AT KUDADOO PRIVATE ISLAND AND HURAWALHI MALDIVES
With the variety of options for intimate weddings in private settings, Kudadoo Private Island and Hurawalhi Island Resort in the Maldives’ Lhaviyani Atoll have seen a 50% increase in bookings from couples, looking to create perfect memories to last a lifetime.
Bradley Calder, General Manager of Kudadoo and Hurawalhi says, “Privacy has become the ultimate luxury in today’s environment and for couples wanting to stay away from large gatherings, Kudadoo – with only 15 rooms and Hurawalhi – with the option to marry in our 5.8 Undersea Restaurant as well as on our own ‘Dream Island’ – are the perfect considerations for an intimate destination wedding or a bucket-list worthy honeymoon, or indeed both!”
Exceptional service is another marker in the world of luxury hospitality. Bradley Calder remarks, “My approach to luxury hospitality is to map the service sequence for each and every guest experience and to see how we can make it as effortless as possible for the guest.
Both Kudadoo and Hurawalhi offer couples a dedicated Butler and Island Host. The Butler and Island Hosts proactively look after their guests and are on call to look after the couple’s needs throughout their stay.
Weddings
At both Kudadoo Private Island and Hurawalhi Island Resort, a dedicated wedding planner is on hand for the entirety of the planning process to tailor the wedding to the couple’s needs from wedding photography, fine dining, beauty and wellbeing treatments, live entertainment, decoration and the all-important wedding cake.
Couples have the choice of a variety of ceremony venues at both resorts from:
5.8 Undersea Wedding: Exchange vows at the world’s largest undersea restaurant and you may have some unexpected wedding guests show up to pique their curiosity from behind the glass!
Beach wedding on Dream Island: If guests choose this tiny sandbank for their ceremony the bride or groom will walk down an aisle of powder white sand surrounded by the turquoise lagoon before exchanging vows with their loved one.
Ocean wedding: Onboard Bella, the resorts’ luxury yacht exchange vows surrounded by the ocean blue.
Champagne Pavilion: Add some sparkle to the ceremony and exchange vows at this oceanside hideaway. With a bit of luck, the passing dolphins may put on a special spinning, twisting and jumping performance as couples say, “I do”.
Private island buyout: The wedding party can ‘own’ their own private island for ultimate privacy by taking the island buyout option at Kudadoo. At Kudadoo, the newlyweds and all wedding guests will have access to personal butlers available 24 hours a day to ensure the party never stops.
