Naladhu

The apotheosis of castaway living, Naladhu Maldives is an intimate resort with just 19 cabana-style houses each with an infinity swimming pool and House Master service, the island equivalent of a butler. Set on the island of Velighandu Huraa, with as much or as little privacy as you wish, great cuisine and a wide selection of activities makes this a very special.

Naladhu means ‘beautiful island’, an understatement for the turquoise lagoon, shining sand and swaying coconut palms. The level of personal attention is outstanding and the accommodation stunning with a private garden and a delightful open-air bathroom with a bathtub facing the ocean.

Start your day with yoga or a snorkel around the lagoon. Then return to enjoy an Ayurvedic massage or a tasting course with the island’s chefs. Sail a traditional dhoni to watch a school of dolphins and dine on freshly caught seafood before gathering under the coconuts for story-telling by the island chief.

OCEAN HOUSE
Providing totally unobstructed views of the jewel-blue waters, an Ocean House is the ultimate choice for privacy and tranquility. With a hardwood deck stretching out right over the water, you will be lulled into total serenity by the gentle lapping of the waves breaking over the reef below. Each Ocean House has the additional pleasure of a private Cabana located on the beach, which can be used for lounging and massage during day or dining in the evening. As with the Beach House, each Ocean House is a symphony of style with elegant hardwood furnishings, cool tones and contemporary ambience. The decadently appointed al-fresco bathing pavilion with terrazzo tub for two, waterfall shower and private steam room is shaded by bougainvillea and frangipani and gives way to the private 32sqm infinity-edge pool. Every modern convenience is at your fingertips including Wi-Fi capabilities, Bose home surround theatre system, LCD satellite TV, in-room iPod and CD player, private wine cellar, gourmet mini bar, espresso machine and private library.

BEACH HOUSE
Capture your own stretch of pristine white beach and revel in 300 square meters of exquisite space and luxury. With identical facilities in both Ocean Houses and the Beach Houses, your only decision is which of the perfect views and settings you prefer. A Beach House faces the tranquil beach and lagoon side of the island and is surrounded by lush tropical vegetation to provide a cocoon of privacy. A small step on to the beach reveals the vista of the Indian Ocean you have imagined in your dreams. Each House is a symphony of style with elegant hardwood furnishings, cool tones and contemporary ambience. The decadently appointed al-fresco bathing pavilion with terrazzo tub for two, waterfall shower and private steam room is shaded by bougainvillea and frangipani and gives way to the private 32sqm infinity-edge pool.
