Come, kick off your shoes and let us tell you a story . . . once upon a time there was a tiny tropical island, an emerald drop of paradise wrapped in soft white sands, surrounded by a vibrant coral reef, lapped by warm turquoise waters and hidden in the heart of a UNESCO biosphere reserve. Milaidhoo is that island. That time is now and this is our story. Not just another five star resort in the Maldives, at Milaidhoo, we like to do things differently: it’s called reinvented luxury. We don’t think of our guests as holidaymakers but as storywriters, crafting their dream holiday, and this is where your story of a small island begins. Opened in November 2016, Milaidhoo is a boutique luxury resort in the Baa Atoll UNESCO biosphere reserve, close to Hanifaru Bay, 126km north west of Male. We’re perfect for nature lovers as our own coral reef, which encircles the island, is a protected area and noted as an outstanding snorkelling and diving site in its own right. Our tiny beautiful island, abundant with tropical greenery, measures just 300m by 180m and is fringed by soft deep white sand beaches. Designed for couples seeking peace and privacy, we welcome guests aged nine and above, and have a strict no drone policy on the island. Everything at Milaidhoo has been custom made and made for comfort; crafted around your needs. Service is tip top but always friendly, in line with our ‘barefoot informality’ ethos. Above all, we’re proud to offer a taste of the true Maldives, opening doors to Maldivian culture and unique experiences.

Quick rule of thumb: Bow & Stern lines: ~ 40-60% of your boat’s LOA (length overall) Spring lines: ~1× LOA (keep one extra-long spring ~1.5× LOA for flexibility) That’s it—fast guidance for sizing bow, stern, and spring lines so you’re ready for slips, T-heads, and changing tides. #docking #sailing #boat #boating
The pocket puller is one of our most popular accessories for anyone who wants to pull recreational crab pots from our rowing & sailing dinghies! Here's a quick video demonstration of how it works. 1) Insert the pot puller into the oarlock 2) Thread your line over the pulley 3) Pull! You can cleat the line to hold it in place any time you need a break. Easy peasy! We love this because it not only protects the gunwale, but makes pulling easier on your back, too. This is an especially great investment to make if you've got wood trim on your boat, since it keeps the wet line from rubbing against the wood finish. P.S. Sorry no crab in the pot. Crabbing season was closed when we filmed this so we had to keep our bait box empty! ;)
