About the island
Kandima Maldives is a newly opened island in 2017 and belongs to Pulse Hotels & Resorts along with hotels such as Huvafen Fushi, Niyama, and Kandolhu. The hotel is located in Dhaalu Atoll, Maldives, and can be reached from Male International Airport by a 30-minute domestic flight followed by a 20-minute speedboat. The island has a total of 266 rooms, 6 restaurants, and 3 bars, and there are many meal plan options including half board (HB), full board (FB), all-inclusive (SAI), and platinum all-inclusive (PAI).
Why stay here
Island opened in December 2016, with complete facilities, free bicycles, PADI dive school, 100-square-meter public pool, marine biology center, yoga, tennis court, basketball court, resident medical aid center, etc. There are many food choices on the island, opening promotions, high cost performance, and a spacious kids club, very suitable for family vacations.
Highlights
The island is large, with complete facilities and equipment, and service is very good, humorous and enthusiastic. The buffet restaurant serves great meals three times a day, very suited to Chinese tastes, so you will not find it hard to eat. When the weather is good, the sea is super beautiful; kayaking farther offshore reveals large patches of coral, colorful and of many types, with many small fish; the sunset fishing activity is excellent, and the sand is also very fine and soft.
Before you go
For beach villas, note that "Sky & Beach Studios" are apartment-style room types, divided into upper and lower floors, with 4 rooms per building. This room type has rather average privacy; overall snorkeling is very average and not suitable for snorkeling enthusiasts.
