Overview

A small island for couples near Hanifaru Bay, with fifty pool villas and dinner aboard traditional boats in the lagoon.

Milaidhoo is a 300-by-180-metre island in Baa Atoll's UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, about 35 minutes from the airport by seaplane and 15 minutes by boat from Hanifaru Bay, where manta rays gather from May to November. It opened in November 2016 and is built around couples: children are welcome from the age of eight, and drones aren't allowed.

All 50 villas and residences have their own pool. Water Villas (245 m²) stand on stilts with an infinity pool, Beach Villas (290 m²) sit on the sand among the palms, and the 490 m² Beach Residences add a circular living room, a 60 m² pool, a butler and a personal chef. The two-bedroom Ocean Residence (564 m²) is at the far end of the jetty, with a rooftop gym.

Ba'theli serves dinner aboard traditional ba'theli boats moored in the lagoon, Ocean Restaurant does breakfast and all-day international dishes, and the Shoreline Grill does seafood and meat, with a teppanyaki-style Chef's Table and a Wine Room. Azure is a beach-shack lunch spot and Compass Pool Bar sits by the infinity pool. Serenity Spa has four overwater treatment rooms, the PADI dive centre explores the house reef's caves, and a Gourmet Plan covers meals and drinks across the restaurants.

Good to know

There's no kids' club and no children under eight, so it suits couples best. Every transfer is charged on top, and seaplanes fly in daylight only: late arrivals go by domestic flight and speedboat at the same price.
