House Reef
Resorts where the reef begins at your villa steps.
House Reef
A great house reef is the difference between a Maldives stay you talk about for a year and one you forget by the time you are back at work. House reef quality depends on the drop-off, the coral cover, and the marine traffic the reef sees - well-managed properties keep all three intact.
