Kudafushi Resort & Spa

We were here in May 2023 for a 10 nights. Great resort, the island is just big enough for walking, everywhere clean. I must highlight the great staff, constantly caring and looking after us. We spent 5 nights in a beach villa and 5 nights in a water villa. I definitely recommend this resort. Maldives are magical place🩵

We stayed at Kudafushi Resort, and after our arrival it truly felt like we had entered paradise. I have never in my life experienced such attentive and welcoming staff. Whether at the reception, in the restaurants, housekeeping, or even the gardeners, everyone greets you with a smile and makes you feel at home. I would especially like to compliment the staff at the grill station, crêpe station, noodle station, and the burger and wrap station. It was such a pleasure talking to them and watching them prepare the food. Really a 10 out of 10 experience in terms of service. I also want to give a very big thank you to all the waiters. They were all incredibly kind and attentive, every single one of them. On my birthday, they surprised me with a beautifully decorated table, flowers, a birthday cake, and a song. Since I am usually a bit shy, it felt overwhelming at first, but looking back, I truly appreciated this thoughtful gesture and it made my day very special. As for the food, I personally found it varied enough. I am quite a picky eater, and I was always able to find something I enjoyed, even if I sometimes repeated dishes. Of course, the buffet is not as huge as in large hotels with thousands of guests, but that is to be expected on a small island with a limited number of visitors. During our stay there were also themed nights such as Spanish Night, Japanese Night, Maldivian Night, and even a vegetarian night. I found this a wonderful idea, because it gave variety and made sure that everyone felt included. On top of that, the more focused approach means less excess food, which is not only reasonable for an island of this size but also better for the environment. In the end, you get delicious meals and leave satisfied, and that is what matters most. The island itself is stunning. The turquoise water and the beach are simply breathtaking, and in my opinion, the main reason to come here. Honestly, if you just stay at the pool, you are missing the point. The beach and lagoon are the true highlights. During our stay, we also enjoyed relaxing at the Juju Bar. The atmosphere was great and the drinks were delicious. There are evening entertainment programs, but we were usually too tired to attend, so we cannot rate the entertainment. We also tried some of the activities. At the sports center, we rented a kayak, which is free of charge, and we went around the island. That was a wonderful experience. My partner also visited the diving center and tried the complimentary introductory dive. He found the staff there extremely friendly, and it was a lot of fun. In addition, he treated himself to a massage at the spa. It is certainly not cheap, but he said it was absolutely worth it. Since he prefers a strong massage due to back pain, he was very satisfied with the treatment and it matched his expectations perfectly. We spent about 6 to 7 days in a Beach Villa and then moved to a Water Villa for the last two days. Both were beautiful and luxurious, but we personally preferred the Beach Villa because of the direct access to the beach. The Water Villas are, of course, the iconic Maldivian experience, with a Jacuzzi bathtub and incredible views. However, I would have enjoyed the Water Villa even more if the stairs leading into the sea had not been so covered with algae, which made them slippery and less inviting to use. In the end, it comes down to personal taste, but both options are wonderful. Overall, Kudafushi is a paradise with outstanding staff, beautiful surroundings, and a truly special atmosphere. Thank you! Bahsi

From the moment we arrived at Kudafushi Resort and Spa, we felt an overwhelming sense of warmth and belonging. Never before have we felt so genuinely welcomed while on holiday – this place truly has a magic of its own. The beach is nothing short of world-class – breathtakingly beautiful and serene. But what truly sets this resort apart is the incredible staff. Every single team member is friendly, attentive, and full of heart. We have never encountered such kindness and hospitality anywhere else. We would especially like to highlight a few remarkable individuals who made our stay even more unforgettable. First and foremost, Alessio – our dedicated host. He greeted us with a smile each morning, took the time to chat with us, and addressed our every need with genuine care and attention. Next, we must sing the praises of the resort’s exquisite cuisine. A heartfelt thank you goes to Shajib, the all-rounder and grill master, and Mizan, the absolute pasta king. Both are not only incredibly talented chefs, but also truly lovely people with hearts of gold. The waitstaff and housekeeping team also deserve special recognition – each one of them went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. Friendly, respectful, and always smiling – simply outstanding. We’re are already counting the days until we can return to this very special place, surrounded by such wonderful people. Nicola und Sabrina

A wonderful resort located on an island in the middle of a stunning atoll. The hotel is perfect for both families with children and couples. There are several activities available and a beautiful house reef where you can see small sharks, turtles, rays, and colorful corals. The team goes above and beyond to make sure every guest has a great time.

We visited this beautiful island in June 2025. We had a beach villa with pool and we enjoyed every single moment of our stay. The staff was so welcoming and kind. We want to say a big "Thank you" to everyone of the staff we met during our time there. We also liked the fast and reliable connection to the front desk via WhatsApp. Our room was in good shape and got perfectly cleaned daily. The minibar was restocked daily according to our wishes. Our room attendant in 218 did an exceptional job. Food was great, although we would have liked to see a larger variety referring more to the buffet motto of each day. But besides that little room for improvement it was just great. We had a full all inclusive package. We liked the varierty of drinks, the quality of the alcohol used and the brands of the beers included in the AI could be improved. The house reef was our daily playground - we loved sorkeling and experiencing the vibrant underwater life of Kudafushi so much. Bringing our own snorkeling gear and underwater cameras was a good Idea, as borrowing or buying on the island can get a bit pricy. All in all we had a fantastic time on this wonderful island and we will very likely return to Kudafushi in the future. Thanks again to the wonderful staff that made every moment perfect.
