Overview
The couple-conscious Naladhu Private Island promises luxury unparalleled. Just a 40-minute speedboat ride from Male, this intimate resort has been kept intentionally small, leaving the natural beauty of the Maldives front and centre. There are just 20 spacious villas to choose from, either on the blissfully white sands of the beach or facing the ocean, complete with private pools, swinging daybeds and sunken bathtubs for pampered holidaying. Offering a fully immersive private island experience, guests will have access to an exclusive on-island restaurant, cooking school and a fitness centre while other facilities are just a boat ride away at sister resorts, Anantara Dhigu and Anantara Veli.
