Description:
Wadiya means a beach clearing where fishermen come
ashore with their catch, and Max Wadiya fits that description
every morning when the simple catamarans come ashore on its
sandy beach. It consists of two villas with a total of five
bedrooms, set in an extensive garden scattered with coconut
trees and overlooking the turquoise Indian Ocean. The villas
are comfortably furnished with antiques and enhanced with
vibrant colours. Relax in a hammock under swaying palms or
have a romantic candlelit dinner by the sea.
