Each guest is looked after by a personal island host
Reinvented luxury where every aspect is crafted around you and your stay
Location
Milaidhoo Island lies in the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve of Baa Atoll in the Maldives, a 35-minute seaplane flight from Malé. Surrounded by a turquoise lagoon and powder-soft sand, the island is small, intimate, and beautifully natural. This is barefoot luxury at its most refined.
Rooms
With just 50 villas and residences, Milaidhoo feels exclusive and deeply personal. Each villa is spacious and light-filled, designed with a contemporary Maldivian aesthetic: high thatched roofs, soft woods, and private infinity pools that spill towards the sea. Overwater villas come with steps leading straight into the lagoon, while beach villas are tucked among palms with direct access to the sand.
Amenities
What we love here is how seamlessly comfort blends with elegance. There are three restaurants, including the unique Ba’theli, set on a boat in the lagoon, where menus celebrate Maldivian heritage and flavours. The spa offers open-air pavilions above the water, yoga is held at sunrise on the beach, and the infinity pool is a serene spot for a lazy afternoon. Each guest is looked after by a personal island host, ensuring every stay feels effortless and tailored.
Activities
Milaidhoo is all about experiences that connect you to the Maldives. You can snorkel over colourful reefs just off the beach, dive with manta rays at Hanifaru Bay, or join dolphin cruises at sunset. Paddleboarding, kayaking, and sailing offer slower ways to explore the lagoon, while fishing trips and private sandbank picnics add a touch of adventure. For those seeking stillness, simply lying back on your deck with the ocean at your feet can be the highlight.
Sustainability
Milaidhoo is committed to protecting its fragile surroundings. The resort runs coral restoration projects, supports marine conservation initiatives across the Baa Atoll, and avoids single-use plastics throughout the island. Local sourcing is prioritised in the kitchen, and the design of the villas reflects a light environmental footprint.

January
January is one of the most popular times to visit the Maldives, with plenty of sunshine and high temperatures its great for a beach holiday - if you love snorkelling and diving the visibility is high thanks to the calm weather conditions.
February
Much like January, temperatures in February stay at a steady 30 degrees, the combination of beautiful weather conditions and good watersports making it a great time to visit, especially if you love sea life.
March
March experiences high temperatures and low humidity levels, making it the perfect time for a beach holiday.
April
April is another great month to travel, with sunny, warm days. During the end of the month there is an increased risk of rain.
May
Temperatures in May remain warm with long periods of sunshine, but with the start of the South West Monsoon season rains and storms are likely. The unsettled weather, means there is lower visibility, so diving and snorkelling isn't as good as previous months.
June
During June, temperatures remain warm with sunny days. With the chances of rain and storms increasing it gives guests a perfect excuse to explore the islands' spas and facilities.
July
The South West Monsoon season continues into July, meaning rains are probable despite the warm sunny days.
August
Weather remains the same in August, and the lower prices and attractive offers make it a great time to visit.
September
Weather remains the same in September, and the lower prices and attractive offers make it a great time to visit.
