THE GROUP
Part of Holding Carisma
Holding Carisma is an Italian family-founded group dedicated to preserving and elevating the excellence of Italian craftsmanship through a long-term entrepreneurial vision. We invest at the intersection of heritage and ambition —in fashion & luxury, food, and hospitality, where craftsmanship meets culture and enduring value is built. Our partners are companies that carry the authenticity of Italian savoir-faire and the drive to grow beyond it — businesses we help evolve into distinctive, globally relevant players.
Where you truly belong
Born from a deep love for nature and a desire to create something truly personal, Nilaa was built with one guiding principle: to make every guest feel at home. After months of searching, we found an untouched island —sheltered by one of the most extraordinary reefs in the Maldives, in one of its most privileged and pristine corners of the world. What brought it to life was the dedication of an exceptional team collaboration turning passion into progress. Every detail has been crafted with care. Every choice made to let nature speak. Nilaa is not simply somewhere you go. It is something you feel.
LOCATION
Gaafu Dhaalu Atoll
CORAL ISLAND
South of Malé, on the Equator. An island shaped only by time and the sea. Here the monsoon softens. There are no true seasons, only warm days and calm nights in near-perfect balance. The reef is pristine and alive. Manta rays year around, whale sharks along the outer reef, turtles gliding by. Less explored. More private. Remarkably untouched.
LOCATION
The journey begins before you arrive
O NE HOUR FROM MALE’
Perched in a secluded corner of the Indian Ocean, Nilaa is a private island sanctuary defined by pristine nature. Reaching us is part of the experience. Fly into Malé International Airport, where you can choose to board our private jet or a local domestic flight for a one-hour journey to Maavarulu Airport. From there, our speedboat Kandu awaits to take you across crystal-clear waters—bringing you to the island in just 15 minutes
