Villivaru Island Resort is a landmark collaboration between Agon Developments and Janah International Holding (JIH), brought to life through Agon Capital's newly established; Villivaru Holdings. Strategically located just 30 minutes by speedboat from Malé’s Velana International Airport, the resort is nestled within the turquoise waters of the South Malé Atoll. This exclusive development comprises 61 luxurious villas and 11 private island estates, each designed to offer an elevated level of privacy, elegance, and curated experiences.
Poised to open in early Q3, 2028, Villivaru Island Resort marks Agon Developments entry into the Maldivian luxury market. Building on a proven track record in hospitality—through acclaimed UAE venues such as Gitano, BCH:CLB, and The Coterie, Agon brings a deep commitment to innovation, service, and lifestyle excellence. Strategic partnerships, including their involvement in Eden House with H&H, further emphasizes the brand’s ability to execute at the highest level.
Villivaru is conceived as more than a resort, it is a living, breathing sanctuary where architecture, nature, and service intersect in perfect harmony. Inspired by the island’s natural beauty, the design philosophy balances bold architectural expression with ecological sensitivity. Powder-white sand beaches, vibrant coral reefs, and jewel-like waters provide the canvas for immersive design that both respects and enhances the surrounding environment.
The resort’s aesthetic vision reflects Agon Developments' core values: a forward-thinking design ethos, emotional resonance, and cultural connectivity. From its spectacular overwater villas and beachfront retreats to the expansive Four-Bedroom Owner’s Residence, every detail is crafted to evoke privacy, sensory richness, and timeless sophistication. The 11 branded residences, complete with private arrival pavilions, in-villa spas, and sunset bars, redefine the boundary between home and haute hospitality.
Villivaru’s 10 dining venues - including 4 signature restaurants and 2 globally renowned culinary brands, further embody the resort’s curated approach to experience, offering everything from open-fire beachfront grills to refined Maldivian cuisine served overwater under the stars.
