Discover the Location

Naladhu, meaning ‘beautiful little island’ in the local Dhivehi language, is a homely Maldivian hideaway. The discovery of renowned hospitality entrepreneur, the late Dr. Ibrahim Maniku encountered this exclusive island gem of unparalleled beauty back in 2001.

Your Own Little Island Paradise

Each guest is welcomed as if they were at home, by their personal storyteller, known as a ‘Kuwaanu’. Much more than simply a butler, these local guides will help each guest to curate the perfect bespoke escape. Every one of the 20 Maldives villas is designed to give guests the feeling of returning to a place they’ve always known, the sense of familiarity and comfort mixed seamlessly with the sense of a new adventure where anything is possible. It was in fact the arrival of a Middle Eastern royal which inspired the creation of Naladhu’s Two Bedroom Residence, a place which can accommodate the grandeur and requirements by one of such stature, and from then, Finifenma, meaning The Rose, the queen of all flowers, was born.
