Quick notes and booking tips

• “Private beach” can mean different things: many resorts mean a private stretch of beach directly in front of your villa or a garden that screens your villa from neighbors; it doesn’t always mean no other guests can walk past. If you need full exclusivity, request beachfront villas with enclosed gardens or book whole‑island/estate options. (maldives-magazine.com)
• Villa category matters: look for names like “Beach Pool Villa”, “Beach House/Residence”, “Private Residence” or explicitly “private island”/“private estate” when you want maximum privacy. (Resort pages above show the category names.) (oneandonlyresorts.com)
• Ask the resort (or your travel agent) to confirm: whether the beach is exclusively for that villa, whether neighboring villas have direct sightlines, and whether any public or day‑visitor access to that island is allowed. For truly private use, consider private‑island or residence bookings. (velaaprivateisland.com)

If you want, I can filter this list by budget (luxury vs mid‑range), by atoll (North Malé, Baa, Noonu, etc.), or by travel logistics (seaplane vs domestic flight + speedboat) and give a short comparison — I can also pull direct links to the exact villa categories you’d likely want.
