MALDIVES | Nobu Hospitality has launched a new hotel and restaurant complex on an exclusive private island in the Maldives.

Nobu Hospitality has announced the debut of Nobu Hotel, Residences, and Restaurant Maldives, located in the province of Laamu Atoll on the private island of Munyafushi. Developed in partnership with Sarat International, this landmark project marks Nobu's first venture into the Maldives.

Sarat International is pleased to announce its successful partnership with Sarat Investments. Led by Managing Director, Ali Ahsan, Sarat International further strengthens its strategic presence in the Maldives with the appointment of Engr. Abdulaziz Bin Mohammed Alkhudair as Chief Advisor of Sarat International. 

Set amid the turquoise waters and pristine beaches of the Indian Ocean, the resort will feature 26 one- and two-bedroom beach villas and 30 one- and two-bedroom overwater villas. Each space will reflect Nobu's signature style, clean lines, natural textures, and a calming colour palette of privacy and sophistication.

Defining the uniqueness of this development is the ultra-limited offering of just 10 Nobu Island Estate Residences, each positioned on its own private island. This rare collection affords one of the most coveted opportunities in the Maldives, private island ownership enriched by seamless access to Nobu's world-renowned hospitality, dining, and resort amenities. 

Each Nobu Island Estate Residence will deliver the ultimate expression of the Nobu lifestyle: luxurious bedrooms and bathrooms, spacious pavilion-style living and dining areas ideal for entertaining, and private beachfronts with direct ocean access, and even its own private yacht, perfect for exploring the surrounding waters, all framed by stunning panoramic views of the Indian Ocean. Owners will enjoy unmatched privacy while being only moments away, by boat, from the hotel's restaurants, spa, fitness facilities, and curated experiences.

At the heart of the experience will be a Nobu restaurant set on its own private island, complete with bar and lounge, serving Chef Nobu's iconic Japanese Peruvian cuisine. Additional amenities include a full-service spa, state-of-the-art fitness facilities, a diving centre, tennis courts, event spaces, and a stunning main swimming pool for relaxed leisure and gatherings. Architecture and interiors will draw inspiration from Nobu's Japanese heritage, expressed through angular forms, dynamic flow, and a harmonious integration with the island's lush landscapes and ocean vistas.

"The Maldives is a highly sought-after tourist destination that has long been on our radar for a unique resort concept. Before we embarked on this journey, we envisioned something truly special,” said Trevor Horwell, CEO of Nobu Hospitality.

“As part of the new generation of Maldives hotels, we aim to set a new standard of rarity. Our priority is to create a superior island experience rather than follow a formulaic approach, one where design, world-class dining, and the natural environment harmoniously coexist."
