A highlight of this island paradise is the magnificent Two-Bedroom Ocean Residence, a 3,500-square-foot sanctuary of tranquillity. Boasting two elegantly designed bedrooms, spa-like bathrooms, a private 60-metre infinity pool, and panoramic views of the glittering turquoise waters, the villa represents the ultimate in luxury seclusion. Perfect for groups of friends, honeymooners, or families, the Ocean Residence includes personalised butler service and a variety of bespoke experiences like starlit cinema screenings and gourmet cooking with a personal chef​.
For those seeking unique culinary adventures, Milaidhoo’s signature restaurant, Ba’theli Lounge & Restaurant presents guests with an unforgettable dining experience.
