Sabine, Switzerland

The island is amazing and peaceful. Makunudu is unique in maldives and we would definately come back as soon as we can as we felt home from the first day. All resort staff are dedicated to satisfy the guests and to provide outstanding services which we never experienced anywhere else. Thank you to Soonil, Arjay and Anwar for making our stay great and amazing.

Food and service was excellent! We were on all inclusive which was a very good choice so you don’t need to worry about anything. If you are looking for a beautiful barefoot islandlife, this is your place. We enjoyed quiet time and didn’t miss or want any kind of entertainment. Great place for snorkeling and reading a book.

You, Finland

Very good location with a lovely reef and beaches.

Michael, United Arab Emirates

An amazing place. From the moment you are met at the airport and stepping on the boat you are made to feel special . The whole island is amazing and staffed by equally amazing people. The rooms are huts all with direct access to the beach and the warm Indian Ocean. Our room was clean, spacious and well equipped with kettle,fridge,air con and had an outside bathroom and there is free WiFi throughout the island. Meal times were special as the food was excellent,plentiful and plenty of choice and served by friendly,smiling staff. Overall we loved our 4 nights stay here and would recommend to anyone if you want paradise,informalities,peace, quiet and have wonderful staff to look after you .

The heavy food... North European heavy winter cooking (wine sauce and Spätzli) by 35 degrees 🤦🏼‍♀️. Wish they would understand Spanish/Italian style summer cooking is more adapted to Tropical weather
The style of the architecture, lovely Robinson Crusoe style, with all the needed comfort. Fantastic night dive in the beautiful house reef.

I hope they make this island for adults only. There is nothing for kids and I hope they will keep it that way. Still there were 2-3 families with small children who were crying and disturbing peace and quietness.
Food and service was excellent! We were on all inclusive which was a very good choice so you don’t need to worry about anything.

“strange place”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • Bungalow - Beach Front
- • Stayed 2 nights
the food is not gourmet or fine dining as the website says but rather makes use of canned and processed food and caters to people with zero palette. The staff is nice but the management is a little clinging and says the same thing to guests over and over which doesn’t make them feel at home but rather like they are robots. Additionally, the staff snickered when two women were sharing a bed, a strange nod to their ultra conservative views- just for anyone reading the review that may by lgbqt or going on vacation with a friend of the same gender. we generally felt uneasy the whole time.
the room was lovely, except for the open bathroom which allowed for tons of mosquitos and bugs to get in which ate us alive both in the room and especially in the bathroom. the spa treatments were great.
