Kandolhu measures just 150 by 200 metres, in North Ari Atoll about 70 km south-west of Malé: 25 minutes by seaplane, then 10 by speedboat. There are only 30 villas and five restaurants, and the mood is barefoot and quiet, with no nightly entertainment.
Six Beach Villas (85 m²) are the only villas without a pool. The rest have one: eight two-storey Duplex Pool Villas and five Pool Villas on the beach, then seven Ocean Pool Villas with a glass-walled bathroom and four Deluxe Ocean Pool Villas with a 23 m² pool and a net over the sea.
The Market does breakfast and international and Maldivian dishes, Olive is Mediterranean, Sea Grill grills the day's catch on the beach, Banzai does sushi and teppan, and Ata Roa serves tacos and ceviche at lunch over the water. Vilu Bar is on the sand, Varu Spa sits in the middle of the island, and the Noovilu team runs dives to the North Ari thilas and channels.
