Questions about the venue
Can we have our ceremony on the beach?+
Yes. Naladhu offers beachfront ceremony setups with customizable décor. Most couples use the sandy areas facing the house reef, which provides scenic backdrops and natural privacy.
What's included in the wedding package?+
Packages vary by season and guest count, but typically include venue setup, basic floral arrangements, sound system, catering coordination, and a wedding planner. Alcohol, premium décor, and entertainment are usually à la carte.
How many guests can we accommodate?+
With 44 villas, the resort can host weddings from 20 to approximately 150 guests, with all attendees housed on-island.
When is the best time to book?+
Book 6-12 months in advance, especially for November through March (dry season). The resort fills quickly during these months.
Do we need a marriage license in the Maldives?+
Foreign couples can have a ceremony here, but legal marriage requires Maldivian residency or prior registration. Many couples marry legally at home and have a commitment ceremony in the Maldives.
