About

Think you’d be bored on an all-inclusive Maldives holiday? Think again. Kandima Maldives is the activity-laden resort to satisfy even the twitchiest of travellers.

Blending Caribbean-esque activity lists with the secluded beauty and unmatched trendy vibes of the Maldives, Kandima is truly a one-off escape.

Boasting modern, stylish beachfront and over water villas - each bristling with amenities - this five-star resort offers spaces perfect for couples, families and groups alike. From beach studio villas up to sprawling Aqua Villas placed over the glistening lagoon and featuring a huge sundeck complete with luxurious private Jacuzzi.

If you can pull yourself out the room you’ll find a world of wonders seldom pulled together at a Maldivian resort. Wander Kandima’s island and you come across everything from an art studio and marine biology centre through to a sports centre, kids club and even a beachfront e-go-kart track (a first for the Maldives).

However, on those days where you just want to kick back, you couldn’t be better placed (this is still the Maldives after all). Alongside multiple beachy areas, Kandima Maldives also offers a serene spa and wellness centre – perfect for adults or couples who want to luxuriate in style.

But all that exploring or unwinding is bound to work up an appetite. So, when you feel hunger start to call, you’ll be happy to know that the choice of resort restaurants and meal plans are just as rich and diverse as the activity selection. With four resraurants (including a buffet) a couple of cafes and a host of bars, you can choose your vibes.

Couples and families seeking a more fun-filled island experience couldn’t be more suited to Kandima Maldives. Book your stay today with no hidden fees.
