Nobu Hospitality will debut Nobu Hotel, Residences, and Restaurant Maldives located in the province of Laamu Atoll on the private island of Munyafushi. Developed in partnership with Sarat International, this landmark project marks Nobu’s first venture into the Maldives.
The resort will feature 26 one- and two-bedroom beach villas and 30 one- and two-bedroom overwater villas. Each space will reflect Nobu’s signature style.
This is an ultra-limited offering of just 10 Nobu Island Estate Residences, each positioned on its own private island. Each Nobu Island Estate Residence features luxurious bedrooms and bathrooms, spacious pavilion-style living and dining areas, and private beachfronts with direct ocean access, and even its own private yacht. Owners will be only moments away—by boat—from the hotel’s restaurants, spa, fitness facilities, and curated experiences.
At the heart of the experience will be a Nobu restaurant set on its own private island, complete with bar and lounge, serving Chef Nobu’s iconic Japanese Peruvian cuisine. Additional amenities include a full-service spa, state-of-the-art fitness facilities, a diving center, tennis courts, event spaces, and a main swimming pool. Architecture and interiors will draw inspiration from Nobu’s Japanese heritage, expressed through angular forms, dynamic flow, and integration with the island’s lush landscapes and ocean vistas.
Trevor Horwell, CEO of Nobu Hospitality, commented, “The Maldives is a highly sought-after tourist destination that has long been on our radar for a unique resort concept. Before we embarked on this journey, we envisioned something truly special. As part of the new generation of Maldives hotels, we aim to set a new standard of rarity. Our priority is to create a superior island experience rather than follow a formulaic approach—one where design, world-class dining, and the natural environment harmoniously coexist.”
Ali Ahsan, managing director, Sarat International, said, “We are proud to partner with Nobu Hospitality to introduce a project that redefines luxury living in the Maldives, and equally proud to be partnering with Sarat Investments on this landmark development. From the outset, our shared vision has been to create a destination that feels both rare and deeply connected to its natural surroundings. The Nobu Hotel, Restaurant, and Island Estate Residences represent a truly unparalleled opportunity—private islands that combine thoughtful design, exceptional craftsmanship, and world-class hospitality. We look forward to bringing this extraordinary retreat to life and welcoming discerning owners and guests.”
