NALADHU MALDIVES

Naladhu is a true tropical paradise – just as you’d imagined it to be:

The perfect moment begins with the perfect setting! This new exclusive island resort located on the island of Veligandhu Huraa in the South Malé Atoll, just 30 minutes by speedboat from Malé airport, promises superlative personalised comfort and service on a hideaway island, but with the added benefit of access to the dining and leisure facilities on neighbouring sister-islands Anantara and Bodu Huraa. Guests can choose to dine at the signature restaurant with showcase wine cellar, with personalised menus or opt for private house dining in your sala, on a private island or dhoni cruise. By day the PADI 5-star centre offers a full range of dive courses and excursions, or try traditional fishing with locals, private yoga classes or enjoy a spa treatment in your own ‘House’ – inspired by the rich natural traditions of the islands and surrounding ocean, a range of luxurious spa therapies to help unwind the mind and spirit.

Timeless design, idyllic views and a feeling of home:

Each of the 19 secluded houses that comprise Naladhu Resort Maldives incorporates timeless design, idyllic views and – unique to Naladhu – an unmatched feeling of home found nowhere else in the Maldives. Each house features free-flowing spaces that allow you to drift from one perfect moment to the next. From the expansive bedroom to the classic, intimate comfort of the dressing room, to the open-air bath, steam room and garden rain shower, out to the private plunge pool, gardens, multi-tiered hardwood deck and dining sala, your romantic Maldives vacation house abounds in space, beckoning you to explore and uncover the luxurious surprises around every corner.

Naladhu offers two romantic house types, each offering identical amenities and luxurious comforts, but with two distinct vantage points. Guests looking for their own stretch of pristine white beach will revel in the Beach Houses facing the tranquil beach and lagoon side of the island.  Meanwhile the Ocean Houses provide an evocative view over the rolling Indian Ocean, with hardwood deck stretching out into the lapping waves, and a live soundtrack of the tides creating a romantic symphony for your Maldives holiday.

Fine dining in paradise:

For those who wish to mingle with their fellow Naladhu residents while basking in the gentle Maldivian island breeze, The Living Room offers an alfresco dining experience overlooking the splendid lagoon. Dinners centre on a table d’hôte concept featuring the chef’s daily selection of inventive Asian and Western cuisines based on the daily market selection. A highlight of The Living Room is its featured wine cellar, perfect for informal wine tasting.

Satisfy tastes ranging from the classic to the eccentric, any time of day or night. Dine in privacy on your terrace, under the stars or the sun. Enjoy a villa barbecue, complete with your own chef and House Master. Or, for the true romantic, surprise your loved one and organise a Champagne Breakfast. Naladhu chefs also offer a variety of set dinners for every craving, including Thai, Indian, Maldivian and Western.

Beach picnics, intimate dinners and other unique personalised dining experiences can be arranged through your House Master, who will co-ordinate with the chef to bring you a uniquely personalised culinary adventure. Escape to a nearby desert island for a private beach dinner. Feast onboard an elegant dhoni, the traditional Maldivian sailboat, as you sail into the sunset. Naladhu chefs and staff can cater private parties, pre-dinner cocktails or afternoon tea in the comfort of your house. For the health conscious, guests can consult with the chef to discuss individual dietary requirements, spa menus or other special meal requests.

Enjoy local folklore nights by firelight in the coconut grove with the resident island historian – a Naladhu native for circa 80 years! A highlight of The Living Room is its featured wine cellar, perfect for informal wine tasting.

The perfect treatment for the perfect moment:

As the perfect Naladhu day winds down – or, as the perfect beginning – nothing beats unwinding in the privacy of your house with your choice of in-room spa therapies designed to pamper your body and restore your soul. An international team of expertly trained therapists are skilled in providing therapies that draw from the timeless wisdom of the ages and the best of contemporary holistic practices. Allow them to personalise the perfect treatment for the perfect moment.

Inspired by the rich natural traditions of the islands and surrounding ocean, a range of luxurious spa therapies are available to unwind the mind and spirit. Four-hand massage, herbal steam and alfresco flora bath are just a few. You’ll discover the rest.
