Makunudu island is a true relaxing Maldivian resort with welcoming staff and idyllic seclusion. A small village-style resort, Makunudu island attracts mostly European couples who settle – sometimes for three weeks at a time – in 36 bungalows located on six acres of sand. The locals opened this hotel in 1982, and it is one of the oldest resorts in the Maldives. There is no swimming pool, no specialist restaurant. The spa is a small, but still popular, massage hut. There are few organised entertainments and excursions.

Indulge in a celebration of international cuisines in sumptuous buffets of meats, fish and tropical fruits, table-served set menus, and once a week, a sizzling barbecue and a delicious slice of local spice in a magnificent Maldivian buffet dinner. Quench your thirst in the Sand Bar day or night with refreshing drinks and sunset cocktails, cooled by the ocean breeze, making conversation with fellow travellers. For those special occasions, a personally crafted candlelit dinner beneath the stars on the beach, in your bungalow or other private locations is an experience to truly savour;

When it comes to drinks, Sand Bar is the perfect spot with a breezy deck for sunset cocktails – opt for an oceanside table out on the deck to soak up the views. Live entertainment takes place twice a week: Friday is a traditional drum dance, and on Tuesdays there is a group of two performers that plays live music. The bar are open until the last customer.
