Like many guests who are fortunate enough to have discovered and subsequently stayed at Naladhu, we have been able to stay at many ‘widely accepted’ luxury and top end properties. Ahead of our stay, one checks the ‘trip advisor’ ratings and I was surprised to find a clean sweep of 5 stars! I have to say, I mind not what I pay however, I expect in return, a faultless experience (by and large, nothing in this life is perfect)! I have to say, deservedly so, Naladhu is a five star and faultless experience. We both utterly adored our stay. We will stay again in the latter part of the year I think. This is unusual for us, given there’s a vast array of fabulous places to visit in this world however, I’m not sure we can limit our recent trip to a ‘one off’ memory, it’s just too special!

It is very hard to fault this experience. The island is very quiet, private and exclusive. Only 20 bungalows all facing out to sea. Each served by a private butler or Kuwaanu, Mohamed literally could not no enough for us The Living Room restaurant provides the most exquisite dining including the best breakfast ever just on the edge of the beach. The island is in a collection of three, whilst guests from the other islands are not allowed to visit Naladhu, you can visit Veli, adults only accessible via a bridge and Dhigu, family resort, accessible via a 2 minute pontoon boat across the lagoon. There are numerous restaurants on the other islands and a water sports centre plus more. The beach is fantastic, the water is clear and warm. Each bungalow has its own private cabana, subbed, parasol kayak. Drinks and food are a WhatsApp to your Kuwaanu away.

We are blessed to have returned once again. Whether you chose the ocean villa or the beach villa.. the rooms are identical inside and beautiful. The service here is second to none.. each member of the teal lead by Shaaz the resort manager is there to ensure every need is taken care of. The restaurants on the two sister islands, Cumin, Sea fire and salt and also the tai restaurant are all excellent in cuisine and locations. The resort is kept immaculate and our special thanks to Salam and Bubba for taking such care of us as well as Ribba, Faya, Mica and the team I. The Living Room. Thank you all so much

Faultless! Naladhu was exceptional in every way. Shaaz, Aslam and the team took service to another level. We’ve stayed in some spectacular hotels and locations around the world but they’ve got the idea, surroundings and level of service and attention to detail down to a tee here. Don’t stay anywhere else. We had a truly wonderful time here.

Idyllic private beach resort. Friendly staff. Good food. All day breakfast. Pristine beaches and turquoise ocean. What’s not to love. We visited in November and the weather was perfect. The beach pool villas are amazing. Secluded but with direct beach access. Sobah in the living restaurant was helpful and friendly and IBBE looked after everything we needed during our stay, ensuring the fridge was full of corona beer at all times. Recommend the private island dining experience. The Wagyu steak was superb!snorkelling was a little disappointing at picnic island. But Definitely in our top 3 holiday experiences.
