Naladhu Private Island Maldives will reopen this November, take a look inside

Naladhu Private Island Maldives is scheduled to reopen this November after the renovation.  The public areas and accommodations have been redesigned, including the two bedroom pool residence.  The two bedroom pool residence will reopen with its own 66-foot-long private beach.

The resort is being redesigned by New York based designer Yuji Yamazaki, with new sleeker furniture throughout and a lighter color palette creating a modern colonial Southeast Asian style. Yamazaki has focused on maximizing the number of spots around the houses where guests can have a moment of pause, ranging from ocean-side seating for breakfast to pre-dinner cocktails on the chaise lounge overlooking the pool. The restaurant, bar, wine cellar and gym are among the public areas receiving a complete new look. 

The resort’s two categories of Houses, each with 3,229 square feet of living space, are surrounded by tropical vegetation.  The Beach House with Pool has direct access to the white sands and lagoon, while the Ocean House with Pool and Private Beach Cabana has a large terrace with panoramic ocean views, in addition to its own dedicated cabana.

The jewel in Naladhu’s crown is the 6,458 square-foot Two Bedroom Pool Residence.  At the residence, guests can enjoy the views of both sunrise and sunsets with its pool and large deck facing the ocean, along with loungers, an al fresco dining area and a swing, and its new private beach offering direct access to the lagoon.

Dining

The resort will be expanding its no-menu dine anywhere concept, enabling guests to choose their favorite dishes and dining spots round the clock – whether it’s in The Living Room restaurant with views over the lagoon, a Champagne floating breakfast in the pool or moonlit midnight snacks on the beach. 

Activities

The resort will also be introducing some new experiences, including a snorkeling tour with the in-house marine biologist to see some of the island’s 2,000 species of tropical fish and sea mammals and to learn about the resort’s coral conservation program.

Sustainablity

Naladhu has started working with Parley Air to reduce marine plastic pollution and recycle plastic waste, plus all single use plastic has been banned on the island.
