Naladhu Private Island Maldives

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.

booked at last minute for a quick vacation, and it was fantastic. quite private island nice beach and the villa is on high level of privacy. food is delicious and elegant. it is were you go to clear your mind, your hearing and your sight. our KUWANNA “host” EVGENIIA was the most helpful and attentive host. She definitely was the best. THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO FOR A VACATION

Team was perfect , location, food are outstanding. Very nice for relaxing Thanks a lot Mohamed for your outstanding focus and hospitality

A fantastic location if you are searching total relaxation and total calm. Lovely small island but still with access to the other Anantara restaurants at Dhigu and Veli. All day breakfast concept in The Living Room means no rushed starts. On this short holiday we ate in The Living Room and Baan Huraa both of which lived up to expectations. New chef in Living Room is a winner. Service is fantastic throughout but special mention to Ali Shameen (a great new addition as resort manager), Evgeniia (just generally fantastic and makes sure our stay is perfect), Andrea (really nice to connect with her, particularly as we share some Dubai roots) , Fadia in Baan Huraa (such a lovely person and was great to see her again), and Faya (always good service in The Living Room). Great to see Ali Visam as well at the water sports - first met him 10 years ago and great that he is still there. Even a rainy day is a great day when you stay here. Loved every moment….and will definitely be back !!!

Our stay at Naladhu Private Island was absolute perfection from start to finish. The moment we arrived, we were welcomed by the amazing Manager, Mr. Shameem, and our private butler Eugenia, who made sure everything throughout our stay was effortless and personalized. A special thank-you to Mr. Shameem whose kindness, professionalism, and genuine care made our stay exceptional. He was always present with a warm smile and made sure every detail was perfect, which truly elevated the entire experience. The island itself is stunning — peaceful, intimate, and beautifully maintained. Our House was luxurious and completely private, with breathtaking ocean views and an infinity pool that felt like our own little world. We loved the first tea tasting held in the resort with and by Mithun, which turned into such a unique and relaxing experience. We hope you can establish the extra wellbeing note in this unique resort. The meals in the living room hosted by Fareeh, Fayaz, Dilshan, Andrea, chef Achraf and his team were another highlight — delicious food, impeccable service, and such a warm atmosphere. The surfing experience with Leo and Flori was the greatest ever!!! We would surely com more than once if you guys stay there for more years :-) The spa treatments with Chanya was simply the best we’ve ever had — deeply relaxing and beautifully done. The Thai restaurant and the steak house had delicious food and are highly recommended! Every person we met at Naladhu went above and beyond to make us feel special. The attention to detail, genuine care, and natural beauty of the island made this an unforgettable stay. Thank you to everyone at Naladhu for creating memories we’ll treasure forever. We can’t wait to come back!
