Noku Maldives, Vignette Collection sits on Kuda Funafaru in Noonu Atoll. It’s a quiet island with just over fifty villas spread between the beach and the lagoon. Most guests arrive by seaplane from Malé in about 45 minutes; an alternative is a short domestic hop to Maafaru followed by a speedboat. The resort keeps things simple: roomy villas, friendly service, a small set of restaurants and bars, a spa that looks over the water, and direct access to calm snorkelling spots. It suits couples looking for space and families who prefer a slower pace.
Spacious bathrooms with bathtub or outdoor shower; bathrobes and toiletries.
Daily housekeeping and turndown; complimentary Wi-Fi.
Tip: If you plan to snorkel often, request a villa close to a reef entry point or a beach channel.
