At a glance
Cheval Blanc Randheli occupies a private island in Noonu Atoll, 40 minutes by seaplane from Male International Airport, bringing the French Art de Recevoir philosophy of LVMH’s Cheval Blanc Maison to one of the most remote and undiscovered atolls in the Maldives.
46 villas designed by architect Jean-Michel Gathy blend contemporary lines with Maldivian craftsmanship throughout, with each guest assigned a dedicated Majordome for the duration of their stay. The signature Pop Yellow of the Cheval Blanc Maison and original artwork by Vincent Beaurin run as a design thread across the property.
Le 1947, the resort’s gastronomic restaurant delivers French fine dining reimagined with precision and artistry.
Cheval Blanc Spa operates from its own private spa island with Guerlain rituals. The Maldives’ only surf simulator, a cinema under the stars, and Le Carrousel kids club give the resort an activity range that extends well beyond the standard Maldivian luxury offering.

Accommodation
Island Villas
Hidden away by the lush tropical vegetation these villas have the best of both worlds, with ocean views on one side and the beautiful jungle on the other side. The rooms are filled with natural light due to the fold-back walls and high cathedral style ceilings. The large living area follows onto the spacious bedroom. Enjoy an in and outdoor bathroom finished to a high standard.
Water Villas
These beautiful water villas are located right on the beach and are perched on stilts. Follow the wooden pontoon down from the beach to your villa and have the ocean on your front door step. Enjoy your very own terrace area to lounge on in the sun, and a small private pool to cool off in, jump off your terrace right into the sea and snorkel with the marine wildlife. The villas have a beautiful bedroom and bathroom so your stay will always be comfortable.
Garden Water Villas
These villas are located over the lagoon, giving you the best of both worlds. Have gorgeous tropical foliage on one side, and the sea on the other. The bedrooms like all the other villas are beautifully furnished, and some villas have two bedrooms if you are part of a larger party. The lagoon side has a private swimming pool and dining area for you to relax at and soak up as much of the gorgeous sunshine as you can. On the garden side you can lounge on the hammock or enjoy a drink at the second dining area.
Owner's Villa
This is the ultimate island experience. Bring your family and friends to the Owner’s Villa and leave all your stresses and worries behind you as soon as you step off the water plane onto the private island. This villa has it all! The four bedrooms are all beautifully furnished and are the epitome of luxury. The interior is themed around the natural light which floods the building and there is plenty of space for you to relax, both in and outside. The Owner’s Villa has its very own spa, large private pool, and tropical gardens.

Dining
Three restaurants take the property across French, Eastern, and Italian traditions. Le 1947 is the gastronomic signature, a hushed fine dining room rooted in French cuisine and reimagined through artful precision, with each dish conceived as a sensory composition. A second restaurant draws on the subtle traditions of East Asian cooking, and a third handles Italian cuisine. Private dining extends to starlit beach dinners and in-villa experiences arranged by the Majordome, with the lagoon, beach, and the resort’s private island all available as settings.
Wellness
Cheval Blanc Spa occupies its own private island, Maakurandhoo, and offers Guerlain rituals woven with bespoke precision across a full treatment menu. The White is the resort’s infinity pool and relaxation area. Dawn yoga sessions on Maakurandhoo Island, and the natural setting of the Noonu Atoll lagoon extending in every direction from the spa island, give the wellness programme a physical remove from the main resort that deepens the sense of restoration.
Activities
Experience planning at Cheval Blanc Randheli is handled by a team called the Alchemists, who curate an activity programme from snorkelling through coral gardens and traditional Dhoni sunset cruises to the resort’s surf simulator, the only one of its kind in the Maldives. A PADI dive centre gives access to the largely undiscovered reefs of Noonu Atoll, and Le Carrousel handles family programming for children with cinema screenings and creative activities throughout the stay.
