Milaidhoo Maldives is turning 10, and the island is marking the milestone in true barefoot style. Set within the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve of Baa Atoll, the boutique resort has spent a decade building its name on warm hospitality, local traditions and a relaxed take on luxury.

To celebrate, the Milaidhoo Family is hosting a week-long anniversary programme from 23 to 29 November 2026. Each day centres on the pillars that define the island: ocean, wellbeing, gastronomy, culture and community.

Mornings begin with bubbly sunrise cruises aboard Saima, the resort’s traditional dhoni. Guests can then go snorkelling over the house reef, join marine conversations that reflect Milaidhoo’s long-standing commitment to ocean stewardship, and take part in coral planting that invites guests to leave a lasting contribution to the reef that sustains the island.

Wellbeing takes a quieter turn at Serenity Spa, with breathwork journeys and sound healing offered throughout the week. Food is firmly in the spotlight. Highlights include a Maldivian night at Azure, a traditional Malaafaiy feast at Ba’theli and a 10-course Japanese-inspired wine-pairing dinner at Chef’s Table.

The week closes on 29 November with the “10 years, 10 food stalls” gala dinner, followed by live entertainment and fireworks over the Indian Ocean. “This milestone is not only a celebration of Milaidhoo but also of every guest, colleague and friend who has become part of our story,” says General Manager Paul van Frank.

Those who can’t make the anniversary week still have options. Until the end of the year, A Decade of You is designed for couples marking wedding anniversaries in decades, with island moments that reflect their journey together. 10 Years, 10 Nights, 10 Privileges offers a collection of bespoke experiences curated by the Milaidhoo Family.

As it steps into its next chapter, Milaidhoo invites guests to return home and help write the stories still to come.
