Before you book

Is there snorkelling on the house reef, and what else is there to do?

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.

How does the spa work at Naladhu?

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.
