Atmosphere Kanifushi is a two-kilometre island in Lhaviyani Atoll, 35 minutes from Malé by seaplane, set beside an uninterrupted turquoise lagoon. Every stay is on the Atmosphere Kanifushi Plan, an all-inclusive plan that Resortlife says covers dining, premium drinks, selected excursions and activities, and eligible spa treatments.
There are 162 villas in nine categories. Sunset Beach Villas (100 m²) have a beach garden and veranda facing the sunset, and the pool versions run from 146 to 243 m², the largest with a 42 m² lap pool. Water Villas (103 m²) have glass floor panels and a ladder into the lagoon, and Sunset Water Villas with Pool add a 21 m² pool. For families there are two-bedroom sunset villas, with or without a pool, and the Kanifushi Residence (594 m²), with a 115 m² freeform pool and a butler.
The Spice is the main buffet restaurant, and Resortlife calls Just Veg the Maldives' first à la carte vegetarian restaurant. PIER SIX serves seafood and Pan-Asian dishes over the water, with a teppanyaki grill; The Sunset does Asian and Mediterranean fine dining by the adults-only pool; and Ceylon Bliss serves Sri Lankan street food. The Liquid by the 50-metre pool and The Lantern Bar over the water pour the drinks, and there's the Essens spa, a PADI dive centre and a floodlit tennis court.
Gut zu wissenThis profile comes from travel agencies, because the resort's own website couldn't be checked. The price is only maldives.com's 'starting from' range, so treat it as a rough guide; teppanyaki at PIER SIX costs extra, and dinners at The Sunset and PIER SIX come from an allowance set by the length of stay.
