Introducing the Ocean Pearls at Jumeirah Dhevanafushi Maldives

Jumeirah Dhevanafushi, Jumeirah Group's first property on the Maldives and an exclusive all-suite resort, announces today the opening of the Ocean Pearls, a cluster of water villas located 800 metres from the main island, suspended on platforms above the sea and entirely self dependent.
