From swimming with gentle giants to indulging in a farm-to-fork dining experience amidst lush treetops, Villa Park Sun Island is a haven for adventure and relaxation.

Swim with Gentle Giants

One of the most awe-inspiring experiences offered at Villa Park is swimming with whale sharks. The South Ari Atoll is one of the few places in the world where these majestic creatures can be found. Dive into the pristine waters and embark on an extraordinary journey as you swim alongside these gentle giants. 

Additionally, the island is home to other large fish including tuna, barracuda, snapper, grouper, and Napoleon Wrasse. Overhangs are adorned with soft coral and sharks, sting rays and eagle rays swim along this reef or are seen cruising 30m below sea level. Villa Park takes you on a boat to the best spots, allowing you to witness these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat.

Pot Tub

For those seeking tranquillity and restoration, the Kawa bath or “pot tub” provides a deeply rejuvenating experience. Lit by a warming fire, this ancient bathing ritual soothes tired muscles and nourishes the soul. Immerse yourself in the Kawa bath either in the early morning or during the enchanting evening hours, when the flickering fire creates a romantic glow. 

You’ll find solace in this private oasis, surrounded by fragrant petals and aromatic herbs. With twinkling candles suspended from the trees, the ambience is truly magical. Listen to the meditative soundtrack of the jungle and the sea as you retreat, reflect, and breathe deeply.
