This November New Boutique Resort Milaidhoo Island Opens ‘50 Chapters of Laid back Island Living’ to the Maldives’


The opening of the boutique five star Milaidhoo Island Maldives this November is one of most anticipated luxury resort openings of the year. Milaidhoo, due to open its doors in November 2016, promises its guests a new chapter of barefoot island living on its tiny 300m by 180m island set in the heart of a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in the Baa Atoll region of the Maldives.

Shunning the current trend for high-gloss name-dropping look-at-me hotel glitz; at Milaidhoo barefoot informality is at the very heart of the island’s ethos where selfie-sticks and drones are not encouraged.  Perfectly located to offer the absolute best of the Maldives to its discerning guests, Milaidhoo offers a return to a classic, relaxed Maldivian holiday style on a tiny island with deep soft white sand beaches and a vibrant coral reef where dolphins, whale sharks and manta rays are visitors – a benefit of being in a protected marine area.



Water Pool Villa, Milaidhoo Maldives



This private, luxury island is reached by a scenic 30-minute seaplane flight from the international airport. Standing on stilts over the lagoon are 30 spacious over-water villas (245 square metres) and hidden amongst the tropical greenery are 20 serene villas on the beach (290 square metres). All villas have large private freshwater swimming pools and an island host to attend to the guests’ every whim.  Designed by local architect Mohamed Shafeeq, the resort’s 50 villas have been made using materials and fittings custom-made for Milaidhoo in a way that epitomises the true contemporary Maldives style.  Spacious outdoor living is the key phrase: the villas open up 180-degrees to allow the natural beauty of the Maldives to become part of the room.

Milaidhoo is the only resort in the atoll that has been created specifically with couples in mind, although children aged nine and above are welcomed.  It further differentiates itself from the herd with its ‘Milaidhoo Moments’; a collection of exclusive activities for the luxury traveler seeking meaningful and memorable experiences.  Milaidhoo will offer its guests access to Hanifaru Bay, a marine protected area, which attracts the largest seasonal groupings of manta rays in the world.

Milaidhoo is serious about its food.  Gourmets will feel at home in the three restaurants and two bars; the resort’s signature restaurant is overwater and shaped like three traditional Maldivian sailing boats.  It – uniquely in the Maldives – will offer a modern interpretation of ‘island influenced’ cuisine.  Cocktails will be fresh, creative and on point while the wine list has been designed to pique the interest of wine lovers with a choice of much loved classics alongside a selection of wines from lesser-known boutique winemakers.  All villas have their own wine fridge where guests can keep their personal favourites.

Maldives Luxury Resort Soneva Jani will make it debut in October 2016

Resort operator Soneva is to open its second resort in the Maldives later this year.

Soneva, which was spun off from Six Senses four years ago, has announced that Soneva Jani will make it debut in October.

The resort, featuring 24 water villas and one island villa, is located on the Maldivian island of Medhufaru, which is part of an uninhabited five-island cluster in the Noonu atoll. The resort can be reached by a 40-minute seaplane flight from Male airport.

The company already operates Soneva Fushi in the Maldives and last year launched the yacht-based Soneva in Aqua private charter sailing experience, which operates from Soneva Fushi. It also runs the Soneva Kiri resort in Thailand.

Soneva Jani has been built on a 5.6-kilometre private lagoon with all water villas having private pools as well as opening out on to a stretch of lagoon. Some villas also feature slides running from their top deck to the lagoon below.

Another selling point of the new resort’s villas is a retractable roof in the master bedroom. This allows guests to stargaze from the comfort of their own beds and closes automatically if it rains.

Facilities at Soneva Jani will also include a spa, dive centre, children’s den, organic gardens and an outdoor cinema with sound provided by Bluetooth earphones. Waste from the resort will be recycled though its Eco Centro system.

Sonu Shivdasani, Soneva’s founder and CEO, said: “It is not an island resort, it is a lagoon with six private islands where only one of these will have development.

“When designing and building Soneva Jani, I was very mindful that when we open, the area should seem as natural and beautiful as the first day I laid eyes on it.”

Soneva plans a “soft” opening for the resort on October 1 with an official opening date of November 5. Bookings are being taken for arrival from October 1.

Paris Hilton's Birthday Holiday at Maldives

American socialite and millionaire Paris Hilton showered praises on the Maldives in a series of photographs on social media as she celebrated her 35th birthday in the island getaway.

According to the Daily Mail Online, Hilton’s birthday celebration in the Maldives was a surprise gift prepared by her current boyfriend and millionaire businessman Thomas Gross.

Daily Mail cited her excitement for the trip, “We're going to land somewhere tropical and beautiful and some place I've never been before, so I'm excited. I love surprises.”

The online snippets of the celebration began Wednesday with a picture of Hilton posing with her birthday cake aboard her flight, which was titled “#BirthdayGirl landing in #Paradise” and accompanied with an aerial shot of the archipelago.

Over the course of her holiday, Hilton uploaded several pictures of herself enjoying the tropical beauty of the Maldives on her Facebook and Instagram.

One photograph of herself lounging on a sunbed was captioned “#Peaceful in #Paradise”, while another Facebook post featuring Hilton walking along an over-water walkway read, “I have travelled to the most beautiful places around the world & this is one of the most incredible places I've ever been...”

The pictures depict Hilton in flowy beach dresses and accentuating swimwear, most of them with beautiful spots of the resort serving as eye-catching backdrops.

“Feel so relaxed & at peace here. What a wonderful way to celebrate my ?#?Birthday?,” she wrote, describing her location as “Pure Paradise”.

The popular descendant of Conrad Hilton, the founder of Hilton Hotels, has not confirmed her location on any of her pictures and the duration of her vacation remains unclear.

The executive vice president of JLL Hotels & Hospitality Group Asia, Nihat Ercan, congratulated Roxy-Pacific Holdings on the acquisition.

“With its investor-friendly policies and robust trading fundamentals, we are seeing a surge in investor interest in Maldives resort assets," he remarked.

JLL group’s previous sales in the Maldives include Angsana Velavaru, Six Senses Laamu, Maalifushi by COMO, Gili Lankanfushi, Reethi Beach and Outrigger Konotta. JLL has also recently been appointed advisor to the sale of a resort in development in the island of Maavelavaru in Noonu atoll.

Just weeks ago they rekindled their romance only for Sam to admit in the series finale that he kissed another woman on a night out in Nottingham. 
Sheepishly, he explained: 'I'm so happy you haven't heard about this from anyone else.'
Before adding that it was up to Tiff to decide whether or not he had cheated.
'I went to Nottingham,' he admitted. 'I kissed a girl. I didn't tell you because at the time I didn't know how I felt.' He pleaded with her to understand and told her it was 'ages ago', but an emotional Tiff was clearly stunned by the news. Despite the fractious end to the series, judging by their holiday snaps the couple are firmly back on the right track.
