The Alila Villas Hadahaa by SCDA Architects

Based on an array of beautiful scenery, the Alila Villas Hadahaa island resort in the Maldives is the perfect place for a relaxing vacation. Designed by SCDA Architects, the amazing retreat welcomes its guests with a surprising collection of inside and outside spaces. Featuring 16 Island Villas, 20 Island Villas with a private pool, and 14 Aqua Villas, the retreat complex is the first luxury resort in the Gaafu Alifu (North Huvadhoo) Atoll in the Maldives’ new southern frontier.

Offering tranquillity and relaxation, the resort had to be constructed to take advantage of tropical climate conditions: “rainwater harvesting and waste treatment plants were implemented; and special green design elements include high roofed areas and open ceilings, cross ventilation in all indoor spaces, deep roof overhangs, and window shading. The Island Villas create an intimate setting for relaxation and are only a short sandy walk to the azure waters of the house reef. The 14 stilted over-the-water Aqua Villas allow guests to retreat into the endless horizon of the Indian Ocean.”
