There’s a refreshingly uncomplicated approach on this small island. A single restaurant, one bar, and just one type of accommodation keep things utterly simple.
Makunudu Island is the epitome of an original Maldivian retreat. There’s an untouched, far-flung, desert island feel about this tiny resort, where there are always fewer than 100 guests at any moment. It’s a place that’s shunned grandiose overwater villas and myriad restaurants to appeal to those who want to enjoy pure simplicity where the location does all the talking.
Why we love Makunudu Island
-
Experience genuine escapism on an island that celebrates its location above all else
-
For special occasions, dine by candlelight beneath a starry sky on Makunudu Island’s beach
-
Upgrade to All Inclusive to have your drinks taken care of and enjoy a complimentary snorkelling trip
-
Gorgeously understated thatched bungalows are nostalgic and traditional
Rooms
The 36 rooms are dotted around the island and they’re all Deluxe Beach Bungalows, set amid tropical vegetation and just steps from the ocean. They are charmingly traditional in style, crafted in local wood and stone with high thatched ceilings and earthy hues. Each room has an open-air shower and private sun loungers, but what you won’t find is an in-room TV to distract you from what’s important here – unwinding in the glorious surroundings (although for those who need it, there is free Wi-Fi).
Traditional bungalows set amid tropical vegetation, sleeping a maximum of four (three adults and one child age 3-11 or two adults and two children).

Simplicity isn’t at the expense of variety – you’ll still get a great choice of options at the island’s single restaurant, Ara Iru. Elsewhere, Sand Bar brings guests together to enjoy the sunset over a tropical cocktail.
Ara Iru
Blends impressive and colourful buffets with set menus and weekly barbeques.
Sand Bar
Refreshing drinks by day and cocktails by night.

PADI dive courses are available from the island’s dive centre. Choose from snorkelling lessons, including a memorable sunset nurse shark snorkelling, kayaking, fishing, windsurfing, and paddle boarding.

With its limited facilities, this island treads a little lighter than others
