OUTRIGGER Maldives Maafushivaru reopens exclusive Lonubo Private Island

OUTRIGGER Maldives Maafushivaru Resort is excited to announce the exclusive re-opening of Lonubo, a private island retreat that takes barefoot luxury to a new level. This enchanting island is now available for hire, offering discerning travellers an unparalleled experience of privacy, serenity, and bespoke indulgence.

Situated just 200 meters from OUTRIGGER Maldives Maafushivaru Resort and accessible only by private boat, Lonubo Island provides a secluded escape for those seeking to disconnect and immerse themselves in nature. The island’s ambiance is perfectly curated with plush sun loungers, beanbags, sunshades, and refreshing beverages—set against a backdrop of swaying palm trees, powdery white sands, and the shimmering turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean.

“Lonubo has been reimagined as a sanctuary for guests who value exclusivity and barefoot luxury,” says John Allanson, General Manager of OUTRIGGER Maldives Maafushivaru. “It’s a tropical paradise where our guests can enjoy a truly personalised experience, whether they seek a tranquil daytime getaway or a magical evening under the stars. Lonubo is redefining what it means to relax in paradise.”

Guests can select from a range of curated experiences designed to cater to every preference:
