About
Tucked away in the sparkling waters of the North Malé Atoll, Makunudu Island is a quiet sanctuary for those seeking an authentic Maldivian experience. A world away from modern distractions, this boutique resort blends rustic charm with natural beauty across just six acres of palm-shaded pathways, soft white sands, and crystal-clear waters. With only 36 traditionally designed beachfront bungalows, the island promises an atmosphere of privacy, seclusion, and personal attention.
Each bungalow features open-air garden showers, soft natural lighting, and warm wooden finishes, and thoughtful daily touches ensure a relaxing and effortless stay. Many of the Deluxe Beach Bungalows offer private patios and blissful views of the Indian Ocean, ideal for guests seeking uninterrupted peace.
Days on Makunudu Island revolve around the natural environment — there are no artificial distractions, only the clear turquoise waters, thriving coral reefs, and soft sea breezes. The island’s vibrant house reef is ideal for snorkelling straight from the shore, while the PADI-certified dive centre offers guided excursions to some of the region’s top dive sites, including Manta Point and Shark Point. A full range of non-motorised water activities from windsurfing to canoeing are also available for those wishing to make the most of the calm lagoon waters.
Dining at Makunudu Island is a celebration of flavour, simplicity, and the surrounding sea. At the heart of the experience is Ara Iru, the island’s open-air restaurant, where daily changing menus showcase a fusion of international favourites and authentic Maldivian cuisine. Weekly themed evenings and beach barbecues add variety and atmosphere, while personalised service ensures each dining experience feels both intimate and memorable. As the sun begins to set, guests can unwind at the Sand Bar, where handcrafted cocktails, chilled wines, and panoramic ocean views provide the perfect close to another day in paradise.
Nestled in a quiet corner of the island, the Aavun Spa is a tranquil haven where the sounds of the ocean and gentle island breezes set the tone for deep relaxation. Enjoy soothing massages, revitalising facials, and holistic treatments in open-air pavilions surrounded by nature. It’s the perfect place to relax, recharge, and embrace the island’s calm, restorative spirit.
