Stay longer in the Maldives with this special vacation package

2026-10-16

Rather close to Velana airport and it took only about 30 minutes to travel with the speed boat to the location. We were met and accompanied to the boat by a personal assistant. On the way to the island a captain kindly slowed down a boat for some time in the sea as we came to the place where a pod of dolphins were playing in the water. We were met on the pier by the resort staff drumming a dancing. We passed through a nice and brief welcoming ritual and then later were introduced to the whole Anantara surrounding. Our Kuwaanu Mr. Aslam Hassan and his junior assistant Nur toured us to the neighboring islands of Dighu and Vieli as well as the tiny island where tourists go for snorkeling introducing us to this brilliant place. For the whole duration of our two weeks stay at Naladhu Aslam was assisting us in everything we needed and advised us in possible and available entertainment at the location. We thank him so much for all this. The villa we occupied was faced to the ocean and the view was so exciting and the constant sound of endless waves supported a full tranquility day and night. The island itself is very green and perfectly maintained despite the age of the resort. Any little issues we reported were eliminated within the shortest possible time. The Living Room restaurant was beyond any expectations. Quality of the food and service was extraordinary. We visited also all the restaurants on the islands of Anatara as we were on FB and only grill restaurant on the Dighu was somewhat comparable with The Living Room. We had also a personal bungalow on the opposite side of our island where we stayed at the beach. The villa service was perfect. Tino - our servant was making every nice things to keep us feeling loved and respected. In general everything was at a really luxury level as we understand it. Thanks for the hotel management and its staff for our wonderful vacation.

Naladhu is probably the most private and personal resort experience we’ve had in the Maldives, coming here for over a decade The island is quiet and beautiful, and the villa is the kind of place where you can easily spend the whole day without wanting to leave. We had our own pool, the sea right in front of us, complete privacy, and at night we fell asleep listening to the ocean. What I loved most was how cared for you feel here. There are so many small things that add up. The staff remember your names and what you like. I had flowers in the villa and someone kept changing the water in the vase. Our beach cabana was always ours, so there was never any thought about finding a good spot or looking for a sunbed. The food was also a big highlight. The chef came over personally to ask what we felt like eating and suggested dishes for us. He even suggested something from my husband’s home country, which was such a thoughtful touch. I try to eat quite healthily and asked for a few things to be changed, and nothing ever felt difficult or inconvenient. Breakfast is very flexible, dinner is excellent, and the menu has everything from lobster to caviar. We did have a small issue at the beginning of our stay, and this is where I really want to mention Ali Shameem, the Resort Manager. He handled it extremely professionally, listened properly, and made a huge effort to make sure the rest of our stay was special. You could genuinely feel that he cared about the outcome, and he completely changed the direction of the experience for us. That kind of service is exactly what makes a place feel special. What I also really like is that you have the privacy of Naladhu but can still use the restaurants and facilities at the neighbouring Anantara islands when you feel like it. Then you come back here and it feels completely quiet again. One thing we also loved was how easy it was to get to the neighboring island for snorkeling. It is literally about a one-minute boat ride, so we ended up going almost every day. The reef there was full of life, and we saw many fish each time. We still have two days left and we’re already genuinely sad about leaving. We would absolutely come back.

Perfect vacation! I'm not staying at the hotel for the first time, I've been both with family and alone, I'm satisfied with everything! There is a large selection of restaurants, different cuisines, breakfast all day - everything so you don't have to worry about the schedule. A good selection of spa treatments for face and body, there are water activities, snorkeling, and a gym. Butler Nur booked everything for me very quickly and easily, I just had to enjoy the vacation.
