Away from the World’s Noise on a Hidden Gem of the Maldives

If you crave silence and tranquility and wish to retreat from the often impulsive experiences of the world, choose this extraordinary jewel of the Atlantic Ocean’s island chain, which you’re almost certain few people around you have heard of. Noku Maldives, located on Kudafunafaru, is a truly special resort island offering unparalleled comfort and serenity. It comprises just 50 private bungalows, each designed with excellent style and providing a high level of comfort, perfectly blending into the surrounding area.

Thanks to the spacious layout, you can relax completely isolated from other guests, meeting them only in one of the restaurants or bars. It is the perfect place for those who seek solitude in a magical environment. This island is situated in the breathtakingly beautiful Indian Ocean region, within the frequently visited Noonu Atoll, consisting of 71 islands, about a 45-minute seaplane ride from Malé. The journey itself is an overwhelming experience, as you can view the dazzling turquoise waters, coral reefs, and tiny sand islands from above. Your private villa comes with its own stretch of beach and a coral reef easily accessible by swimming from the shore, where you can marvel at the incredibly diverse and colorful marine life every day. Imagine seeing the sunrise over the seemingly endless crystal-blue horizon from the terrace of your bungalow in the morning, with warm tropical air caressing your skin, and a turtle nibbling on its breakfast in the crystal-clear water just within arm’s reach at your feet. In the morning, you can cool off by the side of your private pool, and in the afternoon, sunbathe on the dazzlingly white, velvety smooth sandy beach, while the shimmering blue water presents a myriad of shades before you—something you won’t see anywhere else in the world.

As you walk around the island, you will encounter incredibly lush, untouched, and stunningly colorful nature: rich tropical vegetation, a birdlife that is rare at home, and the gentle mixing of exotic floral scents in the warm breeze will enchant your senses.

The island is not among the most popular and fashionable resorts near Malé, which helps it maintain its discreet and intimate atmosphere, ensuring a crowd-free, peaceful retreat for visitors.

In its two restaurants, you can taste the delicacies of international and diverse Asian cuisine, which can even be served on the terrace of your villa with a private pool.

Many people may already know the Maldives in many ways – with first-class, private arrangements, it can be a truly exceptional and stylish travel destination for your January vacation.
