If you’ve ever wanted to be lost on a deserted island in a far off place of the world, Island Hideaway is an ideal spot. Located in the remote Haa Alifu Atoll in the north Maldives, this luxury boutique resort is built on the virgin island of Dhonakulhi, a crescent-shaped isle large by Maldivian standards.

The ample space allows Island Hideaway to offer its guests the largest and most secluded beach villas of any resort in the area – a privacy premium for guests who desire undisturbed relaxation. Most of the island was left untouched during building and thus, the island is lush and spectacularly beautiful.

The resort is a rustic celebration of nature, with custom-made, hand-finished natural materials used throughout. Additionally, due to the unique coral formation around the island, the resort boasts a state-of-the-art, fully equipped marina. The intricate coral expanses also offer guests some of the most untouched snorkeling and diving spots around.

Island Hideaway’s exceptional levels of attention to detail are obvious in the residencies as well as the restaurants, spa and service – in fact, its butler service receives some of the highest reviews of any resort in the Maldives. This is a place to really relax and get away from the stresses of everyday life.
