Sehr schönes, ruhiges, kleines 5* Hotel - perfekt zum Entspannen und Schnorcheln!
Pros: Die sehr kleine Insel punktet vor allem mit ihrem Riff, das dazu einlädt direkt vor der Insel zu Schnorcheln (Schildkröten, Haie, Rochen und viele viele bunte Fische). Da es nur wenige Villen gibt, ist es sehr ruhig und angenehm erholsam (kein Lärm, keine Partys, keine Wasserflugzeuge). Die Villen sind alle sehr komfortabel und gut ausgestattet. Die verschiedenen A-la-Carte Themen-Restaurants bieten ein abwechslungsreiches und leckeres Speisenangebot. Der Service ist super und man fühlt sich sehr schnell sehr wohl. Zu empfehlen ist auch der Spa-Bereich mit einem tollem Ambiente und erstklassigen Massagen. Die Anreise erfolgt von Male mit dem Wasserflugzeug und anschließend mit dem Boot (5-10 Minuten). Auch hier wurde vom Hotel alles perfekt organisiert, so dass man sich um nichts kümmern muss.
Cons: Trotz einsetzender Regensaison (erste Mai Woche), hatten wir mit dem Wetter insgesamt Glück (kaum Regen, viel Sonne, warmes Wasser, viel Schnorcheln). Da es morgens/vormittags aber immer recht windig war, konnten keine Exkursionen durchgeführt werden. Da kann das Hotel nichts für, aber wer auf Nummer sicher gehen will sollte einen anderen Reisezeitraum wählen.

Bel hotel idéal pour se reposer et nager.
Pros: C'est un petit hôtel avec une clientèle particulièrement agréable, calme et courtoise. Transfert par hydravion (1/2h). Le beau bateau de l’hôtel vous attend sur la plate forme et en 10 min vous découvrez les lieux. Cela évite les bruits d'hydravion a proximité. J'ai fait plusieurs séjours aux Maldives en catégorie équivalente et je trouve que l’hôtel a de vrais atouts comme le service personnalisé (seuls ou à 2 sur toutes les activités). La direction très agréable et aidante parle français, entre autres. De plus il n'y a a pas d'attente pour réserver dans les restaurants, au diving center et toutes les activités sont réalisables facilement. Le mini bar de la chambre est très bien et placé dans l'entrée. Un panier de fruits à l'arrivée nous attendait et la chambre nous a été délivrée immédiatement (10h am). Snorkeling: Même si les coraux du lagon sont détruits et blancs mais en phase de reconstruction, la diversité des espèces vues est exceptionnelle. Nous avons fait les meilleures observations ever. Les tortues sont partout et les raies sur le tombant sont là en permanence. Nous avons fait le snorkeling de nuit au milieu des requins avec un accompagnateur. Une totale safe et fabuleuse expérience. A noter: Il y a un fort courant mais le système de bouées est remarquablement bien pensé ce qui permet à tout le monde avec des palmes de profiter des fonds marins. La pêche était très bien tout comme le manta point. Water villas: Literie très confortable et oreiller ok, la salle de bain en "aquarium" est vraiment sympa avec la mer sur deux faces. Cela permet d'admirer les espèces qui barbotent devant la villa. Nous avons vu le soir des chasses époustouflantes et du plancton bioluminescent. La végétation de l'île est très belle et il n'y a pas de moustiques ni de lézards pour ceux que cela dérange. Petite attention plaisante: La possibilité de faire un sac complet de laundry offert.
Cons: Les quelques points négatifs sont des détails mais j'apprécie de les lire, quand il y en a, afin de me faire une idée précise de l'hôtel où je vais séjourner: - Chambre a rénover: Pas d’électricité accessible sur les tables de chevet ou dans la salle de bain. Il faut se sécher les cheveux devant le bureau dans la chambre au milieu des portables rechargeant (vraiment anormal pour un hotel de cette catégorie). Les rideaux sont défraîchis. Les produits de douche en bidon sont de très mauvaise qualité. Mesdames n'oubliez surtout pas comme moi vos conditioners!!! Un seul et unique sèche serviette dans la salle de bains (douche comprise). Ou donc faire sécher les maillots mis à part sur la baignoire ?!! Bizarre... L'intimité des villas n'est au top: lorsque j'allais de la salle de bain au dressing, la palissade n'étant pas jointive j'avais une vue sur les 2/3 de la salle de bain voisine. L’hôtel dit vouloir y remédier. Mais ce point est clairement à vérifier avant de partir. Totalement anormal. - Le petit déjeuner est servi à table et il y a un micro buffet avec des pâtisseries moyennes et un salé légumes/fromage vraiment quelconque et toujours le même, type 3 étoiles à Paris. L'eau plate ou pétillante est embouteillée sur place et n'est pas close. Cela nous a dérangés, mais elle est bonne et tout le temps réapprovisionnée dans les chambres. La restauration est certes très bien réalisée avec des cartes apparemment larges (le grill) mais en réalité très courtes est lassante au bout de 11 jours. - L'orientation des water villas est au nord. Il faut le savoir parce que la plate forme est dans l'ombre dès 15h Enfin nous avons regretté ne pas trouver de hamac sur la plage ou dans l'eau et transats/parasols mis à part deux devant le restaurant.

