Noku Maldives, Vignette Collection by IHG  

On a single island in Noonu Atoll, about 45 minutes by seaplane from Malé. The resort curves across a turquoise lagoon with a reef steps from shore and quiet that comes from genuine distance.

Fifty villas split between 20 tucked-in beach villas and 30 overwater villas with direct water access — most with private pools. Expect a breezy, modern vibe, island-grown produce, and a cultural focus that keeps Maldivian traditions close. Thirty-four dive sites and a swim-across lagoon put snorkeling and diving within easy reach.

Spa and fitness center, private villa pools, a picnic area, and easy access to the house reef for snorkel mornings. Seaplane transfer is available to and from Malé, and practical services include laundry, dry cleaning and a concierge.

Free on-property Wi‑Fi keeps you connected while you work between dives or meetings.

Two restaurants and two bars set the tone: Palms for morning starts and relaxed evenings with Maldivian and international plates, and Thari digging into Indian and Sri Lankan flavours. Much of the cooking leans on island-grown produce for fresh, local tastes.
