  • Villa daydreams: The spacious guest accommodations sport pared-down minimalist interiors, tempered with luxe Maldivian villa elements like thatched roofs, standalone tubs and private wooden sundecks perfect for peaceful evening lounging. Suspended over the turquoise waters on stilts and enjoying stunning sunrise views, Water villas also boast direct access to the ocean.

  • Spa serenity: Enter through Noku Spa’s lush garden walkway and wind down with a massage at its six double treatment suites, each with tranquil ocean views and furnished in natural stone and wood elements. The fully equipped spa places a focus on using products made with natural ingredients.
