Recognized for its entirely unique take on the Maldivian experience, Naladhu has been awarded a top spot in the Condé Nast Traveler’s 2017 Reader’s Choice Awards, positioned as the #1 Resort in the World.

“It is a great honor to be recognized by Condé Nast Traveler’s readers as the number one resort in the world.
