Cheval Blanc Randheli

Peppering the Maldivian archipelago, on the shores of the opalescent Noonu Atoll, the Cheval Blanc Randheli property is a stunning constellation of 46 villa-maisons. Paired with several sister restaurants and a sprinkle of sleek bars, the gorgeous properties are framed by the famous scenic powder-white beaches and twinkling waters of the Indian Ocean.  First launched in 2013, Cheval Blanc Randheli is the sophomore Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy hospitality project, following its French flagship the Cheval Blanc Courchevel. 

Debonair yet experimental, the architecture of Randheli astonishes through a straddling of boundaries, a subtle flirtation with topography, a courting of coconut thatches and an incorporation of natural materials that melt away any harsh, structural lines. The limestone edifices brilliantly reflect the rays of the afternoon sun while emblematic Maldivian floating decks boldly embrace the sprawling sea. The property’s very own private lagoon scintillates as it laps up any abundance of light. As the mastermind of these luxurious homes away from home, Belgian architect Jean-Michel Gathy fuses French and Asian sensibilities, manipulating space and seamlessly optimizing scale. The villa interiors are airy havens encased by intelligently stacked layers. These provide them their singular fluidity, all strung together by Gathy’s vast cathedral-esque ceilings.

The properties are designed for maximum seclusion and idyllic scenes of meditation, with Cheval Blanc’s signature Exclusive Privacy. Randheli boasts a lavish coastal elegance that is distinctively French. After a 40-minute private trip on Cheval Blanc’s signature taupe and “pop yellow” seaplane, the majordomo personally chaperones you to your maison. Discover true peace at the Paris-redolent spa with pampering by Guerlain.

Indulge your senses with any of the choice premium gastronomic delights at the sister restaurants. Bask in the curative waters and tropical ambience as you sip on a bespoke cocktail. Cheval Blanc Randheli is more than just a private resort, it is an immersive experience that will leave its indelible mark.
