PB hotel design editorial

Scattered across a private atoll in the Noonu archipelago, roughly forty-five minutes by seaplane from Malé, the ensemble of structures that makes up Cheval Blanc Randheli represents one of the more considered attempts to bring genuine design authorship to the Maldivian overwater villa typology. LVMH's first Maison in the Indian Ocean, opened in 2013, engaged French architect Jean-Michel Gathy of Denniston International — the practice behind Aman's most architecturally rigorous properties — to develop a resort of 46 villas that refuses the thatched-hut pastiche common to the atoll. From above, the layout traces the natural curvature of the reef, overwater villas extending from both flanks of the island on timber jetties, their grey thatch rooflines low against the horizon. Gathy's interiors layer a refined tropical modernism: high pitched ceilings lined with split bamboo cane hover above bedrooms furnished with dark-stained teak four-poster frames, woven sisal underfoot, and walls in pale lime render that hold the equatorial light without competing with it. The palette throughout — warm taupe, slate grey, touches of chartreuse — carries the signature of the LVMH Maison sensibility: restrained but unmistakably calibrated. The main pavilion opens entirely to a long reflecting pool flanked by clipped hedges and white cabana frames, a composition that has more in common with a Jacques Wirtz garden than any conventional resort vernacular. Cylinder pendant clusters and circular freestanding soaking tubs complete an interior language that feels considered at every scale.

"This is probably the best property in the Maldives in my opinion. The attention to detail, the branding, the service and culinary experience are just unbelievable. Everything from their airport lounge, to their sea plane, villa and spa is top notch. My butler Mr G deserves a very special mention. He's probably the best butler I've ever had too. Thanks to everyone for making this so special for me and my family 🙏"

"Amazing Spa. Behannan is the best therapist in all the Maldives. All the Guerlain spa is beautiful and you can experience many products there. As for the resort, I guess it s not my cup of tea, plastic thatched roofs are a definitive ethical problem for me, a daily disappointment to watch, we care about the environment and to see so much plastic all around the ocean and nature is something you do not wish to experience. I don t consider this " luxury". On the other hand all staff are super nice and welcoming and they went the extra mile to make us feel cared about, excellent and efficient professionals. I felt the hotel restaurants are understaffed, as all meal orders at all times take too much time. Special thanks to our butler Adhly and the general manager who were especially lovely."

"Cheval Blanc Randheli isn’t a resort — it’s a masterclass in how luxury should feel. From the moment you arrive, the service sets a tone that never slips. Every interaction is anticipatory without being intrusive, warm without being casual, and executed with a level of precision that only the very best properties in the world achieve. Nothing feels scripted, yet nothing is ever missed. It’s the rare kind of hospitality where you feel genuinely known, not managed. The hotel itself is breathtaking. Randheli is visually flawless — architecture, landscaping, interiors, light — all working together in quiet harmony. Every angle feels intentional. Villas are serene, elegant, and impossibly comfortable, floating between modern restraint and Maldivian romance. This is beauty that doesn’t shout; it whispers, confidently. The water sports program deserves special praise. Immaculately run, safety-forward, and staffed by professionals who clearly love what they do. Whether you’re snorkeling, jet skiing, or simply exploring the water, the experience feels seamless and elevated — never rushed, never amateur. Equipment is pristine, instruction is thoughtful, and the ocean becomes part of the resort’s living room. And then there’s the food — starting with pastry that borders on the divine. Chef Arthurr Lambert’s pastries are in a category of their own. Precise, expressive, and deeply indulgent without ever being heavy. Each creation feels intentional, balanced, and joyful — the kind of pastry that makes you stop mid-conversation because your brain needs a moment. World-class is an understatement. The Italian cuisine across the resort is equally exceptional. Authentic, soulful, and executed with confidence. This isn’t hotel Italian — it’s the kind of cooking that respects tradition while embracing the setting. Fresh ingredients, perfect pacing, and flavors that linger just long enough to make you plan your next meal before finishing the last. What ultimately separates Cheval Blanc Randheli from other ultra-luxury resorts is coherence. Everything — service, design, food, activity, atmosphere — works in concert. There are no weak notes. No “almosts.” It’s rare to find a place that exceeds expectations at this level. Rarer still to find one that does it effortlessly. Cheval Blanc Randheli doesn’t just raise the bar — it reminds you where it was always supposed to be. , superb service, impeccable food and pastry."

"Wonderful food, excellent service and beautiful, large rooms. Our view on the sunset side was not great and our lagoon was very short and shallow before hitting a man-made dam. So we didn’t quite get the beautiful big lagoon Feel. Lots of friendly guests on the island, manager is incredible. The spa is wonderful. I highly recommend the lifting facial. Scuba diving in this area is not particularly exciting. But wonderful six nights."
