Stayed on Naladhu island for 10 nights in February 2026. Having previously stayed in Anantara Veli resort, we were keen to try the private island experience. We were certainly not disappointed. We loved the peace and tranquility of Naladhu whilst retaining the option to visit the other adjacent resorts of Veli and Dhigu. This meant a great selection of restaurants and activities were available to us across all three resorts. The team on Naladhu did everything possible to ensure a truly memorable stay. We will definitely return 😍

Naladhu private island is indeed a ‚private‘ island. We absolutly loved staying there. We had two ocean houses with connecting door & it was so beautiful falling asleep while listening to the waves coming in. Even we stayed there with kids, when most of the other guests were couples, we felt more than welcome. The food was excellent and all the staff is more than friendly and helpful. Special thanks to Ameen who took care of us during our stay. We gonna be back in future, that‘s for sure!

We had the most wonderful experience at Naladhu. The staff was truly amazing. Shameem the general manager, Mohamed our butler, falalu our house boy, servers Russell Hatim and Tinam. What an incredible staff always willing to help in any way possible. Everyone continued to check on us to make sure we were happy and in need of nothing. All day breakfast is truly wonderful, order as much as you like whenever you like. Have lunch at 2 pm. No problem. Request any changes to the restaurant menu with no issues. Very happy to make whatever you like if you don’t see something you like on the menu. The beachside villa is nothing short of incredible. If you are looking for a very private ultra luxury vacation. You have you will be very happy with a visit to Naladhu. We look forward to our next visit.

Another amazing trip to Naldhu - so peaceful and perfect for much needed relaxation. From our arrival to departure the service was faultless and every meal including those cooked to our request by the wonderful chefs was perfection, served by the friendly waiting staff who we enjoyed chatting to over breakfast and dinner. A special thank you to Russel and the rest of the team. The beach villa was kept beautifully by Falah, we were looked after by Mohamed who responded immediately to any requests and was attentive without being too much. It really is like “going home” and we look forward to our next visit.

I cannot praise the team at Naladhu enough. One is made welcome the moment one steps of the boat, the warm greeting on the dock carries through for the whole stay. The facilities are sat a very high standard and very well serviced. The chef excels at meal time and nothing is too much trouble in case you wishbone order off menu. The restaurant staff are outstanding going out of their way on special occasions such as birthdays. A special thank you to Evgeniia, who could not have been more attentive. A thank you to the manager, Ali. He has put together a first class team. We will remember our stay for a long time.
