loved the intimacy of the resort ! very different to past experiences at other Maldivian resorts . will definitely return . our cottage right on the beach was very romantic . our 20 th anniversary was observed by the hotel and they made an amazing effort to make it special.

A hidden gem! If you're looking for peace and relaxation, then look no other resort. The Island is small and private in every mean. All the beach villas have private beach. Snorkeling in the house coral reefs was an amazing experience. The water is clean and clear, turquoise. Really Heaven on Earth. The bonus for the resort is the staff, all the staff in the hotel are kind and hospitable. The service is unmatched compared to other well known resorts in Maldives. We didn't want to leave on the last day. The dinner is set course which is of the highest quality and breakfast is top, 5 stars to the chef in charge. A must visit resort for all you travelers.

Great resort for a family getaway. The staff were really friendly and service oriented. Good house Reef for snorkeling and diving and an Excellent dive centre. We enjoyed our dives. Less than 50 minutes by speed boat from Male. Rooms were comfortable - good beds.

It was an exceptional experience at Makunudu Resort, from the staff, to the hospitality, stay, food and the views. Couldn’t have asked for anything more! Special thanks to Anandu at the front desk, Bhaskar at the restaurant and Sushil at the bar. Would definitely visit again.

Friendly staff, peaceful location and amazing views! Just WOW

The staff and food was good. Also, the diving team were amazing especially Hussien.

Calm, relaxed, no noise or DJ. Food was excellent. Villa was lovely. Ants and lizards were a bit of a sight but it’s a tropical island it’s to be expected.

A gem of an island! Everything was lovely, the food delicious, the staff very accommodating from the Manager Kuntal, FO staff Jhoanne and Anandhu, bar staff Melon and the whole restaurant team. Thanks guys! Enjoyed our stay here! Highly recommended.

The island and the rooms are great. Not too many people and feels like you are in your private island. Each bungalow has its own beach. The food was really great.

Good breakfast, great efforts on the set menu every evening. Different things done to keep the guests entertained like the sunset cocktail bar, the barbecue night, the gala dinners on New year's and Christmas.
