Loved the feeling of being on a secluded, peaceful island that felt authentic in design and decor rather than like a Westernized modern hotel. The staff were incredibly nice. There was a variety of delicious and fresh food everyday. The sea activities were plentiful. The massage at the spa was deeply restful and high quality. We stayed at three different places in the Maldives and this was our favorite.

Makundu resort is the ultimate gateway place. The island is a small piece of paradise surrounded by blue water and sandy beaches. You can do snorkeling, diving and water sport but if you are looking for some peace and quiet you can just find it in the Beach in front of your room. There are around 30 rooms on the resort so you can get a lot of privacy and quiet in your room area. The restaurant is really good with reach breakfast and set menu dinners (exceptions are Tuesday which is a barbecue night and Friday which is a Maldivian nights, both are buffet). the staff is very friendly and kind. In the evening you can enjoy the bar (average Maldivian resort prices) but also, see shark feeding, stroll around the beach and see the stars. We Had an amazing week and we will definitely come back.

It's the third time we're coming back to Makunudu! It has become like a second home! The island and the resort are as beautiful as there were before. The service, the restaurant, the sand and sunset bars, the bungalow are just perfect!

This is an island to go to If you want a soft and calm holiday. We came here from a resort island on the north atoll and this is quite different. Here most guests are older and there are few wedding couples. Guest from europe and few russians. (Other resorts have lots of russian tourists)
Tempo is lovely slowmotion on this small island and you walk around it in 20 minutes.
What is uniquely with Makunudu? You got the wildlife around you and a living reef with excellent snorkeling from the beach. Sue and Ricardo (divecenter) welcome you with tip on good spots for snorkeling and arrange also tours. They are really great and Sues energi is wonderful!
All staff is very good and food are various and good tasting. We had All Inclusive with a selected drinklist. Compared with the first resort, a smaller selection, but ok.
Yes, wifi is really slow, but you can watch Netflix at home. Wifi 1 mbit down at villas.
This is a genuine island, not partyparty with loud music and noicy children, quite the opposite. We loved it and suggest 5-7 days stay.
Good connection at Male and we had just a shorts time at airport. Speedboat about 50 minutes one way and you need that distance away from Male so you can avoid all buzz with traffic around Male and all contianer ships.
Makunudu is affordable and we strongly recommend this place If you like a soft and calm place with great sealife from the beach. And YES, I finally met Nemo!!
