This luxury 5* resort is located on the private island of Kedhigandu and offers an all-inclusive 24-hour service, free Wi-Fi throughout the hotel, a wide range of cuisines and many relaxation and entertainment options. An 800-meter-long pier, lined with beautiful water bungalows connects the RIU Palace to RIU Atoll Hotel.
