A castaway paradise in the Maldives, just a short hop from Malé - includes breakfast, dinner, optional all-inclusive, and more
  • Island home-from-home: Tucked along the beach front, all of Makunudu's beach bungalows are built in the traditional Maldivian style, with rustic thatched roofs and tropical greenery all around. Wash away sand and sea salt in your private garden shower, and take shaded afternoon naps on your sun lounger. The best thing? The soft sound of the waves lapping the beach as you fall asleep.

  • Food, glorious food: Open all day, Ara Iru Restaurant is a laid-back spot for buffet-style dining, fresh seafood and local delicacies, whilst the Sand Bar is your go-to for ice-cold tipples. For an extra-atmospheric stay, the resort is on-hand to arrange everything from candlelit dinners in a private treehouse to sunset champagne cruises on a dhoni boat and private lunches on a secluded sandbank.

  • Soul-soothing spa: Aavun Spa offers an excellent selection of bespoke therapies that incorporate Maldivian, Asian and European techniques. In addition to a comprehensive menu of massages, you can indulge in a variety of spa rituals - the standout Maldivian Journey includes a hydrating coconut oil massage followed by an exfoliating coconut body scrub.

Makunudu Island, North Malé Atoll, Maldives

Get away it from all - far, far away in the midst of the vast Indian Ocean. Tiny Makunudu Island is barely locatable on a map, but you may be pleasantly surprised to find it’s only a 50-minute speedboat ride from Malé. There’s a PADI dive centre onsite and conveniently, a brilliant house reef that’s reachable from the beach. If exploring the depths isn’t your only hobby, the resort offers wind-surfing, canoeing and even speed-boat rental, as well as badminton and volleyball. While in paradise, why not try something truly unforgettable? Take a catamaran for a spin on the vibrant blue waves or enjoy a trip around the atoll on a dreamy island-hopping excursion.
