Milaidhoo
Intimate and stylish, at Milaidhoo it is about enjoying the natural environment in absolute luxury. This stunning small island sits in the remote Baa Atoll; the Maldives only UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve, inhabited by dolphins, manta rays and whale sharks, and known for its seriously swish but sensitively-designed resorts. Milaidhoo offers a world-class Indian Ocean escape with a focus on authentic barefoot luxury.
The house reef lies close to the beach and, as a marine-protected reef, is known for its excellent snorkelling and diving. The Signature Restaurant & Lounge will make an impression; set overwater with a spectacular design inspired by traditional dhonis, open for dinner and offering island-inspired cuisine. There’s a main all-day dining restaurant at the waters edge and a beach grill with private outdoor beach huts for two, intimate teppanyaki dining and a wine cellar. The spa is on the sunrise side of the island, with a yoga pavilion for sunrise yoga sessions.
Our Opinion
It is a truly iconic Maldivian island and the standard of accommodation is so high. If you are looking for a brand new island and have visited the Maldives before and looking for a change, then Milaidhoo is most definitely for you. A point to note, Miladhoo welcomes children, over the age of 9.
Location
Located in the unspoilt Baa Atoll, Milaidhoo is approx 30 minutes by seaplane from Male airport.
