The 4-hectare private island holds just 15 overwater residences, each with a private pool and dedicated butler, making it one of the smallest and most exclusive resorts…

Getting there

35 min seaplane from MLE

Kudadoo Maldives Private Island is reached by seaplane (35 min) from Velana International Airport (MLE) in Lhaviyani Atoll.
