NOOE Maldives Kunaavashi Hotel  

On Kunaavashi Island in Vaavu (Felidhu) Atoll — a palm-ringed, turquoise playground of the Maldives. The waterfront resort is about 25 minutes by seaplane or roughly one hour by speedboat from Velana International Airport and sits near the Alimathaa area.

Rooms range from white-sand beach villas to private overwater villas with ocean-view decks. One-bedroom villas come with private plunge pools and sprawling decks, while Grand two-bedroom villas offer expansive balconies and their own swimming pools. Expect modern island style, Select Comfort beds, minibars and roomy bathrooms with separate tubs and showers.

Soak in an infinity pool or unwind on the private beach; water-sports and a diving club put the ocean front and center. There’s a spa, fitness center, day club and options for jet-skiing, snorkeling, picnic and BBQ areas — wake up to sea-breeze mornings and salt-scented afternoons.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi keeps you connected across the island, and concierge and tour desks handle transfers and excursions.

Four restaurants and a café serve a mix of local Maldivian flavors, Japanese dishes and Mediterranean-style beachside fare. Enjoy a buffet breakfast each morning, cocktail bars on the sand, and culinary experiences like cooking classes and regional tasting menus.
