South Malé Atoll · Veligandu Huraa
An intimate, ultra-private island in South Malé Atoll with just 20 all-pool, colonial-inspired houses, each carrying a 24-hour butler.

2 adults + 1 child · Private 8m infinity pool · Ocean-facing beachfront, with a private beach cabana

The island's only two-storey house, 600 sqm across two floors, with the largest pool on the property at 12 metres.

Naladhu Private Island holds just 20 colonial-inspired houses across four categories, each with a private infinity pool, a private garden, and a 24-hour butler. Dining moves from The Living Room's all-day fusion menu to butler-arranged Residence Dining in the house, and on to Intimate Dining staged wherever the occasion calls for — under palms, on a deserted beach, or a private island — with its own chef and sommelier.
Twenty houses, each with its own pool and butler, and Intimate Dining staged under palms, on a deserted beach, or a private island for the two of you — Naladhu is built around privacy for a pair.
Every house takes at least one child alongside two adults, and the two-bedroom categories stretch to two or three — a private pool and a private beach cabana do a lot of the entertaining, though there's no dedicated kids' club on the factsheet.
Diving and wreck exploration sit alongside windsurfing, kitesurfing, waterskiing, kayaking, parasailing and deep-sea fishing on the activities list — guests wanting a full watersports programme, not just a swim off the beach, are well served.
Fusion · Breakfast · lunch · dinner
All-day dining with lagoon views — fusion plates and a list of rare vintages after dark, a simple breakfast by the water each morning.
Thai, Indian, Maldivian and European, from The Living Room's kitchen · Breakfast · brunch · dinner
Meals from The Living Room's own chefs served wherever suits you — a poolside breakfast or brunch, or a starlit dinner set on your terrace, all arranged through your butler.
Bespoke, chef's choice · By arrangement
A dedicated private chef, butler and sommelier stage the occasion wherever you choose — under palms, on a deserted beach, or on an island of your own.
Ayurvedic Treatment
Ayurveda-rooted treatments — shirodhara, dosha-based facials — led by an on-site Ayurvedic specialist as a named modality distinct from a generic massage.
Big-Game Fishing
Offshore trolling, jigging and popping for marlin, tuna, sailfish and dorado — a different boat and crew from the sunset hand-reel trip.
Cooking Class & Culinary Workshop
A hands-on cooking class or mixology session led by one of the resort's own chefs.
Destination Private Dining
A private meal on the beach, in a villa, a garden or an overwater deck, arranged by a private chef and butler outside the resort's own restaurants.
House-Reef & Guided Snorkel
A guided swim over the house reef, off the beach or a short boat ride out, with private, night and beginner variants at resorts that run their own dive centre.
Kayak, SUP & Sailing
Kayak, stand-up paddleboard, sailing dinghy, windsurfing and kitesurfing — the wind- and paddle-powered end of the watersports centre, bundled as one booking.

Malé · speedboat, 30 minutes · Veligandu Huraa, South Malé Atoll
Naladhu sits in South Malé Atoll on Veligandu Huraa, a 30-minute shared speedboat transfer from Velana International Airport, arranged within two hours of landing. IMJ confirms exact timing as part of booking.
Just 20, across four categories. The 13 Ocean Houses and 6 Beach Houses share the same 180 sqm indoor / 120 sqm outdoor footprint and an 8-metre private infinity pool — the Ocean House adds sunrise views and a private beach cabana that the Beach House doesn't have. Every house also carries a private garden, a steamroom, and a 24-hour butler.
The Two-Bedroom Ocean House with Pool (2 units) sleeps up to 4 adults and 2 children across 360 sqm indoor, 240 sqm outdoor, with the same 8-metre pool as the standard houses. The Two-Bedroom Beach Pool Residence — the island's single two-storey house, 600 sqm in total — sleeps 2 adults and 3 children and has the largest pool on the island at 12 metres.
Three: The Living Room for all-day dining with lagoon views and a fusion menu paired with rare vintages; Residence Dining, where The Living Room's chefs prepare Thai, Indian, Maldivian or European meals for a butler-arranged poolside breakfast, brunch, or terrace dinner in-house; and Intimate Dining, a bespoke occasion under palms, on a deserted beach, or on a private island, with your own chef, butler and sommelier.
The factsheet lists snorkelling and diving on the resort's reefs among its on-site activities, alongside sailing and surfing lessons. The watersports list runs further — windsurfing, kitesurfing, waterskiing, kayaking, parasailing, deep-sea fishing, wreck exploration, and scenic seaplane flights — plus an air-conditioned fitness centre, a cooking school, a 17-metre lap pool, and Coconut Grove for petanque and hammocks.
There's no separate spa reception to book through — treatments are arranged directly with your butler, from a massage taken to the sound of the tide on the beach to longer spa journeys inspired by Ayurveda and traditional Thai, Balinese and Western therapies.
