Makunudu Island

Fell in love with the hospitality, the scenery and the people there. The hospitality - they care about the little details, be it around food, accommodation, the bar or the activities. The scenery - such a peaceful and yet lively place it is. We have enjoyed it in all colours the sunrise, the sunset or be it the nights. The people - well just waaoo, the people are amazing here 👏. The staff here really cares. And a very special thanks to - Su and Riccardo (lots of love ❤️) you made this trip a memory for the lifetime be it our shared boat rides or water activities, we will definitely meet again. Saifu man without you we wouldn't have been able to adventure at all. 🎊 Athee you're a beautiful soul keep smiling. 😇 Thanks to all. Will visit again, and always in our heart. ❤️

We returned to visit Makunudu Island in January. It’s as charming as ever with fantastic staff . The transfer was efficient . There was a slight delay for the boat as guests were gathered. On arrival we received a wonderful greeting from staff and General Manager Mr Shaughy and were presented with a handcrafted necklace which was quite unique. Our bungalow for the 2 weeks had been upgraded with a patio area and refurbished bathroom . A great improvement with the bathroom , it appeared more spacious and newly tiled with an excellent shower . The huge bed was decorated with flowers and wine and fruit had been left for our enjoyment. Ibrahaim took care of the room and was such a joy to see each day , always laughing and smiling and checking everything was ok . The room was cleaned to a very good standard . Weather was mixed on our first week , spells of rain and a few thunderstorms which I really enjoyed! It passed and thankfully the sun returned. It was great to see our waiter from last year Lasantha , so friendly and did a wonderful job . He was on the ball with everything. We thoroughly enjoyed the meals . I think the standard was even better this year . Plenty to choose from , a varied menu with some creative ideas . Maldivian night was deliciously spicy, a real treat . We had the opportunity to see a Cookery demonstration which was quite expensive for what it was . It was supposed to be for an hour but was over too quickly and for $30 per person did not feel good value . We did get to sample the curry created at dinner that evening though . Fantastic to see KD and Saif at the Dive and Watersports Centre. We always have fun with these guys . Went on a few snorkel trips and were lucky enough to go out on the speedboat and see the Manta rays this year. KD took us on a Catamaran trip around the island . It wasn’t quite as windy as he would have liked ( likes to go fast apparently) but was a really pleasant trip and a chance to chat and learn a bit about life in the Maldives . Always worth a trip to the Spa , I visited a couple of time , it was bliss ! Bar guys with their eagle eyes never miss an empty glass and regularly kept us well replenished . Each one is very friendly and efficient. The only thing we would request would be more evening entertainment. We missed the Maldivian drummers and a chance to dance would have been fun 🤩. Sadly the rain did stop some of the planned activities our first week and we didn’t get the chance to experience Bonfire on the Beach night . But Movie Night on the beach was a lovely idea . We would highly recommend Angelfish as the travel agent for the Maldives . They are super professional with a few surprise treats involved which was very much appreciated. Apart from the changes in the weather patterns, Makunudu continues to get full marks from us and will always have a special place in our hearts 💕 . It’s still an authentic, friendly, peaceful, well managed island that we would definit
