The Maldives is undeniably one of the world’s most best destinations for beach lovers, but with hundreds of resorts to choose from, finding the perfect resort can feel like an endless search. After countless hours exploring and comparing Maldives resorts (thank you, Pinterest and Instagram!), I finally uncovered a true gem: Nooe Maldives Kunaavashi.

This stunning new property is more than just a resort—it’s a slice of paradise that belongs at the very top of your Maldives bucket list.

Located near Malé, Nooe Maldives Kunaavashi redefines what it means to escape. As one of the Maldives' premier lifestyle resorts, it offers a seamless blend of elegance, comfort, and serenity.

Arriving at Nooe Maldives Kunaavashi

The Maldives archipelago encompasses over 1,000 islands, each offering unique experiences. While many Maldives resorts require both seaplane and speedboat transfers, Nooe's prime location near Malé International Airport means you'll only need a comfortable 1.5 hour speedboat ride to reach paradise. The air-conditioned vessel, complete with comfortable seating, makes the journey a delightful and easy. Before I knew it, we were approaching the resort's breathtaking welcome pier. From the moment you clear customs at the airport, a dedicated Nooe staff member assists with your luggage and ensures a seamless transfer experience.

Room Choices at Nooe Maldives Kunaavashi: Duplex overwater villas, Sunset Beach Villas, Beach Villas and More

When it comes to exquisite accommodation in the Maldives, Nooe truly excels. I split my time between their Duplex Overwater Villa and Sunset Beach Villa, each offering an extraordinary Maldives resort experience for up to 3 people.

Both accommodation types feature modern luxuries, including universal chargers, workspace, premium coffee makers, high-speed WiFi, smart TVs, and sumptuous king-sized beds. While the villas embrace contemporary design, Nooe does a great job of ensuring that there are traditional Maldivian elements and tropical accents throughout.

Duplex Overwater Villa at Nooe Maldives Kunaavashi

The duplex overwater villa with private pool exceeded all my expectations of Maldives accommodation. The attention to detail is remarkable, featuring a glass floor panel perfect for watching marine life (I spotted a baby shark one morning!), a private deck with direct access to crystal-clear turquoise waters, and an incredible outdoor shower. The second-floor bedroom faces the ocean, treating you to stunning Maldivian views every morning. It's exactly the kind of overwater bungalow you'd save to your 'dream vacations' Pinterest board. The Duplex Overwater Villas at Nooe start at around $600 per night, which is a steal compared to some of the resorts that may charge around $5,000/night.

Sunset Beach Villas at Nooe Maldives Kunaavashi 

The Sunset Beach Villa offered an equally impressive but distinctly different experience. Imagine stepping directly onto pristine white sand from your private terrace, with your own exclusive swimming area. The Maldivian sunsets here are spectacular and best enjoyed from the comfort of your villa. The outdoor shower, surrounded by lush tropical plants, became one of my favorite features.

Activities and Amenities at Nooe Maldives Kunaavashi

Snorkeling & Water Activities 

Nooe distinguishes itself from other Maldives resorts with its extensive activity offerings. Their guided snorkeling excursions reveal turtles, reef sharks, vibrant coral gardens, and tropical fish. They also have a house reef where you can see plenty of ocean life without even leaving the resort. Unlike larger Maldives hotels, where tours can feel crowded, Nooe's intimate size ensures a more personal experience that almost makes you feel like you’re on a private tour. 

The resort offers an array of water sports equipment, including jet skis, paddle boards, and clear-bottom kayaks, perfect for exploring the stunning Maldivian waters. 

Beachside Infinity Pool & Gym 

Their Instagram-worthy infinity pool seamlessly blends with the ocean horizon. I spent countless hours alternating between swimming and lounging with refreshing coconut drinks. Don't forget your camera – every corner of the resort is picture-perfect, but especially the pool area!

The ocean-view fitness center and spa complete the resort's comprehensive amenities. Nooe truly offers everything you could desire in a Maldives resort! To be honest, the amenities are so good here that you could just live on the property full time!

Remote Working in the Maldives

For those seeking a ‘workcation’ in the Maldives, Nooe delivers perfectly. The resort-wide high-speed WiFi (even by the infinity pool!) and numerous stunning options make remote work a pleasure. My villa deck became my office for video calls, earning endless comments from colleagues on how they were jealous of my vacation! 

Buffet and Special Dining Options at Nooe 

The main restaurant offers an exceptional buffet experience with diverse, high-quality options. It's honestly one of the finest resort buffets I've encountered, featuring both healthy choices and indulgent treats for those vacation cheat meals!

For special occasions, their exclusive restaurants like Teppanyaki provide memorable dining experiences with live cooking performances.

A Walkable Resort in the Maldives

One of Nooe's standout features is its perfect size. Unlike massive Maldives resorts requiring golf carts or bicycle rentals, Nooe offers easy walking access to all amenities. Having experienced several larger properties, I appreciate how Nooe eliminates the hassle of waiting for transportation. Beautiful walkways through tropical gardens connect everything, creating a truly relaxed atmosphere. The resort's thoughtful design ensures optimal guest capacity, meaning you'll never find the pool crowded or wait long for service at the bar.
