Overview

Come, kick off your shoes and let us tell you a story . . . Once upon a time there was a tiny tropical island, an emerald drop of paradise wrapped in soft white sands, surrounded by a vibrant coral reef, lapped by warm turquoise waters and hidden in the heart of a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Milaidhoo is that island. That time is now and this is our story.

Not just another five-star resort in the Maldives, Milaidhoo does things differently: we call it re-invented luxury. We don’t think of our guests as holidaymakers but as story-tellers, crafting a dream holiday. This is where your story of a small island begins.

Opened in November 2016, Milaidhoo is a boutique luxury resort in the Baa Atoll UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, close to Hanifaru Bay, 126km north west of Male’. We’re perfect for nature lovers as our own coral reef, which encircles the island, is a protected area and noted as an outstanding snorkelling and diving site. Our tiny beautiful island, abundant with tropical greenery, measures just 300m by 180m and is fringed by a soft deep white sand beach. Designed for couples seeking peace and privacy, we welcome guests aged nine and above, and have a strict no drone policy on the island.

Everything at Milaidhoo has been custom made and made for comfort; crafted around your needs. Service is tip top but always friendly, in line with our ‘barefoot informality’ ethos. Above all, we’re proud to offer a taste of the true Maldives, opening doors to Maldivian culture and unique experiences.

Restaurants and Bars

  • Ba ’ Theli By The Reef Restaurant & LoungeMilaidhoo is home to the first restaurant in the Maldives that specialises in gourmet local island cuisine, featuring dishes inspired by the Maldivian Spice Route. Named after the ancient wooden sailing vessels that brought spices and knowledge of other countries to the islands, Ba’theli by the Reef is one of the few fine-dining restaurants in the world that encourages its diners to come barefoot. Ba’theli’s architecture reflects its heritage, built to resemble three boats that are supported by pillars so it appears to be floating by the reef in the lagoon. The story of Ba’theli boats began over 5,000 years ago when the Maldives was a key port of call for trading vessels sailing from Indonesia and India to Arabia with cargoes of cinnamon, cardamom, turmeric, cloves, ginger and pepper. The Maldivian islanders bartered coconuts, sun-dried fish, cordage, cowrie shells and sails woven from coconut fibre for spices, rice, ceramics and silks. These locally-made cargo boats, or Ba’theli in the Maldivian language, collected these goods and sailed throughout the archipelago trading them, spreading knowledge about different lands, their customs and cuisine. The menu created by the chef at Ba’theli by the Reef features dishes that originated in the Maldives, adapted for a gourmet palate. As in traditional Maldivian dishes, cooking techniques and ingredients come from around the Indian Ocean, India, Sri Lanka, and Southeast Asia. The restaurant concept is part of the Milaidhoo ethos to offer guests a very Maldivian holiday with a real sense of island life; the dining experience is truly island inspired, based on the culture, tradition and history of this destination.
  • Shoreline GrillThe beachfront Shoreline Grill is where guests find superb meats and freshly caught local fish and seafood, simply cooked and beautifully presented. Guests dine barefoot on the sand in a private beachfront pavilion, or inside for a fantastic view of the show kitchen. This exceptional culinary experience inspires guests, and they can even enjoy an evening at our Chef’s Table where chef designs a tailor-made menu, and cooks especially for them. Guests are also invited to arrange a pre-dinner wine tasting session in our wine room with our sommelier. This is barefoot informality at its best: easy, simple, no fuss.
  • Compass Pool BarCompass is the place to chill out and fall in love with our infinity pool that overlooks the ocean. When hunger calls, we’re right here with light meals including gourmet pizzas from our wood-fired oven, bento boxes, fresh salads and sandwiches, and of course, a tempting drinks list with the freshest juices, infused waters, wines and cocktails. The fun doesn’t stop when the sun goes down; the area transforms into a laid-back lounge offering aperitifs and afterdinner drinks as well as an impressive selection of cocktails.
  • Ocean RestaurantHere’s the tropical breakfast guests dream of: sitting on the deck by the ocean as our team delivers wave after wave of treats to the table. Or helping yourself to a huge variety of elegantly presented culinary delights, hand-picked from all over the world, locally sourced where possible. For lunch and dinner, the style remains casually comfortable with international dishes, perfectly presented, from our à la carte menu. Here, the key words are fresh, flavourful and friendly.
  • In-Villa DiningTo us, in villa dining means the creation of a magical experience for our guests in the privacy of their own accommodation, 24 hours a day. The menu includes a carefully curated selection of dishes designed to please and satisfy a craving for something different; our chefs make it just right.
