Noonu Atoll

Seven resorts hold the whole atoll and three of them — Cheval Blanc Randheli, Soneva Jani and Velaa — sit at the top of the Maldivian market at the same time, with empty lagoon between them. Maafaru's runway, close to three kilometres, takes private jets directly, so Noonu manages to be remote in every direction except the one that matters to the people who come.
