An archipelago of 1,192 islands lying along the equator.
Shaviyani sits amongst the Northern atolls, where the Government is incentivising integrated tourism resort developments.
A globally connected place.
In 2024 the Maldives received over two million tourist arrivals. Daily wide-bodies and direct services exist from the UK, Europe, Middle East, South Asia, Africa, China, Japan and Russia.
Shaviyani is an integral development site within the country's Northern growth corridor.
The island adjacent to Nalandhoo is to house a new domestic airport terminal.
Two international airports with private jet facilities (Hanimadhoo and Maafaru) are also in close proximity.
This will allow guests to explore unspoiled Northern atolls like never before.
Nalandhoo provides a blank canvas for resort development, from big-box all-inclusive to low-density ultra-luxury.
Gateway to the North.
Nalandhoo sits at the heart of substantial infrastructure that will drive the country's next tourism expansion push.

Nalandhoo is a unique natural island of impressive proportions.
The site comes replete with mature palms and base infrastructure.
Maldives tourism is in its strongest decade. Record arrivals, a 9.4% receipts CAGR since 2019, and a constrained pipeline are converging just as airlift capacity steps up.
Demand is structural. Supply is constrained.
Airlift is stepping up, to facilitate new growth.
Velana International's capacity has been lifted from 1.5M to 7M annual passengers. Hanimadhoo's expansion brings non-stop wide-body European range into the Northern corridor. President Muizzu has designated 2027 "Visit Maldives Year". The window for new entrants is opening — and tightening.
