and West, as well as international cuisine. Asian dishes with a European twist serve to tantalise the taste buds, while a wide selection of “melt in the mouth” seafood will have you coming back for more.
In a nutshell, this unique hideaway promises to redefine the concept of luxury.
