Relax on the rooftop bar, savor a meal in the open-air restaurant, and enjoy moments on this remote and beautiful island where time feels as though it stands still.

With a bold vision to reduce its carbon footprint, the resort invests in renewable energy sources and energy-efficient technologies. Through eco-friendly initiatives such as water recycling and sourcing local materials, The Majlis not only minimizes its environmental impact but fosters a deep connection to the land and its people.
