Step off the boat and into a dream—Makunudu Island isn’t just a destination, it’s an emotion; a hidden Maldivian treasure where time slows to the rhythm of the tides and barefoot luxury takes centre stage. Just a scenic 45-minute speedboat ride from Velana International Airport, this intimate six-acre island in the North Malé Atoll is an escape into paradise as nature intended—authentic, raw, and blissfully untouched. With only 36 beachfront bungalows tucked beneath coconut palms and fringed by powdery white sands, you’ll feel like the island belongs entirely to you.
This isn’t the Maldives of overbuilt resorts and bustling beaches; Makunudu delivers something far more rare—unfiltered simplicity blended with quiet sophistication. Whether you're diving among vibrant coral gardens, enjoying a private candlelit dinner on a remote sandbank, or swaying gently in a hammock with nothing but the breeze for company, every moment here is a feast for the senses.
Wake up to endless turquoise vistas, feel the warm kiss of the sun on your skin, and let the island’s peaceful rhythm wash over you. It’s the perfect sanctuary for couples, nature-lovers and those seeking true seclusion. With an eco-conscious ethos, indulgent spa treatments, daily snorkelling adventures, sunset dolphin cruises, and a restaurant offering fresh seafood and Maldivian-inspired flavours, every element of your stay is thoughtfully designed to reconnect you with the joy of living slowly. Makunudu Island doesn’t just give you a holiday—it gives you a memory that stays with you long after the tan fades.
