Beautiful island with perfect services!!!
Island like paradise, excellent and clean rooms, friendly staff! The island has a beautiful House reef with thousands of fish, “Nemos” and corals. The water sports staff were extremely helpful. The island is small and crowded. The rooms are well separated from each other, you feel private. I highly recommend! Thank you to the entire staff for a wonderful stay and we will definitely be back!

We were lucky enough to have had our second visit to stunning kandolhu. Words cannot express how special this island is, stunning food, beautiful accommodation, and staff that make you feel so welcome it’s like coming home to long lost family. A friendly face will greet you all over the island that feels very warm and genuine. Chiara and Mike were fantastic in the dive centre, helping me to achieve my PADI open water certificate, and being very knowledgeable for more experienced divers as well. The food is the best food I have ever had on any holiday, each restaurant is excellent and will not disappoint. Chef Raghi was always on hand to explain any dishes, with him and the team expertly tailoring them to your tastes, all delivered to your table with a smile by the delightful Estela, Zihan, Maan or the others who I can’t quite remember. We opted for the ocean pool villa this time which was every bit as stunning as the island it is connected to. The only slight complaint was the bathroom was starting to look a little tired in our villa, crumbling grout lines and aging safety strip on the glass - this didn’t bother us but might be an issue for some people considering the cost of this accommodation. All in all a fantastic holiday in the perfect location, we were a little worried it wouldn’t live up to the first time, but we needn’t have, I’d love to come back for a 3rd time if and when finances allow!

Our stay has been amazing. We stayed for 6 memorable days. We had a ocean pool villa and I really enjoyed it. The beach ones looked great as well but with the ocean ones you truly have privacy since nobody ever comes by. We purchased all inclusive but full board would have probably been enough. It depends on how much you drink. The house reef was my absolute favorite. I saw so many fishes, big and small, it was memorable. We had a very romantic vacation and the staff was amazing. Everyone from the team was fantastic. I do suggest bringing your own go pro since they do have shortages and there are wait times for them. Otherwise the food was great, you can also ask anyone if you want something spicier etc. they do cater to the European crowd that is a little soft on spicy (I’m German too but like a nice kick). The drinks were also fantastic as well as their wine selection, and I’m a bit of a wine snob at times. We are definitely returning.

This is the most beautiful place I have ever stayed! It is quiet and relaxed. The island is small so this is the only resort on it. You can walk around the island in 20 minutes. I loved how quiet this place was, and I didn’t see any kids there. In spite of its small size they had five restaurants serving different types of food. Some of the reef is damaged, but we still saw plenty of fish of varying sizes and colors! I would go back in a flash!

The best in Maldives
This is one of the best resorts in Maldives : the island is small and quite with amazing views, the rooms are very comfortable and supper clean, restaurants offer verities of selections, the service is amazingly good! In a few days, we saw big turtles, stingrays, manta ray, many, many colorful fishes just by walking around the island. We enjoyed the eco friendly environment. Thanks to Laura, Cai, and all staff numbers, especially the restaurant manager and owner who made our 30 years anniversary more special! See you next year! Thanks to all, again!

Kandolhu is perfect. Small. Amazing house reef and loads of great diving nearby. Beautiful (modern) design. The ocean villas are stunning - the most gorgeous bathroom I’ve ever had (even if it gets a little warm with the sun streaming in through all the glass). Fabulous food - amazing to have 5 restaurants on a teeny island. Lovely staff all around. Fab wine list and all inclusive programme is great (we don’t usually go for that kind of thing but it works here). We were absolutely delighted with everything about our stay and can’t wait to return!! Thanks Laura and Mark and team for an amazing stay!

It was a good stay overall, but the weak link was the Food. Not great quality and not much choice for Vegetarians. The Manager made a significant reduction in the Food costs, which was welcome and appreciated.
