Kudadoo Maldives Private Island – Luxury All Inclusive

Kudadoo was one of the most special and incredible places we have ever stayed. The staff is so friendly and attentive. Our butler Hussain took care of our every need, personalizing our itinerary and making edits on the fly. We took advantage of so many fun excursions and activities, ate so many delicious meals, and spent time relaxing by our pool. We can't speak highly enough about our experience. The food was some of the best we have ever had, from the oysters to the sashimi; the quality was exquisite. One of us has Celiac and must eat gluten-free, and the staff were incredibly accommodating. They made practically anything on the menu gluten-free, from the fish and chips to the zucchini corn fritters. Our favorites were the soft-shell crab burger, the oysters, salmon sashimi, and the blackened reef fish. Also, the 5.8 restaurant is definitely worth the additional cost. Eating under the ocean surface was awesome. We saw so many different types of fish, and even saw an eagle ray and a few sharks! We suggest doing it for dinner, so you get the full spectrum of marine life as the sun sets. As for experiences, take advantage of everything. At least one of us got a massage each day we were there. We loved the watersports, from Jetboarding to SeaBobbing and Jet Skiing. We had some lovely meals, from breakfast floating in the pool to dinner in the sand under the stars. We took such fun workout classes with Channa, like water aerobics in our pool and gym training sessions. We also had a fun 30-minute professional photo shoot, which was included in our stay. We truly had the experience of a lifetime and absolutely recommend staying at Kudadoo!

That was amazing experience and wonderful stay, every activity was included, Jet Ski, Snorkeling, Spa massage on villa Aqua Fitness on villa pool every day. Butler Saeed was very kind and friendly, and did everything for us just in time! Also Chenna aqua fitness instructor did great job working out interesting workouts with us every day in pool

We have stayed at different resorts in the Maldives during our yearly visit to the country and we can honestly say this has been the Resort and Experience that made us decide that this will be the place to be when we come to the Maldives. There’s really nothing to comment except that we wish we booked longer to stay here. Hussein, our amazing butler, made sure that our stay is nothing short of phenomenal. The customer service is the best. Food is excellent. Massages and the spa, we can’t get enough of them. The different dining experiences was a WOW! Housekeeping service is topnotch. You really have to stay here to experience it all. We can’t wait to come back!

We’ve just returned from an unforgettable break in the Maldives, staying at the breathtaking Kudadoo. While the website content and images are impressive, and the TA reviews simply endorse the experience you will receive, nothing can quite prepare you for the sheer uniqueness of Kudadoo. It is truly one of a kind and must be experienced to be fully appreciated. The level of personalization and almost endless possibilities make Kudadoo unique. The attention to detail and care from each and every member of the staff we met was unparalleled, especially our butler, Saeed. At Kudadoo, you create your own Maldivian experience, doing as much or as little as you please in intimate surroundings where the resort staff know your name, and fellow guests (if you happen to see them) share a mutual appreciation for the privilege of experiencing such a resort. Our experience was made by the entire team; we were welcomed as friends and left as family. However, we simply must acknowledge our butler Saeed, who was nothing short of outstanding, Dev from the Kudadoo spa, Vivek, who looked after us at dinner on our final night, and Kaleem from the dive team, who allowed me to rediscover the beauty of the underwater world after 19 years. Having been fortunate enough to travel extensively and experience some of the most amazing resorts in the world, we can confidently say that the hospitality at Kudadoo is second to none. Thank you and bravo, we will be back.

Kudadoo is a tiny island, perfect for a private and secluded getaway, with your partner, for a honeymoon or, like in my case, to spend quality time with my mum. And yes, Kudadoo is the picture perfect resort of the Maldives with all the “must haves” anyone would ask for: powdery cream colored sand, shades of blue that go from turquoise to deep navy, a gorgeous coral reef to snorkel with your butler if you are alone (yes, you read correctly, your own private butler will go snorkeling with you if you wish to... I did and it was the most amazing experience I had there), multiple “instagrammable” locations (guests can also access the sister property Hurawalhi and dine there in various restaurants, the underwater 5.8 one of the most spectacular underwater restaurant in the world), exquisitely decorated villas, where every tiny detail you could think of is there for your comfort, as Team Kudadoo is already way ahead of you (think reef safe sunscreen, slippers and beach thongs, mosquito repellent which you will never use, even a pencil case and drawing paper if you feel inspired), a gorgeous infinity pool overlooking the sea, where you will spot dolphins, turtles and sharks, and the occasional eagle ray, a small but perfectly spacious spa, where you can have a candlelight bath overlooking the sea, and a beautiful Bar in orange and golden hues that will melt with the colors of the sunset, as if they were only one… but one extremely important thing and precisely what makes a very big difference about Kudadoo is that it’s fully eco friendly and sustainable, with 928 solar panels on the roof of their main building (The Retreat), which makes it completely functional only with solar power, with no need to use fuel, and they desalinate the sea water to produce their own still and sparkling water, therefore contributing to the carbon footprint and welfare of the environment and ecosystem. Every little detail is thought off, like the information panel for guests to learn about tides, sunrise and sunset timing, energy produced and energy saved, etc. They have many buggies to take you around the island if you don’t feel like walking, and they will have your name engraved on a wooden panel (for you to bring back home) in one of them when you first arrive at the resort. They will always provide sunscreen and toiletries whenever you are at the pool, leave snacks at your villa with the turndown service, many unexpected things that makes you fall in love with the whole concept of the resort: AAA (anything, anywhere, anytime) is a truly impressive experience.

This is a very small resort, with exceptional service. You are assigned a concierge with access via WhatsApp and anything you ask for, they seem to have. There’s an amazing wine cellar and a great cheese cave, free massages, private yoga sessions, etc. I got a pizza with black truffles and was shocked when they had my favorite Brunello in stock. I love mangosteen and I think we ate a few dozen. The rooms are great, very private with great views. One day, we had a private breakfast on an adjacent island in an underwater aquarium. I booked this in conjunction with a trip to Singapore and made two mistakes. First, it was a bit rainy. I’ll go directly next time at a drier time of year. Also, I didn’t book the private direct plane, but a plane shared with other guests including an adjacent resort. Not a terrible flight, but I prefer things in my timetable. So, expect a return visit.
