Kudadoo Maldives Private Island
Kudadoo Island, Maldives
When it comes to a Robinson Crusoe escape, Kudadoo Maldives Private Island is A-grade. Set in the Lhaviyani atoll amidst an Indian Ocean of sapphire blue and neon turquoise, the intimate, all-inclusive resort has a philosophy of ‘Anything, anytime, anywhere’ – and they mean it. Your 24-hour personal butler will see to that. And with whatever your heart desires included in the price, this is the place to start ticking off a bucket list, whether that’s snorkelling the technicolour coral reef, immersing in the spa’s mineral-rich salt chamber (the first in the Maldives) or on a sunset dolphin trip. Overwater villas perch above the lagoon, each with an expansive deck, infinity pool and easy, breezy interiors designed by award-winning New York-based architect Yuji Yamazaki. At the heart of the resort sits The Retreat, home to a seafood restaurant and bar, but for push-the-boat-out occasions, dine under starlight on nearby Dream Island. Luxury treads lightly here – Kudadoo Maldives is the only fully solar-powered island, utilising no less than 984 solar panels.
