Noonu (South Miladhunmadulu) Atoll lies in the far north of the Maldives; its geographic name is South Miladhunmadulu, and N is the code you will see on a transfer schedule. There are 8 resort islands here and 5 inhabited islands with guest houses, each with its own page.
From Malé, the resorts of Noonu are reached by seaplane in 40 to 45 minutes, speedboat in 15 to 60 minutes or domestic flight and speedboat. The islands run from Noku Maldives with 50 villas to Siyam World, Maldives with 530: the difference between a private beach for twenty and a ballroom for a conference. Cheval Blanc Randheli Private Island is run by one of the resort brands we produce for as a partner.
Honestly: nothing published from Noonu yet. The closest atoll with work on the site is Raa, to the south, and its projects are shown below as nearby work. An enquiry with your resort and dates gets a reply within 24 hours and a proposal within five days.

Resorts in Noonu.
Every resort island in the atoll, those with published work first. Each page carries the transfer, the villa count and the resort's policy on outside planners.
Local islands.
Inhabited islands in Noonu with registered guest houses. Weddings and celebrations here are planned with the guest house and the island council.
Seasons and light.
Two monsoons shape a year in Noonu. Iruvai, the north-east monsoon from late November to early April, is the dry season of clear skies and still lagoons; Hulhangu, the south-west monsoon from April to November, brings short showers, dramatic cloud and the best sunsets. Noonu is in the north of the country, which gets slightly less rain than Malé during Hulhangu, and Iruvai evenings here are as still as anywhere in the Maldives. Every event we plan carries a rain plan whatever the month, and the nakaiy calendar explains what each fortnight of the year tends to bring.
Questions about Noonu.
Which resort in Noonu should we choose?
It depends on your guest count, your budget and whether the resort admits outside planners. The smallest island in Noonu is Noku Maldives with 50 villas; the largest is Siyam World, Maldives with 530. Tell us the numbers and we will propose three islands that fit.
How do we get to Noonu Atoll?
From Velana International Airport in Malé by seaplane in 40 to 45 minutes, speedboat in 15 to 60 minutes or domestic flight and speedboat, booked through the resort. Our team and the flowers travel on the same transfer, usually the morning before the event.
Can we bring you as our planner to a resort in Noonu?
Most Maldivian resorts welcome a planner and stylist booked by the couple or the company, working alongside their own events team; a few run everything in-house. We confirm the current policy of the resort you name within 24 hours of your enquiry, and if it is closed to outside vendors we say so plainly.
What does a wedding or event in Noonu cost?
There are no fixed packages. Every event is designed and quoted on its own: our fee on one line, the resort and the vendors at cost on the others, with government taxes (GST) and the 10 % service charge shown. A proposal with the full cost breakdown arrives within five days and is held for five; a 50 % deposit confirms production.
When is the best season in Noonu?
Iruvai, from late November to early April, is the dry season and the busiest; December is peak across the Maldives, so book early. Hulhangu, from April to November, brings short showers and the best sunsets. We work in both, with a wet-weather venue in every plan.
