Nobu Hospitality Unveils Serene Luxury at the New Nobu Hotel and Residences in the Maldives

Nobu Hospitality's New Oasis in the Maldives

Nobu Hospitality is thrilled to announce the opening of Nobu Hotel, Residences, and Restaurant Maldives, nestled in the stunning Laamu Atoll on the private island of Munyafushi. This ambitious project is the first of its kind for Nobu in the Maldives and represents a collaboration with Sarat International.

The new resort features a mix of 26 beachfront villas, each with one or two bedrooms, and 30 over-water villas that also come in one or two-bedroom configurations. Each unit showcases Nobu's iconic style, emphasizing clean lines, natural textures, and a soothing color palette, all designed to offer guests both privacy and elegance. A standout feature of this development is the limited edition of just ten Nobu Island Estate Residences, each located on its own private island.

These exquisite residences promise one of the most coveted opportunities in the Maldives—private island ownership paired with seamless access to Nobu’s famed hospitality and the amenities of the resort. Each residence will represent the pinnacle of the Nobu lifestyle, boasting luxurious bedrooms and bathrooms, spacious pavilion-style living and dining areas ideal for entertaining, and private beach sections that lead directly to the ocean. Furthermore, residents will even have access to their own private yacht, perfect for exploring the surrounding waters, all framed by breathtaking panoramic views of the Indian Ocean.

At the heart of this luxurious experience will be a Nobu restaurant situated on its own private island, featuring a bar and lounge serving renowned Japanese-Peruvian cuisine curated by Chef Nobu Matsuhisa himself. Additional amenities will include a full-service spa, state-of-the-art fitness facilities, a diving center, tennis courts, event spaces, and a stunning main pool area designed for relaxation and gatherings.

The architectural design and interior decor reflect Nobu’s Japanese heritage, characterized by angular forms, dynamic flow, and a harmonious integration with the lush greenery and ocean vistas of the island. CEO Trevor Horwell expressed excitement about establishing a unique resort concept in the Maldives, which has been on Nobu's radar for quite some time. According to Horwell, the vision was not just to create another hotel, but to craft a guest experience that embodies the harmonious coexistence of design, world-class dining, and natural beauty.

Ali Ahsan, Managing Director of Sarat International, shared his enthusiasm for redefining luxury living in the Maldives through their partnership with Nobu. He sees the Nobu Hotel, Restaurant, and Island Estate Residences as an extraordinary opportunity—combining thoughtful design, exceptional craftsmanship, and world-class hospitality while being intimately connected to the natural environment.

This idyllic retreat is set to come alive soon, welcoming discerning owners and guests seeking both tranquility and unparalleled luxury. Nobu’s commitment to excellence and stunning natural surroundings make this destination a dream for those wishing to escape to paradise. As the environment fosters unparalleled privacy, convenience, and luxury, it stands as a remarkable testament to the phantasmagoria of the Maldives.

Whether you are savoring fine dining at the Nobu restaurant, lounging at your private villa, or indulging in spa treatments, your stay at Nobu Hotel, Residences, and Restaurant Maldives will undoubtedly be an unforgettable experience.
