Known for its pristine white-sand beaches and crystalline waters, The Maldives consists of approximately 1,200 islands that have become a premier holiday destination for travelers from around the world. Kandolhu Island is perhaps one of the best-kept secrets of the Maldives, situated only 70 kilometers southwest of Male. The 25-minute flight to the private island is perhaps one of the most breathtaking views you will ever experience.

Kandolhu is an exclusive resort that offers 30 private villas constructed from natural materials in the traditional architectural style of the region. Each villa provides direct beach access or uninterrupted sea views and a private veranda where you can soak in your surroundings. Depending on your specific needs and desires, you can choose rooms with a private Jacuzzi, a plunge pool, or a second floor with a sitting area.

During your stay, the attentive staff will cater to your every whim. You can arrange for private dining in your room with a specialized menu, treat yourself to a fresh seafood meal at the beachside grill and Japanese restaurant, or sip cocktails at the beach bar as you enjoy low-key entertainment. In the daytime, pamper yourself with a variety of spa treatments at the Varu Spa or explore the surrounding atolls through various watersports. Kandolhu is situated only minutes from the reef, which offers some of the best diving and snorkeling in the world. For a bit more excitement, the resort offers windsurfing, sailing, glass-bottom kayaks, and private charters to surrounding islands.

Kandolhu is a veritable paradise where your dream vacation becomes a reality.
