Naladhu – Maldivian for “beautiful island” – is set on Velighandu Huraa in the South Malé Atoll, a coral-fringed hideaway that exudes luxurious intimacy. With just 19 villas in the boutique resort looking out to the emerald lagoon, guests are lured into a sense of bliss while enveloped in their own private sanctuaries.

Each secluded residency is contemporary luxe, with hardwood decks and a private infinity-edge pool as the perfect vantage point for stargazing or toasting a picture-perfect sunset. Inside, the free-flowing spaces and timeless design encourage relaxation and induce a feeling of home.

A house master (butler) ensures the details of your stay are perfect. Unwind at the end of the day in the house’s own private steam room, or schedule a pampering spa service to enjoy on the sun-bleached deck.

With its cuisine, Naladhu takes every step to cater to its guests’ cravings. Experience al fresco dining in The Living Room, which overlooks the sparkling lagoon, or take advantage of the in-room or personalized dining options to enjoy a meal anyplace – aboard an elegant dhoni, on the beach for a picnic, or even a champagne brunch in your spacious bedroom.
