Noku Maldives, Vignette Collection NOONU ATOLL, MALDIVES


In the hushed heart of the Indian Ocean, where time sways with the tides and sunsets linger a moment longer, Noku Maldives, Vignette Collection, offers a rare expression of island elegance. As the first Vignette Collection resort in the Maldives by IHG Hotels & Resorts, it embodies barefoot luxury through a refined lens. Set in the unspoilt serenity of Noonu Atoll,


the island is reached by a 45-minute seaplane flight from Malé. Palm-lined shores cradle just 50 contemporary villas, poised above the turquoise lagoon or nestled along ivory sands. Crafted in warm teak, woven textures and island stone, each villa reflects the calm rhythm of nature. Dining celebrates land, sea and memory. At


Palms, flame-kissed dishes highlight the day’s catch and hand-selected cuts, while Thari draws on the culinary traditions of Sri Lanka, India and the Maldives, where every recipe tells a story of shared tables and coastal rituals. For those seeking intimacy, moonlit dinners on the sand unfold beneath a canopy of stars, while floating breakfasts drift across private pools at dawn. Golden-hour


aperitifs turn each sip into a quiet celebration of presence and place. Beyond each villa, experiences unfold in rhythm


with the island. Sunrise yoga, coral-garden snorkelling, paddleboarding and sunset cruises give way to moments of stillness at Noku Spa, where ancient healing traditions are reimagined with botanical elixirs. The atoll’s 34 celebrated dive sites reveal manta rays, reef sharks and kaleidoscopic corals, while the resort’s house reef shelters turtles gliding through crystalline waters. In true Vignette spirit, the island embraces


memorable rituals through Island Echoes. As twilight deepens, guests gather around a bonfire to hear Maldivian legends retold. With canapes in hand and stars overhead, it becomes more than a story; it’s a connection. Noku also embodies Means for Good, weaving


community into the guest experience. Once a week, a local fisherman brings his catch to the island, inviting guests to choose from his haul for the chefs to prepare. Proceeds support schools and women’s committees in neighbouring islands.
