Places to Stay in Manadhoo

Last year this was our first Maldives experience and this year we have decided to return. For us Movenpick checks to many things we are looking for: pure white sand under the villas, great overwater villas with huge terraces, exceptional food offering (if you are into the quality food, this place is must visit, as Akram (chef) did great job adjusting the menu and making Latitude restaurant great lunch and dining experience), drinks offering from well know and qualitative spirits to 70 wines included in all inclusive package. Special thanks to the staff of the resort - Mirzo (our butler, who did great job getting us everything we wanted and making our 2nd stay even better), Asad (this man deserves a medal, for providing great lunch and dining experience as a waiter, being polite, intelligent, proactive and talkative), Tendai (sommelier who made this stay extremely interesting personally for me, not only I tried dozen of wines discussing the tasting with him, but also I was able to experience my first sabrage and do it by myself). Honourable mentions - Salim (we met him only on the last day, but it was great having chat with him regarding the resort and plans).

Everything was great. We had our honeymoon here and we enjoyed every moment. It is very quiet and everything is well maintained

Clean and fresh rooms, modern feeling, spacious and comfortable. Overall facilities in great condition. Good food options - high quality and wide variety. Attentive and very friendly staff

The island is gorgeous, with so much to see and so much to do, you’ll never be bored. The staff and their smiles topped it all off.

Perfect spit, amazing villas, great people

Where to begin? Our stay at Noku Maldives (8 nights) was in one word amazing. It's a 45min flight by seaplane, but once you get there you will get into a full relaxation mode. The island is not very big (aprox. 50 villas) and gives you a piece of mind holidays. Everyday they have 2 to 3 complimentary activities. Besides the daily fish feeding, they had a cooking class, yoga at sunset sessions, high tea, sunset cocktails and beachvolley. You can also go kayaking or peddleboarding everyday for 1 hour. The watersport center also offers paid excursions. We did a dolphin cruise, which was absolutely amazing!! Another good thing about this resort is the staff, they are super firendly and accomodating. If they can't a fullfill your request, they offer to go out of their ways to fullfill it. The staff are very attentive and do a good job. Especially the beaches and pathways get cleaned up on a daily basis. Foodwise we enjoyed it a lot (recommend Shrimp dymamic at Palms restaurants): they have 2 restaurants which is enough to have a variety of food a week long. Regarding our villa, we had a sunset watervilla with pool and it was so so good. It was huge and had everything we needed. Besides comfortable beds, the bathroom was huge and well equiped, the sundeck was perfect for tanning and the pool super relaxing. I have also seen (walked past) the other villa, but I think the one we had was perfect (try to get the villas 20-30). This was a special trip for our since we got engaged and celebrated a birthday, so thank you Noku Maldives for accomodating everything. We will make sure to return one day!

This island has the best reef I have ever seen. The hotel is clean, the staff is caring and friendly. The level of service is very high and thought out to the smallest detail. An umbrella and a sun lounger will be placed where you want (I highly recommend the local beach, where you can meet many rays, sharks, napoleons and turtles). Very good selection of fruits served with the meal. The Domestic transfer is well organized (but keep in mind that the full price is not 130, but 245 dollars - add 50 dollars for a boat from the airport to the island and 26% taxes and 10% service fee). I spent 18 days here and was very happy with the holiday.

The best holiday ever. every member of the staff is a real asset. beautiful place, rich underwater life. close to the bikini beach. a peaceful yet exciting place.

We spent a wonderful vacation in Fodhdoo, which is a magnificent place. The accommodation was very clean, at 1 minute to/ from the beach, providing a kitchen that was perfect for us, especially in the days when ferry didn't come with bread, vegetable or fruits. There is a beautiful family who takes care of all you need. Also the administrator of the property, Eusoph, is a very friendly and helpful person. Thank you to all of you for making us an amazing holiday!
