Kudafushi Resort & Spa - All Inclusive

It was our tenth trip to the Maldives and we were a little apprehensive, afraid we'd be jaded or simply disappointed. In fact, quite the opposite - we had our best stay ever at Kudafushi. Superb weather from start to finish, a magnificent lagoon, a beautiful island and probably the best resort from every point of view. The villas are spacious and finely decorated, and the bathrooms are brilliant. The hotel staff are attentive, welcoming without being intrusive. It's also the best buffet we've had so far, with a wide variety of cuisine and a grill serving fresh fish every lunchtime and evening. A small detail that makes all the difference: your drinks are only served when you arrive at the table. But what makes all the difference is the exceptional quality of the reef, which gave us the best snorkeling ever, with an unprecedented diversity of species (leopard rays, sharks, turtles, moray eels, octopus, cuttlefish, and the grail: manta rays just a stone's throw from the boat ressort, an unforgettable experience). We were lucky enough to be upgraded to a stilt house with pool for the last two days, and to top it all off, a dolphin visited us in the late afternoon, literally at the foot of our water villa.

We absolutely loved our time at Kudafushi. We wanted a chill out holiday at the end of a tough year amd we certainly got that. We did activities each day but mostly enjoyed the beautiful sea water and villa pool. Staff were so friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Food was top notch in the main buffet or restaurants all meats and fish that we tried were beautifully cooked. The island is very small but has everything you need to unwind. Special mention to the Spa where we had our best couples massage ever! Would definitely consider a revisit and recommend. The villas with pools are especially wonderful.

I can’t even begin to describe this beautiful little island. After landing by sea plane I felt instantly that I had arrived in total paradise. We were greeted by the most courteous staff and welcomed instantly by a beautiful lady called Marta she explained that Kudafushi in Maldive language means “tiny island” She also asked me if there was anything in particular that I was hoping to do while there on my holiday , I explained that I would love to plant a tree in memory of my late daughter who passed away in 2018 age 22 and forever pregnant with her little girl , Marta told me she would try her best to help me achieve that. I travelled with my cousin and we had booked an over the water villa with our own private pool. Black tipped sharks would swim every evening around the beach area next to the water villas, amazing to see . The pool was so big and the room was oozing the true Maldive island vibe. The villa was outstanding and it was so clean, the cleaner Salanty was outstanding, he called him wee Sal , nothing was too much trouble for him and he was always checking in on us to see if we needed anything. He is a total credit to Kudafushi and one evening he even decorated my bed beautifully with flowers for me . A huge shout out to wee Sal we will never forget you. As we were there for 10 nights the first couple of day we just wanted time to chill out and enjoy the villa . We ordered room service a number of times for food and drinks for a couple of nights, there was a 60 percent charge for the in- villa dining but it was well worth it and gave us the time to just totally relax and settle in which is what we needed at that time. Our room service was delivered by two fantastic guys called Lost and Shazeen , they both were also outstanding and so kind, helpful and friendly. We had an instant connection with Lost and we were so glad that we met him, we can’t praise him enough, such a kind , friendly and genuine lovely man. Meeting him really made our holiday. One morning we ordered a floating breakfast, I can’t recommend this enough it was seriously amazing, compared to other resorts the price of this was well worth it and much cheaper, so if your going to Kudafushi put that on your to do list you won’t regret it, incredible ! We had booked the all inclusive deal , there is two all inclusive deals , one with drinks included and there is the option of the soft all inclusive, the pina coladas, cocktails and African white white were a big hit for us and were so delicious so we were glad we chose the full all inclusive. The North sail restaurant was also amazing with such a huge selection, as a British I was a little worried prior to going as I like simple meals however I decided to be a little adventurous and tried things I would never had dreamed of eating before but the food was so delicious I couldn’t fault it at all. There was a lady that worked most days at the hot grill section (can’t remember her name ) but she made the most delicious cooke
