About
Forget about standard city centre locations and everything else you think you know about Holiday Inns. Because Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma is unlike any you may have stayed in previously.
Boasting a postcard-perfect Maldivian island location just 45-minutes by speedboat from Velana International Airport, the resort delivers the tropical island escape with contemporary elegance. This means you get to capture that dreamy aesthetic while also benefiting from high-end services like a choice of accommodation (including two-storey beach houses), a resort spa, state-of-the-art fitness centre, a yoga centre, an engaging kids club and a selection of restaurants.
The staggering views out over the Indian Ocean, as well as a host of leisure activities and excursions make this the perfect choice for a romantic couples escape. However, elsewhere, the resort's unique “Kids Stay & Eat Free” offering means families are well catered for too.
Spend your days kicking back under the tropical sun on the white sand beaches. Or head over to the island's PADI Dive Centre and explore the main event of any Maldives adventure - the teeming ocean waters. The bath-warm, azure lagoon around the resort is filled with colourful reef-dwellers as well as larger species like manta rays and black-tipped reef sharks.
After all that excitement in the day, get out of an evening and explore the wide selection of bars and restaurants. With 6 options to choose from, Holiday Inn Kandooma enhances the standard paired-back Maldivian resort approach to food and beverages.
There's no doubt that Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma stands shoulder-to-shoulder with some of the best spots in the South Male Atoll.
