We had the most beautiful stay at Naladhu. From the moment we arrived, the staff treated us with such genuine warmth and care — they made us feel at home instantly. The kids’ club was amazing. Our children were so happy there, always welcomed with a smile and engaged in fun, creative activities. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were safe, entertained, and truly enjoying themselves. The food was exceptional every single day — fresh, delicious, and full of variety, even for the kids. Naladhu is a stunning place, but what makes it unforgettable is the atmosphere the team creates. We left with such beautiful family memories and can’t wait to return.

Level of welcoming and hospitality is very high. The team was great and made our holiday very enjoyable and relaxing during our stay. The villa is always clean and tidy. Diversity of food options considering the possibility of visiting the restaurants on other islands and the Chef offer to cook whatever we desire. The whole team have been nice and supportive especially Evgeniia who made our experience smooth by arranging activities and taking care of everything. Many thanks to the other team members, Shameem, Shuaib and restaurant team for their kindness as well.

From the moment we stepped off the proverbial merry-go-round 🎠 and onto Naladhu Private Island, we were reminded why this place feels less like a resort and more like a dream you get to live in. Thank you for welcoming us back with such warmth, thoughtfulness, and genuine care. Returning here feels like coming home — a place where time becomes elastic, sleep is deep, and you wake feeling completely renewed. Life gently shifts into a rhythm where the biggest decisions of the day are remembering how to program your dive computer and counting how many sharks you spotted on your morning dive. It was so lovely to see familiar faces and meet new ones. Every team member contributed to making our stay exceptional. The staff couldn’t have been more attentive, and the Aquafanatics dive and boat crew were outstanding. A heartfelt thank you to: • Aslam, our chief butler, for his exceptional care • Aly, our wonderful house boy • Mostafa, our fantastic dive instructor • And Shaheem and the entire team — thank you 🙏🏽 We are deeply grateful for the privilege of spending time in such a serene and beautiful corner of the world. Naladhu will always be our sanctuary — a place to breathe, reset, and simply be.

You no longer have to die to experience heaven. Just go to Naladhu. From the first coconut welcome to the last barefoot breakfast, everything felt effortlessly perfect. Mohamed, our island guardian, has mastered the rare talent of appearing exactly when you need him and disappearing the moment you think “ah, peace.” That’s not service, that’s intuition on a tropical level. In The Living Room, where we spent every day surrendering to fine dining perfection, Chef Achraf leads with quiet brilliance. Jose’s ceviche is pure art, probably the best on earth, and Arnab’s steaks could make any carnivore believe in miracles. Evenings came alive with Andrea’s warmth and radiant smile, her graceful calm turning dinner into something unforgettable. To Fareeh, Hatim, Faya, Dilshan and Ibba, thank you for your kindness, laughter and genuine care. You made every meal feel like coming home, only better. The sunrises from our villa were the most beautiful we’ve ever seen, as if the Ocean Spirit itself was breathing light into the day. We fell asleep each night to the sound of the waves, the ocean’s steady breath beside us, and woke up grateful that paradise truly exists. And somewhere between the calm rhythm of the ocean and the quiet perfection of every detail, you can feel Shameem Ali’s gentle leadership — as if he and Kaddaru, the ancient Sea Cow Spirit, work side by side to keep the island’s magic alive. We are leaving sun-kissed, blissfully unhurried and enchanted.
