An island resort on Innahura Island

Nala Maldives opened in December 2025 on Innahura Island in Lhaviyani Atoll, 129 km from Malé and about 35–40 minutes by seaplane. The property operates under the Jawakara group and is adults-only, with guests aged 12 and over. Across 80 villas, 52 have private infinity pools. Four distinct restaurants, an overwater champagne bar, a poolside cocktail bar, and a spa with Himalayan salt and red light therapy give the place enough variety that most guests won't need to leave the island. A cross-access speedboat also connects to sister property Jawakara Islands.
