Paguro Villa: Il Gioiello Nascosto dell'Atollo Settentrionale delle Maldive

Nestled on the pristine shores of Ukulhas Island in the North Ari Atoll, Paguro Villa represents a refreshing alternative to the Maldives’ ultra-luxury resort scene.

This intimate seven-room boutique guesthouse offers travelers the opportunity to experience the breathtaking natural beauty of the Maldives while enjoying authentic cultural immersion and exceptional value. For those seeking the perfect balance between comfort, authenticity, and affordability, Paguro Villa presents a compelling proposition that challenges conventional notions of Maldivian luxury.

Your Accessible Ukulhas Island Paradise

The journey to Paguro Villa begins with a scenic 90-minute speedboat ride from Malé International Airport, transporting guests across the crystal-clear waters of the Indian Ocean to Ukulhas Island. This small local island, approximately 1 km in length and 200-400 meters in width, has gained recognition for its environmental initiatives, becoming one of the Maldives’ pioneering eco-friendly communities.

" The moment you step off the boat onto Ukulhas, you're greeted by the genuine warmth of Maldivian hospitality. We've created an environment where guests can experience the natural splendor of the Maldives without the artificial constraints of a resort setting. " Ahmed, Property Manager
