Kudadoo Maldives Private Island

Overview

Kudadoo Maldives Private Island is not simply an all-inclusive resort — it is an exercise in the removal of all boundaries between desire and fulfilment. With only 15 overwater residences on a tiny private island in the Lhaviyani Atoll, this is one of the most exclusive addresses in the Maldives, and its "anything, anytime, anywhere" philosophy means that quite literally everything is included: every meal, every bottle of vintage champagne, every spa treatment, every diving excursion, every private sandbank picnic.

There are no bills to sign, no menus with prices, no decisions deferred because of cost. You simply live as if the island were your own — because for the duration of your stay, it essentially is.

Kudadoo's "anything, anytime, anywhere" concept is truly unlimited. This includes premium spirits and vintage wines, daily spa treatments, unlimited diving and excursions, private dining anywhere on the island, and even bespoke experiences crafted on request. There is nothing to upsell — everything is already yours.

Accommodation

All 15 residences are perched over the crystal-clear lagoon, each one a generous 302 square metres of carefully considered luxury. The design is Japanese-Maldivian — clean timber lines, ocean-facing minimalism, and an indoor-outdoor flow that makes the lagoon an extension of your living space.

Residence Features

• One Bedroom Over Water Residence — Every residence is identical in its generosity: a private infinity pool extending over the lagoon, an oversized outdoor deck with daybed and dining area, a deep soaking tub positioned by the window, and direct ocean access via steps from your deck.
• Two Bedroom Over Water Residence — Two residences can be interconnected for families or groups, creating a sprawling private wing with two pools and a shared sundeck.

Every residence comes with a dedicated butler (available 24 hours), a fully stocked minibar refreshed daily, a Bose sound system, and Dyson haircare — details that signal Kudadoo's obsessive attention to the small things.

Dining

With only 15 residences, Kudadoo operates more like a private villa than a hotel when it comes to dining. There are no fixed restaurant hours, no set menus, and no reservations required. You eat what you want, where you want, when you want.

• The Retreat — The resort's main dining venue, set over the water with panoramic lagoon views. The menu is a global journey — Japanese sashimi, Mediterranean grills, Indian curries, Maldivian specialties — and the chef will happily prepare anything not on the menu with a few hours' notice.
• Private Dining — Anywhere on the island. On the beach at sunset. On your villa deck under the stars. On a private sandbank accessible only by boat. The culinary team will set the scene and craft a bespoke menu for the occasion.
• The Wine Library — A curated collection of over 200 labels, all included. The sommelier hosts private tastings and will pair wines to your evening meal.

Because everything is included, there is no decision fatigue around dining at Kudadoo. Simply tell your butler what you feel like — or ask the chef to surprise you — and it appears. Many guests describe this as the most liberating aspect of the Kudadoo experience.

Activities & Experiences

Unlimited Spa & Wellness

The overwater spa offers a menu of treatments drawn from Ayurvedic, Balinese, and Western traditions — and every one of them is included, every day if you wish. Couples' treatments, hot stone therapy, deep tissue massage, facials, body wraps — there is no limit.

• Daily yoga sessions (private or group) with the resident instructor
• Guided meditation and breathwork
• Personal fitness training with ocean views
• Sound healing and wellness consultations

Marine Life & Water Sports

The Lhaviyani Atoll is known for its exceptional dive sites, including coral-encrusted thilas (underwater pinnacles), channel dives with grey reef sharks, and vibrant reef walls.

• Unlimited PADI diving (certified divers) — explore over 30 dive sites within the atoll
• Discover Scuba courses for beginners (also included)
• Guided snorkeling excursions to pristine reefs
• Night snorkeling to witness the reef's nocturnal transformation
• Kayaking, paddleboarding, jet skiing, wakeboarding, and catamaran sailing

Excursions & Private Experiences

• Private sandbank picnics — a deserted strip of white sand, a gourmet hamper, and complete solitude
• Sunset dolphin cruises with champagne
• Local island visits to experience authentic Maldivian village life
• Private stargazing on the resort's unlit beach (minimal light pollution in the Lhaviyani Atoll)

Getting There

Kudadoo is reached by a scenic 40-minute seaplane transfer from Velana International Airport in Malé. Guests are welcomed at a private VIP lounge at the seaplane terminal with refreshments and personal assistance. The flight itself offers spectacular views over the atolls — a fitting introduction to the days ahead.

Seaplane transfers operate during daylight hours only (approximately 6:00 AM to 4:30 PM). For guests arriving on late international flights, Kudadoo arranges a complimentary overnight stay and transfer the following morning. Speak to your Lagoon Travel Co. consultant and we will coordinate the entire arrival experience.

Sustainability

Kudadoo takes its environmental responsibility seriously. The resort is powered almost entirely by solar energy — a vast rooftop solar array generates enough electricity to run the entire island — making it one of the most sustainable luxury properties in the Maldives. The resort also maintains an active coral regeneration programme and works with local communities on marine conservation initiatives.
