Kudadoo Maldives

Indulgent eco-escape ▪️ Kudadoo
Maldives
Everything we do is custom made by real Asia experts...

From one side of a small, palm-bedecked island, a sleek crescent of fifteen overwater residences curves out into the ocean.

On the other side, a sleek solar panel-topped construction juts into the shallows, part fine dining haven, part lavish spa, part glorious infinity pool. Together they form Kudadoo: deceptively simple, but designed by architectural mastermind Yuji Yamazaki to set a new standard in sustainable luxury.

Overwater villas are designed in a style reminiscent of a Japanese ryokan. Lavish open-plan living, with extensive outdoor decks and amply sized infinity plunge pools, takes maximum advantage of the ocean views. But the luxury doesn’t stop with the accommodation. Kudadoo isn’t all-inclusive, it’s fully-inclusive which, to quote the resort, means ‘everything under the moon…anytime and anywhere’. All you have to do is consult your private butler, and they’ll take care of the rest!

Why we love it

“We’ve been lucky enough to visit island resorts all over the world, and we take our holidays very seriously, but we’ve never found anywhere else like Kudadoo. Amazing!”

Tailored to you

We were beginning to think that we’d seen everything the Maldives had to offer, until we saw Kudadoo. It’s hard not to go in thinking the fully-inclusive concept is too good to be true and that there must be a catch, but we haven’t heard of one yet. We’ve heard whispers of requests fulfilled for special spa treatments, water sports, cuisines ranging from Japanese to Mexican, beach bonfires, paddle tennis (including providing a partner!), inventive birthday celebrations, and even a professional photo shoot.

Premium service

Infinity pool at Kudadoo

If you’re not sure what should be on your Maldives bucket list, you can always ask advice from your butler. Float away with unlimited snorkelling or diving (although learning to dive is one of the few activities that does incur additional costs). How about a scooter dive at a local hot spot to look for gray reef sharks, eagle rays, and Napoleon wrasse? Immerse yourself in the spa, then relax in the Maldives’ first Himalayan salt chamber. Avail yourself of all the water sports and facilities, and enjoy unlimited excursions from dolphin spotting to desert island picnicking.

Another fantastic trip with Selective Asia

We’ve been on 5 trips to the Far East with Selective Asia over 17 years with the same consultant (Lionel). They take the time to tailor the holiday individually with invaluable local knowledge and once again got it spot on. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

Highly Recommend Selective Asia

Have been to Asia with Selective Asia twice now, and we can't fault them. We had the most amazing holiday staying in 6 different locations throughout Thailand. Selective Asia did us proud by giving us a well thought out itinerary. The accommodations were first class. Our private guide called James was very knowledgable and made our holiday very memorable.

Susan Bartlett, Thailand

Our trip to Japan was outstanding

We had had several discussions with Andrew, our agent, before booking the trip and he incorporated all the activities we were interested in plus recommending other activities that he knew we would be interested in. Much of our trip was self guided and SA provide an excellent app to help with this. It was intuitive, easy to use and had the option to be able to contact someone locally if necessary. The whole trip was seamless and managed at a thoroughly professional yet friendly level. I would travel with this company again (we have travelled with them before.)

Heather, Japan

Great planning and organisation, coupled with an amazing experience with the local guide and driver. Everything about the holiday was magical.

Fantastic holiday

Using Selective Asia took all the stress out of booking and organising the trip ourselves as we were travelling around the country. Selective Asia were really responsive to our needs and created our perfect honeymoon holiday. They were available whenever we had questions or needed some help. I would highly recommend using their service!
