Our honeymoon trip to Kandima Maldives was a dream come true. Every detail was thought about, the staff was wonderful, the island a true paradise, and the food and drink incredible. We stayed for a total of ten nights in a swirlpool villa above the water, and it was the best lodging I’ve ever stayed in. Even just getting here on the domestic flight or seaplane (we did both) is a great experience. The resort is full of fun activities and places to visit, and we always had new things to do and people to meet in our trip, when we weren’t just enjoying one of the many spots on the island where we could also get away from others. The buffet restaurants are good, and the a la carte restaurants for dinner even better. All three bars are unique and offer worthwhile experiences as well. I would highly recommend Kandima to anybody looking for a perfect trip to the Maldives. PRO TIP: Find Rasal and Rajesh at the Breeze Bar early on in your trip for the best experience and service!!

We had an unforgettable experience at Kandima Maldives! The resort is truly a paradise with stunning views, luxurious accommodations, and a fantastic atmosphere. Special thanks to Novita, who went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Her warm hospitality and attention to detail made us feel incredibly welcomed. Chef Dwpoc deserves a shoutout for the amazing food! Every meal was a delight, and the flavors were out of this world. Azure, our favorite restaurant, offered the perfect ambiance for an exquisite dining experience. And Ihusan made our stay even better with his exceptional service and friendliness. Kandima Maldives is a perfect blend of relaxation, adventure, and outstanding service. We can’t wait to come back! Read less

Our stay was the best experience for a romantic getaway. Everything was perfect, and we definitely recommend booking a water villa. The staff were absolutely amazing. We’ve never felt so welcomed anywhere as we did here. We were always treated wonderfully—especially by Rasel and Rajesh!
