Kandolhu Maldives guarantees even more than your dreams of an unforgettable honeymoon in the Maldives. Steeped in romance, with a stunning house reef, couples can’t help but fall in love with this cosy island.
Those who have heard of Kandholhu Island know that it is one of the best reefs in the Maldives. Only the hotels in the southern atolls of Gaaf Dhaalu and Gaaf Alifu can match or surpass it. An added attraction is the clean, soft sandy beaches, all around a small round island, the shape of which is unusual by Maldivian standards. So diving is the best thing you’ll find between your water villa, the beach and the numerous restaurants at this 5* boutique hotel.
Island
The story on Kandohlu Maldives begins with a 30-minute seaplane flight over turquoise waters dotted with inhabited and uninhabited islands. Kandohlu, one of the small tourist islands, is postcard-perfect, with fine white sand, crystal clear waters and tall palm trees against a blue sky. This luxurious place has been designed by Maldivian architects, and is simply but elegantly furnished with elements of European décor. And if some Maldivian hotels fail to do so, the interior and exterior beauty of the Kandohlu should successfully satisfy your mental image of the Maldives.
On arrival, guests are greeted at the jetty with refreshments before being escorted along the immaculate sandy walkways to their rooms. And while the hotel has a stylish, open lobby, check-in to the villa is standard. After a quick orientation and explanation of the many in-room and hotel amenities available, guests are left to enjoy their holiday.
Opened in February 2014, the main focus of Kandohlu Maldives is privacy and relaxation. The resort and facilities aim to maximise time spent in private villas to minimise couple or family interaction with other guests. So if you are looking for an island with wild parties or a resort with planned group activities, you may want to cross Kandolhu Island off your list, although there are plenty of excursions and places on this island to sit and relax, read a book, have a drink or snack, or just soak up the sun.
