Part of The Maldives’ first UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve, the Mudhdhoo Island is home only to the resort for a truly immersive experience in the archipelago’s stunning nature. Guests can stroll barefoot on pristine white shores, cycle through lush jungle, and also slip directly into the ocean from luxurious over-water villas to snorkel the vibrant 360-degree house reef.
