Noku Maldives, Vignette Collection by IHG

We loved how small the island is, with just a few villas and not many other guests around. There was so much to see while snorkeling each day: turtles, baby sharks, and even a manta ray, thanks to Noku’s natural atoll setting. We booked a sunset water villa, and it was beautiful. The included seaplane transfer also meant we didn’t have to worry about that part of the trip. The team were kind and helpful throughout. We enjoyed the evening bar and the restaurant’s very high-quality food, though we would have liked a few more seafood choices. There’s also a small gym and a water sports center. We visited in April and were extremely happy with our stay. Noku is one of the most beautiful resorts we’ve stayed at, and we’d recommend it to anyone who loves the Maldives as much as we do. Many thanks to all the staff for making it so special.

We came away from Noku feeling refreshed and grateful, and are already thinking about a return visit. The island is peaceful and beautiful, and the villa was spotless and comfortable, with lovely ocean views from its position. What made the stay stand out just as much was the care from the staff, especially Jawad. Their warmth felt real, with little details noticed along the way, and every interaction seemed sincere. Dining, activities, and downtime all went smoothly, so we could relax without having to think about much. Noku brought together a lovely setting and genuinely welcoming people for a memorable Maldivian escape. I’d recommend it.

Privacy mattered a lot to me as a hijabi, and both villas gave me enough privacy to swim in their pools without my hijab. We stayed in an overwater villa and a beach villa, and honestly loved both equally. They were spacious, clean, newly renovated, and welcoming. It was our first Maldives trip, and we’re so glad we picked Noku. The staff were so kind, and everyone made us feel welcome and was wonderful with my 2 year old son. A special thanks to our island host, Mariam, as well as Yathrib, Anfal, Sandra, and all the others for their hospitality. The food was very good too, especially the fresh-baked pastries each day and Thari restaurant. I’d definitely recommend Noku and would come back with my family.

The food has improved so much since our first visit, and the chefs were warm, friendly, and very accommodating with our fussy requests. In just 18 months, the resort has become more refined and the service feels elevated too. This was our second stay at Noku Maldives Vignette Collection by IHG. We first came for our engagement, and this time it was our honeymoon. We’re already planning to return for our first anniversary next year. Noku keeps getting better. Highly recommended.
