A three-kilometre lifestyle island in Dhaalu Atoll with 270 studios and villas, a 100-metre pool and one of the Maldives' largest kids' clubs.
Kandima is a nearly three-kilometre island in Dhaalu Atoll, about 40 minutes from the airport by seaplane or a short domestic flight and speedboat ride. It's a big, playful resort rather than a hideaway: 270 studios and villas, ten places to eat and drink, one of the largest pools in the Maldives at 100 metres, and a long list of things to do.
Rooms start with Sky Studios (55 m²) on the upper floor, with a balcony swing, and Beach Studios below that open onto the sand. Beach Villas with a swirl pool (97 m²) and Sunrise and Sunset Beach Pool Villas (125 m²) line the beach, Aqua Villas (73 m²) sit over the lagoon, Ocean Pool Villas are half on the beach and half over the water, and Sunset Aqua Pool Suites take the tip of the jetty. Two-bedroom Family Sky Suites sleep up to eight.
Flavour and Zest are the buffet food halls, Azure does Mediterranean food and seafood on the beach, Sea Dragon Asian fusion and Smoked grills from a parrilla and smoker. Aroma is a café over a natural lake with an art studio, the Deli does snacks and room delivery, Breeze and the Beach Club are pool bars, and Forbidden Bar is an adults-only night spot. There's the esKape Spa, Aquaholics for diving and water sports, a 24-hour gym, tennis, football and go-karting.
Good to know
It's lively and big, so expect families, groups and DJs rather than seclusion, and studios are compact at 55 m². The from-price uses the regular rate; the resort's frequent flash sales can more than halve it.
