Come, kick off your shoes and let us tell you a story . . . once upon a time there was a tiny tropical island, an emerald drop of paradise wrapped in soft white sands, surrounded by a vibrant coral reef, lapped by warm turquoise waters and hidden in the heart of a UNESCO biosphere reserve. Milaidhoo is that island.
Opened in November 2016, Milaidhoo is a boutique luxury resort in the Baa Atoll UNESCO biosphere reserve, close to Hanifaru Bay, 126km north west of Male. Milaidhoo is perfect for nature lovers as the coral reef, which encircles the island, is a protected area and noted as an outstanding snorkelling and diving site in its own right.

Welcome aboard the only restaurant in the world set on a boat in a lagoon featuring gourmet dishes of inspired island cuisine from the Maldivian Spice Route.
Our story begins over 5,000 years ago when The Maldives became a key port of call for traders sailing from Indonesia and India to Arabia with cargoes of cinnamon, cardamom, turmeric, cloves, ginger and pepper. The Maldivians bartered coconuts, sun-dried fish, cordage, cowrie shells and sails woven from coconut fibre for spice, rice, ceramics and silks. Locally-made cargo boats, called ba'theli in the local language, sailed throughout the archipelago with these goods, spreading knowledge about different lands, their customs and cuisine. At Ba'theli, the story continues as our chefs create dishes of finesse based on the epicurean delights of the old Spice Routes using only the finest ingredients, blending herbs and spices to enhance natural flavours.
Guests dine on the 'deck' of the restaurant where, underneath starry night skies, the team of chefs deliver an island influenced menu of locally inspired and sourced dishes. There's also indoor seating in air-conditioned comfort where you can watch the sea-life below through glass floors. Expect to find seafood and traditional local flavours intelligently reinterpreted for the 21st century. Open for dinner daily from 19.00 to 22.30. Ba'theli Lounge is open from sunset until late.
The jewel of the UNESCO biosphere reserve is undoubtedly Hanifaru Bay, the place where -- in season -- the world's largest groupings of manta rays can be seen. This is also the place for whale shark spotting. Snorkelling with these peaceful ocean giants is an unmissable experience.
The season runs from June to November each year and sightings depend on many factors such as tide times, moon phases and currents.
ocean country stocked with plentiful fish calls to anyone with the soul of a fisherman. Our big game fishing boat can take you out to the high seas looking for wahoo, sailfish, swordfish, giant trevally or marlin for our catch and release programme.
Alternatively, let our guides show you the local way to fish by hand from a traditional Maldivian fishing boat.
"‹Take a trip to a local island and see what life is really like in a Maldivian village or sail away to your own private deserted sandbank where a feast awaits. Cruise with dolphins at sunset with champagne and canapes on board one of our luxury craft or just set sail under the starry night skies and be at one with the universe.
With the UNESCO biosphere reserve and the world-famous Hanifaru Bay on our doorstep, this is a great opportunity for you to learn more about the incredible wildlife in the area from our two resident marine biologists. Here you may discover what makes whale sharks tick, why manta rays dance, what makes dolphins smile and help with identification and conservation practices.
We offer a 'be a marine biologist' programme where the curious can shadow our biologists and learn more about what they do.
Water babies will love our collection of non-motorised watersports, which include kayaks, windsurfers, catamarans, stand up paddle boards (SUPs), Zayaks, and of course snorkelling equipment which can be used free of charge during the stay.

It was first time we visited Maldives & it was nice to deal with Zeldiva Luxury team to plan our trip, they are very professional & giving clear information. We would like to thank Ellen who was very helpful & cooperative. Highly recommended
We had the best experience gassing off at the Sheraton Maldives for 3 nights and booking it was a swift all because of the excellent service by Zeldiva! NIA was very patient and accommodating of all my questions and several changes. She got us the best tailor made deal for our group of 11 pax. So much better than what I can get from agoda or booking. I can chat with her anytime and I am guaranteed a reply within the day. Sheraton charged us extra taxes that were already paid and Nia assisted in the refund of them. ELLEN met us at the airport during our arrival day, and also assisted us all throughout our early departure! It took the stress out of us because we didn’t have to figure out where to go or what was to do next. Nia and Ellen both made our trip worry free and therefore we enjoy the holiday a bit more! Thank you for your super excellent service! I totally recommend them for planning Maldives trip!
We had an incredible experience booking our Maldives trip through Zeldiva Luxury. Merissa, our concierge, was exceptional in every way. She went above and beyond to ensure our stay at Siyam World was unforgettable. Ellen, the airport representative, greeted us with warmth and efficiency. Thank you, Merissa, Ellen and Zeldiva, for making our Maldives vacation a dream come true! ?????
Can't say enough thank you for the best holiday I've ever had. Thanks to Merissa, I got the best deal for my holiday, she was always available for my thousands questions and took a really good care of me. If you want to go to the Maldives, do it with Zeldiva.
It was fantastic. Merissa from Zeldivia was really hungry not only for our business but fantastic in her service. She made the booking process so seamless and trustworthy as we didn’t know if making full payment was wise. However, what blew us away was the service from Ellen. On arrival, She personally picked us up and make sure we boarded the flight before saying bye. On departure, she queued with us till we received our boarding pass. We enjoyed your service and hospitality. Thank you Ellen.
