Naladhu, the Maldives
Since its grand opening in the Maldives last year, the six-star Naladhu has firmly established itself as one of the world’s most exclusive and luxurious resorts.
Naladhu, meaning “pretty little island”, is situated on a private island ringed by coral gardens and vibrant marine life and promises a unique and unrivalled experience to those who appreciate the finer things in life. Coupling traditional Maldivian architecture with Thai-based interior design, Naladhu has captured the elegant style of a slightly colonial era, with hints of Sri Lankan regality in its design.
There are just 19 beachfront and ocean houses occupying a spacious 300 square metres, each with a lofty white-gabled roof, expansive glass panelled doors and generous living, dining and bedroom areas. All houses feature a private swimming pool, teak sun terrace as well as landscaped garden. Ocean Houses also boast a private beachfront champa, where guests can relax and unwind and even have a massage to the sound of the ocean. All houses also have a fridge stocked with delicacies such as foie gras and vintage cheese, an espresso machine and a wine cellar pre-stocked according to personal preferences.
Naladhu aims to provide and pamper guests with unsurpassed quality and service. That’s why each house has its own personal butler to cater to guests’ every whim. From making restaurant bookings or organising an in-house spa treatment to collecting dive equipment from the resort’s PADI dive centre. Guests are given just one number on arrival, as a hotline to pure luxury and relaxation. Guests have the choice of dining under an open canopy of the stars in their house Sala, or in the comfort of the Living Room restaurant. Naladhu also offers many unique private dining, options perfect for couples, such as dining aboard a local dhoni (Maldivian boat) or on the Wave Breaker dining platform above the ocean.
