Story of a Small Island
Once upon a time, in the heart of a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, there was a small tropical island, an emerald drop of paradise wrapped in soft white sands, surrounded by a florishing coral reef and warm turquoise waters.
That island is Milaidhoo. That time is now. And this is where your story begins.
More than a five-star resort, Milaidhoo redefines island luxury. Every guest is a storyteller and every stay becomes a meaningful chapter. Across the island, five dining destinations and intimate culinary experiences celebrate fresh flavours and soulful simplicity, from oceanfront grills to private beach or villa moments.
A scenic 35-minute seaplane journey from Velana International Airport carries you gently into your Milaidhoo story.
