Makunudu Island – A Tranquil, Intimate Hideaway
Makunudu Island offers the kind of secluded Maldivian escape that feels truly unplugged from the outside world. With its laid-back charm, pristine beaches, and an authentic approach to luxury, this boutique resort is perfect for couples and solo travellers seeking simplicity, serenity, and a strong connection to nature. Set in the North Male Atoll this special little island is the perfect place to disconnect and enjoy the wonderful natural setting.
Location
Situated in the North Malé Atoll, Makunudu Island is reached by a 45-minute speedboat ride from Velana International Airport. Far enough to feel remote but close enough for a comfortable journey, this distance strikes the perfect balance for an off-the-beaten-track escape without the need for a seaplane.
The Accommodation
Makunudu Island features just 36 beachfront bungalows, each styled with local materials and natural tones to blend into the island’s lush surroundings. Rooms are cosy and traditional, offering modern comforts like air conditioning, open-air showers, and direct beach access. Dining is a highlight, with the Ara Iru restaurant serving fresh seafood and international cuisine, and special beach dinners available for romantic occasions.
Activities, Snorkelling and Diving
Makunudu Island is home to a healthy house reef that is easily accessible for snorkellers and supports a variety of colourful marine life. The island’s dive centre offers PADI courses and excursions to over 30 nearby dive sites, including thilas and wrecks, making it a great base for divers of all levels. Kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, and cultural experiences like Maldivian cooking classes add further depth to the activity offerings.
Conservation and Giving Back
Makunudu Island maintains a gentle ecological footprint, working to protect its natural surroundings through responsible waste management and conservation of its reef and beach environment. While there is no formal marine biology program, the resort encourages sustainable practices and offers guests information on local wildlife and environmental awareness.
