Three MICHELIN Keys in the Maldives

Randheli opened in 2013 as LVMH's second Cheval Blanc, after the original in Courchevel, and trades the Alps for a private cluster of coral islands forty minutes north of Malé by seaplane. Jean-Michel Gathy drew it as a single composition: thatched roofs, cathedral-height ceilings and screens of bamboo, teak and mother-of-pearl that let the light off the lagoon move through every room. Each stay is shaped around the guest by a personal Majordome and a team of Alchemists. With just 46 residences, the water rarely feels shared, and racquet sports are kept on a separate island across the channel.

The Facilities

The spa island, five minutes by dhoni, is the highlight: Guerlain rituals made only for Randheli, including an After Diving Experience, plus a Leonor Greyl hair spa. Le 1947 brings French cooking to the atoll with a Maldivian tuna tartare, while Le Carrousel gives under-12s a 500 sqm club with its own pool.

The Padel

Padel is played on Maakurandhoo, the resort's jungle island a short boat ride away, beside two tennis courts built to US Open and Paris Masters standards. Play runs through the day, with floodlit evening sessions, and a clubhouse with showers and a terrace lounge to unwind.
