Makunudu Island reviews
Oct 2010, jane
Holiday brochure pictures are pre tsunami, there is hardly any sand on west facing beach, tree roots, broken wire sticking out of the sand, broken concrete and lots of dead coral. Villa 17 very noisey as there is a generator right beside it and men working with power saws.... more

We visited Makunudu on the second leg of our honeymoon. This was the relaxing week after a week of action touring round Sri Lanka. That is exactly what we got! A very small island with just 36 (or so) rooms. The staff were very friendly and became very familiar. We had the... more

Makunudu Island is about 1 hour speedboat ride from Male Airport. The Island is very small and has approximately 36 roms, which are all semi-detached (attached by the bathroom). You can walk around the Island in around 10 minutes. The staff were brilliant, and nothing was... more

Excellent Holiday Escape!!!
from Mysz
I've just returned from spending 7 amazing days on Makunudu (Jan 6 - 13). The island is very small yet intimate and is an ideal escape if you are after a quiet, relaxing and peaceful holiday. The staff are amazing and very friendly and the island's house reef is fantastic for both snorkelling and scuba diving. The resort organizes many excursions and trips so there is always something to do, however apart from the 'Very special snorkel trip' we pretty much just chose to lay on the beach and go for the occasional snorkel! The food is...

Wonderful Holiday!!!
from airplanedriver
My husband and I had a wonderful stay at Makunudu - Oct 2-9. We booked air independently through Emirates Airlines from JFK-DXO-MLE. $1480usd pp. Main cabin. The air service was good as well as the food. The seats were very cramped though. We had a 6 hour layover at Dubai Airport. However, we went to the Dubai Int'l Hotel, located inside the secured area, 2nd floor, and used their Health Club ("G-Force"). We both used the sauna, pool, gym, steam room, jacuzzi, and showers (no time limit on any of this--you can also buy...

Good Honeymoon Location
from Maddymoo
My husband and I arrived at Makunudu on a late flight from Singapore and were promptly located at the airport by the travel agent representative and were shown to the cafe to wait for other passengers for the boat trip to Maknunudu. The boat trip was fast. We were very tired when we got to the resort as it was after mid night and after filling in the necessary paperwork were shown to our room (number 15). The room was in typical Maldivian style and was quite cute but the furntiure and fittings are dated so don't expect luxury. Our...

Second time around
from AlisonDavies
We have just returned from this beautiful island having stayed in Sept 2003. Nothing changed - service is excellent, staff friendly and food of a very high standard (and plenty of it we were AI and it seemed virtually non-stop!) First week sunny, second week couple of rainy days but hot and humid. We went diving every day and also a couple of night dives. Diving excellent and varied dive sites. Not much else here to do if you don't dive but in the morning usually there was only us two and a guide on the boat! Cost $720 for 16...

A True Hideaway!!!
from Dutchees
My husband and I spent our honeymoon for two weeks here at Makunudu. In one word: AWESOME!!!! This was a true honeymoon, a hideaway; not a huge resort which is only commercial. This place is unique and very special. Some other guests stayed another week at another resort and then booked this hotel. They immediately said that this was different, staff was nicer and not too touristic or commercial oriented. Another couple did a retreat to a spa resort and also confirmed that once you are back on the island the true bounty...

Makunudu - everything we'd hoped for, and more!!
from A TripAdvisor Member
We have just returned from two wonderful weeks on Makunudu. Everything - and I do mean everything was absolutely wonderful. The island is small, idyllic, intimate, and sympathetically developed (unlike some!). The staff were superb, the food was wonderful, and there was a good range of excursions, activities etc, considering the isolated nature of the holiday. If this is your type of holiday, and you are looking for a small intimate slice of heaven - this is the place. And it's not just for honeymooners!
Stunning Islanad - great holiday!
from HLR
My husband and I visited Makunudu at the start of January for our honeymoon. We stayed for a week and could easily have stayed a few days longer as we had such a great time. The island is beautiful and although it is small we found that there was plenty to do. We were on an all inclusive package and we had snorkelling equipment provided to us for the week; a free mini diving experience and wind surfing lessons. There is also a badminton court, table tennis and numerous board games for entertainment as well. There are also excursions...

A wonderfull holiday destination.
from A TripAdvisor Member
My husband and I went to Makunudu with Tradewinds. We were very quickly transferred from the airport to the island which was great after a long journey, and when we got there we were met by Anna (the guest relations lady). We were checked in quickly and given refreshments. Our room was 16. It was lovely and airy and though not luxurious, it was charming and very clean. The shower was great and we always had plenty of hot water for the shower. Directly outside we had a section of beach which we shared with one other bungalow...

Makunudu review
from A TripAdvisor Member
Myself and My husband stayed in Makunudu for 2 weeks at the end of July. It is a very small island so the staff get to know you really well. As has been mentioned there are 36 bunaglows all detached. We stayed in number 33. Even though the bungalows are detached when you are sunbathing on the beach we found that we were very close to our neighbours - so not very private in that way but everybody more or else keeps to themselves. Though as had been said also the lower your room number the more privacy you seem to have, basically having the...

a top Malidive Island
from A TripAdvisor Member
We've been to the maldives a couple of times, and always found it difficult to find out what all the islands are like and choose which ones to go to - all the comments tend to be so enthusiastic. I'm afraid this one is too. Makunudu was the best Maldivian Island we have stayed on. We went because we wanted somewhere a bit more private, remote and not too packagy. luxurious, but not sterile. romantic, but with great diving. And with good food. It delivered all of these. Its small, and has 36 bungalows, all semi detached, all...

Choosing on which Maldives island to holiday, is not quite as easy as it might sound. Although each of those that have been designated by the government as 'Tourist Destinations' are, of course, islands within the atolls of the Indian Ocean. But there the similarity ends.... more
