The resort

About Nala Maldives Resort

Nala Maldives Resort sits on Innahura Island in Lhaviyani Atoll, reached by a roughly 40-minute seaplane flight from Malé International Airport. The property operates as an adults-only retreat with a minimum age of 12, designed for couples and travellers seeking a quieter island experience. Accommodation covers beach and overwater villas with thatched roofs, verandas and direct lagoon access, and rates include an all-inclusive dining plan across the on-site restaurant and bar. Facilities include a spa, a swimming pool, a dive centre and a water sports base offering snorkelling over the surrounding house reef. A distinctive element is the shared-island arrangement with sister resort Jawakara Islands next door, giving Nala guests access to additional dining outlets, experiences and a larger footprint of facilities without leaving the twin-island cluster. The setup suits adults who want a compact, well-regarded base in a northern atoll known for manta and whale-shark sightings, paired with the extensive range of a larger neighbouring resort.
