Kandolhu Maldives

A real paradise :) The island is small and full of nature, with beautiful trees, and the sea is crystal clear. The house reef is amazing, with colorful fish just a few meters from the beach. It’s very peaceful and private, perfect for relaxing. The food was another big surprise. Even if the island is small, there are different restaurants, and every meal was delicious and different. A special mention goes to fresh seafood that were fantastic, and the view of the ocean made every dinner special. Also, we really appreciated the gym, small but well-equipped and always clean, perfect for a quick workout before breakfast. What makes everything even better is the management: always present, kind, and very professional. The whole team is smiling, helpful, and always ready to make your stay perfect. You really feel welcome and well taken care of. This was my first time in the Maldives, and Kandolhu made it unforgettable. I will gladly recommend this beautiful, peaceful, and well-managed island to all my friends looking for a perfect honeymoon or vacation.

Beyond my expectations. |The Kandolhu team made me feel like home. Excellent infrastructures, services, food. Thank you all. |It was my third time in Maldives and as a solo traveler I have to say I didn't get bored a minute. The house reef is healthy and vivid , the restaurants have excellent choices for all tastes and even me that I have to be gluten free never felt I had limited choices. The villa was very well equipped with everything you might need. The size of the island makes you feel almost like you are on a private one. Big resorts and crowds are not for me. |If you are searching for the best in a serene place with nothing to annoy you and everything to please you, just choose it. You will be rewarded with the rest and renewal of your life. |I have to refer only some of the team members that were excellent and helped me to have such a wonderful time. |So many many thanks to:|Luciana and Claudio that take care the so smooth run of everything. |Cornelia from the diving center for making me so safe during our dives. |Navide for the snorkeling and his videos |Elvira for her supreme service at the restaurants accompanied by Ameen, Zameeh, Saamim.|And of course Landysh and Sameena from customer relations and reception.|Already miss everything there. See you the sooner possible. |

Gorgeous, peaceful setting with an excellent house reef (recommend the night snorkel tour), spacious, luxurious villas are scrupulously clean and comfortable (wonderful sunsets from the overwater villas), five restaurants delivering a wide range of high quality food with an inclusive package providing a good selection of easy drinking wines and spirits; marvellous massages at the spa, good range of activities on offer (manta ray trip was a highlight); all underpinned by friendly, thoughtful staff who go the extra mile to make your trip special. Lots of renovation done since our first visit three years ago and Kandolhu was even better this time.

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at Kandolhu Maldives. The sunset view room was an unforgettable experience ,waking up and winding down to those breathtaking views felt truly magical. The pool was fantastic as well, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the peaceful surroundings.|What really made the stay special, though, was the staff.Everyone was extremely friendly, attentive, and accommodating, going out of their way to take care of even the smallest requests promptly and with a smile.|Kandolhu is a perfect mix of comfort, natural beauty, and exceptional service. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable Maldivian getaway.

From my first day of arrival, the Kandolhu team treated me like family. Everyone on the island greets you with a smile and are never too busy to chat and genuinely interested in my stay.|The room was extremely luxurious and had all amenities required for the duration of the stay. Housekeeping turn down was always on point and once again, extremely friendly staff,|The restaurants and their dining selection was 6 stars, and I always had options to my dining needs. The menus, buffet labeling were clear and marked accordingly and show cased all dietary requirements on the menu options. ||Bar and restaurant staff were extremely helpful and always willing to go the extra mile to accommodate my mealtime experience.||I highly recommend Kandolhu to any traveler and is truly a hidden gem.|The "hardware" is truly magnificent, however, the "software" (staff), makes Kandolhu tick

This place truly is something special, and I can understand why people keep coming back (we met a couple, who were there for the 16th time). It’s a beautiful tiny and totally unspoiled island, surrounded by an incredible house-reef. Despite the Island being very small, they have 5 restaurants, which is pretty unique I think and all the food we had was great. What we loved the most, was the way Kandolhu is a full blown luxury nothing-is-missing-5-star-experience - but in a very laid back, relaxed, almost homely way. And then the peace and stillness. Watching the sunset from the pool in our over water villa was one for the books. As was watching the ‘shark after party’ from the jetty at night time. Lastly I wanna complement the staff, who were all so kind, attentive and beautiful souls, and it seemed to us, that they where very happy with their work and life at the resort. Also had a nice conversation with Claudio and Luciana, who runs the place - thank you for having us and making it such a memorable stay.

We had the immense joy of celebrating our 4th wedding anniversary at Kandolhu Maldives, and it truly exceeded every expectation.||From the moment we arrived, we were embraced by the peaceful beauty of the island and the genuine warmth of the entire team. Every detail—from the perfectly prepared villa to the thoughtful surprises that made our anniversary so special—reflected the care and dedication that make Kandolhu such a unique and magical place.||What impressed us the most was the exceptional service: always attentive, never intrusive, and delivered with such kindness that we felt genuinely welcomed and cared for throughout our stay.||Kandolhu is not just a stunning destination; it’s an experience of serenity, beauty, and heartfelt hospitality that stays with you long after you leave.||We are deeply grateful to the whole team for making this celebration unforgettable and cannot wait to return to this little corner of paradise.

Kandolhu Maldives was pure perfection. From the serene atmosphere to the incredible food and vibrant reef, everything felt effortless. The staff were warm, attentive, and made the whole experience feel personal — I couldn’t have asked for more.||The tranquil atmosphere paired with truly world-class food was beyond anything I expected.Honestly the meals alone were worth the trip. 😁|||And snorkeling… I wasn’t even keen at first. But with a little encouragement from the amazing water sports team, that completely changed. Swimming with turtles and exploring the reef right off the beach turned me into a full-on snorkeling fan. 🐢🐠
