Kanifushi Hotels & Accommodations

We stayed at One the Island for 2 weeks in June and it was fantastic. The room was beautiful and clean, the bed was comfortable and food was amazing. We've got sandwiches every day for lunch for takeout and they were delicious. The staff is very friendly and welcoming and we immediately felt like home. The manager (of happiness) Patty did a fantastic job organizing stuff we needed. I even left one of my airpods at the hotel and she and her staff organzied everything to get it back to me the next day. All in all, we had a great time and since it was a work trip, we were so happy we had a great place to stay. The local island Naifaru is def. worth ckecking out!

We stayed for five nights with one night in beach villa, the hotel was kind enough to upgrade it to water villa. The most remarkable feature of this island is bare foot. As it sited on the island, 'If you're wearing more than bare foot, you are overdressed. ' We experienced a very kind and honest welcome ceremony, with some locals dancing and playing drums. All the waiters and waitresses are very friendly, always makes us feel like talking to our old friends. Especially whenever we are in the restaurant or in bar, they will come over and have some sweet small talks, just like family, even all the guests will have warm small talks as well. There are barely no Asian on the island, only one of the waiter can speak a few Chinese words. However, English works perfectly fine on this island. The beach was white and beautiful, water is very clear with many colourful fish. If you're lucky enough, you might see some baby reef sharks and turtles. Unfortunately, most corals have died, but many fish still live there. Here's a beautiful infinitely pool, the hotel must have put some essential oil in it so that it has a light lemongrass smell. There is a once a week Maldivians' night, some locals will dress up, performance and party with guests. The only flaw of our stay is that some wood on this island has aged, we got wood pieces stuck into our skin for twice, though hotel dealt with our wounds and sanded those stairs ASAP. BTW, kids are not welcomed on this island.

Kudadoo resort is one of, if not the best resort i have ever stayed in. The architecture and sustainability factor being off grid run by solar is incredible. The staff are simply amazing. We had Saeed as our butler and he is just incredible at his job. Always making sure our stay is perfect, sorting everything out and running the show. The food is simply insane. The choices, style, plating and taste of the food is out of this world. The rooms are extremely well designed, private and everything is thought of. Its a place you could stay for weeks and never want to leave. Shameen the lodge manager is such a kind amazing person. He always has a smile on his face and you can see why Kudadoo shines the way it does. A must do is a wine tasting with Elias! So knowledgable and the best wine tasting We have ever had. Never wanted it to end. Again thank you Shameem, Saeed, The team and Kudadoo for a once in a lifetime stay. Cant say or recommend this place enough! Magical!!!
