Hotel information
This private island boutique resort is a haven of peace and privacy, perfect for a romantic honeymoon or special celebration.
With a family policy welcoming children over 9-years-old, the island has a very grown-up feel, with a laidback luxury vibe and a focus on personal service. Set within a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, the design of the resort showcases the stunning natural environment; encircled by a coral reef and white sand beach. Your private villa enjoys 180-degree views of the Indian Ocean and you can take a dip in the house reef to swim alongside manta rays and whale sharks.
The 50 villas and residences boast their own freshwater pool and are designed to reflect traditional Maldivian architecture. A dedicated 24:7 Island Host will welcome you to the island and guests also have the use of the private airport lounge when they arrive into Malé.
When you can bear to leave your private villa, there’s the over-water spa as well as complimentary daily yoga and meditation sessions. A superb selection of watersports is also available.
Room Options
Your villa is more than a retreat. Step into a space where handcrafted details, natural textures and soothing tones create a world open to the sea breeze. Here, your private pool and sun deck are yours alone, ensuring every moment feels personal, undisturbed and intimately connected to island life.

Suspended above the Indian Ocean, you’ll wake up in your Water Pool Villa each morning to endless blue horizons. With 245 square metres of open-plan living, a king-size bed and a private infinity pool on your expansive sundeck, you’re always just steps from the lagoon and the vibrant house reef. Little touches like a tropical rain shower and a deep bathtub create a haven of space and light.

Sustainability Initiatives & Responsible Tourism
At Milaidhoo, you can adopt your own reef. The coral regeneration programme aims to increase the coral reef in the area by planting and watching it grow over the years. On top of this, there are also guidelines in your villa, so you understand the importance of protecting the coral reef during your visit. With the waters also home to a vast marine life population, the hotel supports and works with local charities such as The Manta Trust and Manta Matcher. There’s a sustainability plan in place that’s measured and updated annually to ensure continued progress, and all laundry uses eco-friendly chemicals. From the most important matters down to the small details, Milaidhoo aims to conserve and protect its unique location in the UNESCO world biosphere reserve for years to come.
