‘An island to call your own’, exclusive private retreats at Naladhu Private Island Maldives

The setting: a boutique hideaway of poetic beauty – white sands, coconut palms, the jewel-toned colours of the Indian Ocean. Your time on the island – utterly bespoke, luxurious and timeless. Naladhu Private Island Maldives promises extraordinary getaways for the jet-set elite, with buyouts of the entire island for the ultimate in exclusivity and privacy.
The preferred Maldivian getaway of royalty, celebrities and Fortune 500-ers, Naladhu is the perfect backdrop for a corporate retreat, milestone birthday or destination wedding. Your journey begins with a cruise to shore by private yacht, day or night, alternatively zooming across the waters with a 35-minute speedboat transfer from Velana International Airport.
Your butler is there to whisk you to one of only 20 houses dotted across the island. Each house merges seamlessly into the landscape, whether on a secluded stretch of beach or perched over the ocean. The space — 300 sqm of space — includes a 12.5m infinity pool, dining area and bathing pavilion, with a colonial aesthetic complemented by high-tech and customised amenities. Guests of honour are housed in the Two-Bedroom Pool Residence, the epitome of island living, with an oversized pool overlooking the ocean and spa treatment suite.
Your stay can be as tranquil or filled with excitement as you wish, whether multi-day wedding celebrations on the beach, banquets in the midst of a candlelit grove, or live performances at water’s edge complete with fireworks. Our dedicated event planners create extraordinary experiences for every stay, with entertainers and hair and make-up artists ready to fly in from around the world.
Culinary journeys are exquisite, with a team of chefs working around the clock to create perfection. Each meal during your stay is made to order and served up in any location of your choosing – on the deck of a yacht, by the infinity pool, in-house, or in the 24-hour restaurant, The Living Room. Alternatively, fly in your own chefs and ingredients and the kitchen is at their command.
Explore the most beautiful of surroundings with bespoke daily itineraries. At Naladhu, the ocean is your playground, whether sailing into the horizon, snorkelling with mantas and sharks, diving into kaleidoscopic reefs or surfing the waves. Stop to picnic on sandbank or under the stars. Return to the island for tasting sessions with the Wine Guru and indulgent spa treatments in-house.
Tailor the island to your stay, customising every space with corporate branding, personal mementos or wedding decor. Throughout your stay and the planning process, an expert team of planners are on call and ready to serve. Reserve your private island experience now and create your own timeless moments.
Buyouts start from USD 50,000 nett per night. For more information, contact a member of the Naladhu team by emailing sales.amd@anantara.com
