The property
French maison in the Indian Ocean
Randheli is the most architecturally deliberate resort in the Maldives. Gathy's design uses colour and geometry in a way almost nothing else here attempts — bold, graphic, and unmistakably French rather than tropical-generic. The resort spreads across several islets in the Noonu lagoon, with the spa on its own island reached by boat. Service follows the Cheval Blanc model: an alchimiste assigned to each villa.
