The Amazing Makunudu
31 Mar 2026
What a beautiful experience! Makunudu has that old-school Maldives feel that most islands have completely lost. Everyone around the island was so kind and we felt taken care of the whole time. The snorkeling and marine life were great, and what truly elevated our stay was the high standard of everyone at the dive center. We have been to the Maldives over 15 times, and have never encountered a group of diving staff so dedicated, knowledgeable, and passionate about what they do. A special thank you goes to Leandro, our amazing diving instructor: we got our diving certification and he was so patient and caring the entire way. He never rushed us, made sure we actually understood everything, and had us feeling confident at every step. What could have been a stressful experience ended up being one of the highlights of the whole trip, all thanks to him. We will certainly be back.

Everything was perfect, one of the best vacations I had so far :) I got my diving certification at Makunudu which was great fun. The staff at the dive center are fantastic and taught me everything with a lot of patience and time.

Credit card is compulsory as a deposit, no deposit in cash is accepted
Our ATOL number is T7365 and your protection begins as soon as you’re booked. If a supplier fails, you’ll get your money back, and you can’t get stranded abroad because ATOL ensures you’re brought home at no extra cost.
Payments safeguarded in a Trust Account
The airline is paid when you book and the rest of your payments are held in a trust account, which is controlled by the Travel Trust Association. This is much safer than an ABTA bond, because your money can only be released to pay the suppliers for each element of your holiday, and and your ATOL protection safeguards the whole holiday. Our TTA membership number is U7488.
