Naladhu Private Island, the exclusive luxury island resort in the Maldives, has closed for six months for a complete renovation and is due to relaunch in November with an impressive new look and feel. The resort will undergo a total redesign with all the accommodation and public areas including the restaurant, bar, wine cellar, spa room and gym receiving a complete new look.

  • Located in the South Malé Atoll, Naladhu is just 30 minutes by luxury speedboat from Malé's international airport
  • Naladhu is home to just 20 keys, offering the ultimate in privacy and seclusion
  • New York based designer Yuji Yamazaki is redesigning the resort, which will reopen with a modern colonial look
  • The resort's top suite, the Two Bedroom Pool Residence, will have its own 20 metre private beach
  • Butler service is offered Naladhu-style by a Kuwaanu, meaning 'storyteller/guide' in Dhiveli, the Maldivian language
  • Each Ocean House will have its own private beach cabana, so guests also have the option to relax on their superking-sized day bed on the beach and enjoy drinks and snacks delivered by their Kuwaanu
  • Naladhu will be expanding its no-menu dine anywhere concept, enabling guests to choose their favourite dishes and dining spots round the clock
  • The resort will be renewing its focus on wellness with a new dedicated spa treatment area including a double treatment room and bathing and changing area, plus a resident Naturopath and Nutritional Therapist
