A Masterpiece of Island Elegance and Artful Luxury
Designed by renowned architect Jean-Michel Gathy, Cheval Blanc Randheli blends modern aesthetics with Maldivian soul across five lush islands in Noonu Atoll. The architecture is sculptural, immersive, and emotional—each space flows seamlessly with the lagoon and surrounding nature.
Spanning five lush islands, Randheli’s 45 oversized villas, both overwater and beachside, are a study in symmetry and sophistication. High cathedral ceilings, hand-selected textures, curated art, and soft neutral palettes create a serene atmosphere that reflects the resort’s ethos of subtle grandeur. Each villa includes a private infinity pool, expansive sundeck, and discreet butler service that feels effortless and personal.
Culinary Artistry and Immersive Dining
Randheli’s gastronomy is as curated as its design. With five refined restaurants—including the acclaimed Le 1947, guests enjoy an unforgettable culinary journey. From French haute cuisine and Japanese fine dining to lagoon-side Mediterranean flavors, each meal is a celebration of precision, elegance, and location.
Dining can also be entirely bespoke, with private beachfront dinners, curated wine tastings, or exclusive chef-led experiences available upon request.
