Milaidhoo Maldives has been recognised as one of the world’s best resorts in the prestigious Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards 2025, earning a coveted place among the top global destinations. This meaningful recognition is a reflection of the essence of Milaidhoo, a sanctuary where personal connections with guests are at the heart of every experience.
Nestled within the breathtaking Baa Atoll, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, Milaidhoo is more than a luxury private island, it is a haven where time slows and nature takes the lead. Surrounded by crystalline waters, radiant skies, and lush tropical beauty, the island invites travellers to step away from the ordinary and rediscover the joy of simplicity. Often described by returning guests as a soulful retreat, Milaidhoo embodies authenticity and a deep connection to the natural world.
Milaidhoo Maldives offers a curated collection of luxurious yet intimate villas, each designed to blend seamlessly with the island’s natural beauty. Featuring contemporary Maldivian architecture with thatched roofs, open-plan spaces, and private infinity pools, every Water and Beach Villa serves as a tranquil sanctuary overlooking the turquoise lagoon. The island’s culinary experiences are equally captivating, from dining beneath the stars at Ba’theli, the world’s only restaurant set on a traditional Maldivian boat, to enjoying oceanfront meals at Ocean and shorefront cocktails at Compass Pool Bar. Guests can immerse themselves in holistic wellness rituals at Serenity Spa, embark on guided snorkelling and diving adventures across Baa Atoll’s UNESCO-protected reefs, or sail into sunset on a luxury dhoni. With a focus on personalised service and meaningful experiences, Milaidhoo embodies barefoot luxury, inviting travellers to connect deeply with the island’s rhythm and spirit.
The resort extends its gratitude to the guests who voted and continue to share in its journey, whose trust and loyalty inspire the team to refine every detail of the Milaidhoo experience. Milaidhoo also celebrates its exceptional team, fondly known as the Milaidhoo Family, whose dedication and heartfelt approach to Maldivian hospitality lie at the core of the resort’s success. As a pioneer in Maldivian tourism, the island remains committed to honouring its heritage while shaping the future of meaningful luxury travel.
This recognition by Condé Nast Traveler celebrates Milaidhoo’s philosophy that true luxury lies in simplicity, authenticity, and thoughtful service. It acknowledges the island’s dedication to crafting deeply personal journeys, inviting guests to create lasting memories while embracing the timeless charm of the Maldives.
Each visit to Milaidhoo is more than a holiday, it is an invitation to become part of the island’s ever-evolving story, one defined by nature, connection, and timeless Maldivian charm.
