Fifteen overwater residences on a four-hectare private island in Lhaviyani Atoll, fully inclusive, with a butler for each and anything served anytime, anywhere.
Kudadoo is a four-hectare private island in Lhaviyani Atoll, 35 to 40 minutes from Malé by seaplane, next to its sister resort Hurawalhi. Its 15 overwater residences, designed by the architect Yuji Yamazaki, mix Japanese simplicity with Maldivian influences, and each has a private infinity pool and a butler around the clock. Everything is included under its 'Anything, Anytime, Anywhere' idea: meals whenever and wherever you want them, drinks, spa treatments and curated experiences.
There are 13 One-Bedroom Ocean Residences (310 m²) for two adults and two Two-Bedroom Overwater Residences (390 m²), each with a kitchenette, a living area, a marble soaking tub in the main bathroom and an infinity pool, for four adults or two adults and two children.
Keyolhu Restaurant at The Retreat cooks to order at any hour, and the Retreat Bar by the pool makes drinks with freshly pressed produce. There's a walk-in wine cellar of 80 labels rated 88 or above by Wine Spectator, a cheese room with more than 30 artisan cheeses, picnics on Dream Island and dinners on the beach or your own deck. Sulha Spa sits over the lagoon, with the Maldives' first Himalayan salt room, and there's a gym with personal training, padel tennis, diving and the private yacht Bella for manta and whale shark trips.
This profile comes from travel agencies and the official Visit Maldives map, because the resort's own website couldn't be checked. It's one of the most expensive stays in the Maldives, and the price is only maldives.com's 'starting from' range, so treat it as a rough guide.
