Noku Maldives feels quite different from the usual polished resort experience. It has a more intimate, understated character, with villas tucked into thick tropical greenery and a lovely white-sand beach. The Japanese influence is a nice touch too, especially in the design and food. I liked that it feels peaceful and unhurried, rather than trying too hard to impress.
