Naladhu Private Island

Naladhu, meaning ‘beautiful little island’ in the local Dhivehi language, is a tiny island that resonates with a classic beach house fantasy measuring just 123 meters wide by 180 meters long. Nestled amongst a cluster of stunning island gems on the island of Velighandu Huraa in the South Malé Atoll, the resort is located 30 minutes by speedboat from the international airport. Be captivated by the crystal-clear sea, emerald lagoons, and untouched islands that you'll pass along the way.

Each guest is welcomed as if they were at home, by their personal storyteller and guide, known as a 'Kuwaanu'.
