About NH Collection Maldives

The five-star resort of NH Collection Maldives is situated on a secluded private island known as Havodda in the southern atoll of Huvadhoo. Lying some 400-kilometres south of Male, NH Collection Maldives is accessed via an hour-long domestic flight to Kaadedhdhoo, followed by a swift 10-minute speedboat transfer to the resort. The resort’s remote location guarantees a wonderful sense of seclusion, surrounded on all sides by one of the biggest lagoons in the Maldives, while also providing quick and easy access to some of the atoll’s best dive sites - known for chance encounters with up to 13 different species of shark.

Every space throughout this resort has been thoughtfully-designed to deliver a comforting home-away-from-home experience. Providing ample space to live, work and play, all of NH Collection Maldives' 120 villas feature contemporary clean lines and style that showcases modern Maldivian architecture. Expect soaring palm-thatched roofs and natural timber flooring, along with refreshingly bright colour palettes and sophisticated technology. Guests are also invited to make the most of NH Collection Maldives's many convenient onsite facilities, including an impressive selection of leisure and sporting activities, including scuba diving, as well as unique dining experiences.
