At Milaidhoo their “No shoes required. Ever” motto is amplified by the inviting holiday cottage feel of the rooms. Each villa—gently curved to compliment the shape of the island—opens up 180° to allow full enjoyment of the Maldivian landscape. Small details like glass walled bathrooms with ocean views ensure complete immersion in the island experience. Guests can watch dusk fall from the undhoali bench swing on their private sundeck before enjoying in-room dining and a movie with the outdoor cinema setup.

The Ba’theli restaurant is positioned on the western side of the island to take advantage of sunset views. Perched on stilts, it is designed to resemble a cluster of ancient Maldivian cargo boats. The permanently moored vessels contain a cocktail lounge and glass floored dinner venue where overwater and submarine views can be enjoyed simultaneously.

Endeavouring to bring even further balance to paradise, Milaidhoo has created a special menu of ‘mood experiences’ to help ease transition into the state of being most commonly known as island mode. By carefully curating a combination of food chemistry, physical activity and location, staff can help achieve results for deep sleep, an energetic adventure or pure beachside relaxation.

In addition to diving and other water sports activities, guests can venture out over the reefs in one of the resorts transparent canoes. Located on a UNESCO Biosphere reserve, Milaidhoo has an extremely healthy house reef with a diverse array of marine life. Among them is the rare Napoleon fish—a slow breeding reef dweller that invites jealousy for its ability to live as long as half a century in paradise!
