Naladhu Private Island Maldives  

On a private island in Naladhu, South Malé Atoll — about a 35-minute speedboat ride from Malé International Airport. This beachfront luxury resort sits steps from Bodu Hurraa, Gulhi, Biyadoo and Embudu beaches.

Just 19 beach and ocean houses dot the sand, each with cool whitewashed interiors and a house master on hand. Villas and residences feature private pools, patios or balconies, deep soaking tubs, rainfall showers and spacious living areas (some rooms reach ~300 m²; two-bedroom pool residences ~600 m²). Expect in-room perks like minibar, TV/DVD, bathrobes and elegant touches throughout.

Soak in private pools or the resort outdoor and indoor pools. Retreat to the full-service spa for massages, steam room and sauna treatments. Stay active with a fitness center, yoga area, diving club and water-sport options. Family-friendly extras include kids’ playrooms, a library and picnic areas. Guests can also access additional island-hotel facilities by short boat ride.

Complimentary wired and wireless internet and a computer station keep you connected. 24-hour reception, concierge services and on-site laundry/press help with logistics; wedding services and airport transfers are available on request.

Four on-site restaurants serve international and regional flavors, from modern fusion to Thai and Maldivian specialties. Dine at The Living Room, grab snacks at the café, or sip cocktails at the poolside bar. 24-hour room service is available for late-night cravings.
