Kandolhu Maldives

Kandolhu is a small lush island ringed by an intricate yet stunning coral garden, well-known amongst snorkelers and divers as one of the best in the Maldives. Intimate and bare, this tiny gem is encircled with wide beaches that are veiled by the emerald green ocean for which the destination is famous for. Located in the heart of the Maldives, in North Ari Atoll, the island can be reached in 20 minutes by seaplane from the airport. This intimate resort features just 30 Villas in 5 different categories on land and over water, each distinct in design and majority with private pools. All villas feature Maldivian architecture with modern interiors, including designer furnishing. Modern day luxuries enhance your experience further with creature comforts like iPads, Wi-Fi, surround sound systems and espresso machines. Though designed to 5 star levels, the resort will put greater focus on giving its guests an ‘island experience’ instead of a typical hotel stay. Small and perfectly formed, this island will give you the real Maldivian experience with no restrictions. You can choose to go on Bed & Breakfast either in the restaurant or in your own villa and plan your day as you go, or book À La Carte Dining and have access to the four intimate gourmet restaurants on the island. Alternatively, indulge in luxury- Kandolhu style- by going for the Ultimate Inclusions package; where you will be set for your entire stay. The Island also offers guests a beach bar with panoramic views of the lagoon and sea beyond, a water sports centre which offers diving, non-motorised sports (most complimentary to guests), a gym and an array of excursions. Kandholhu Spa offers guests a complete wellness experience with 4 treatment rooms, separate wet areas for him and her. The spa, with a heavy focus on Voya, brings to all our guests “organic beauty from the sea” – a perfect partnership to our own nature-based approach to our operations.
