Dining lies at the heart of the guest experience at Noku Maldives.

Wellness is equally integral to the resort experience. Noku Spa, nestled within a peaceful garden sanctuary, offers holistic treatments inspired by traditional Maldivian healing practices. Using natural ingredients such as coconut oil and locally sourced botanicals, each therapy is designed to restore balance, relax the body, and uplift the spirit in harmony with the island’s serene surroundings.

Vignette Collection brings together each hotel’s unique character with shared brand hallmarks, including Memorable Rituals and A Means For Good, creating authentic, purpose-led travel experiences.

At Noku Maldives, guests are invited to participate in Island Echoes, a signature Memorable Ritual where they gather barefoot by a bonfire at dusk to experience storytelling inspired by seafarers’ legends and island folklore beneath a starlit sky.

The resort’s A Means For Good initiatives reflect its strong commitment to sustainability, community engagement, and cultural preservation. These include a weekly Fisherman’s Visit, during which a local fisherman shares his daily catch to support nearby schools and women’s committees, as well as marine conservation efforts such as coral regeneration and sea turtle rescue programmes. In partnership with local NGOs, guests are also encouraged to adopt coral fragments and contribute to long-term reef preservation.

Since its launch in 2021, Vignette Collection has emerged as one of IHG Hotels & Resorts’ fastest-growing luxury and lifestyle brands.