Wonderful
Pros: Этот курорт отлично подходит для тех кто: - не любит большие скопления людей - не любит дискотеки и громкую музыку - предпочитает питание а ля карт шведскому столу - умеет наслаждаться тишиной и уединением понравилось - хороший снорклинг: черепахи, акулы, много рыб, видели скатов разных размеров (самый большой был 1,5м в размахе крыльев) - 4 ресторана, хотя они и расположены как единый комплекс но меню разное - отличные блюда из говядины и свежей рыбы - можно запросить приготовить лично под твой запрос то, чего нет в меню - домашняя обстановка тк мало вилл (гостей) и поэтому персонал тоже немногочисленный и есть ощущение домашней атмосферы - вилла на воде ( мы без маленьких детей и любим когда есть ветерок чтобы было не жарко в течение всего дня)
Cons: у нас был формат все включено - выбор вин довольно большой но можно бы было немного повысить качество самих вин. - трансфер туда в итоге не совсем соответствовал описанию - первый полет на гидросамолете 25 мин, потом еще один 10 мин и только потом катер 12 минут.

Absolute heaven on earth. This was our first trip to the Maldives. We did a ton of research to find the right resort for our family (2 adults, 2 teens) We definitely chose right! From the moment we docked at Kandolhu, we were pampered and spoiled. The service is out of this world. From many of our hosts knowing our names to a perfect balance of privacy and meticulous attention to detail all over the tiny island. Btw, shout out to whoever created the in room Playlist! The music was phenomenal! We also believe Kandolhu has one of the best house reefs available. The night snorkeling is a must. We also went wakeboarding, which was an awesome experience. It's also nice that the water activity equipment is all free to use if you don't need a guide (SUP, kayaks, snorkels, etc) We chose not to purchase a meal plan as our teens are super picky light eaters and even my husband and I don't eat or drink enough to make the a la carte plan make sense. We probably spent about 1/4 of what the meal plan costs each day. So unless you are planning to really let go, it makes sense to pass. On that note however, I have my one and only negative comment. While water is plentiful in the rooms, in the gym, at the included breakfasts, it is not included at lunch and dinner when you don't have a meal plan. (I'm talking about still water) This seemed silly and unnecessary. We would fill our own bottles with the water from the rooms and bring it to our meals. I don't think our hosts knew what to make of us! Water is life! As you will fully embrace after your time living in it at beautiful Kandolhu.

We visited Kandolhu for our honeymoon and stayed 6 nights. Kandolhu was a real little paradise for us and we really enjoyed everything. 1. All staffs were very kind and professional. They gave us warm greeting all the time and gave us perfect service. Reception staffs including Landysh always helped us properly. Every liquid recommended by vilu bar's staff including Mr. Gilbert, Mr. Bagul, Mr. Ziham and so on was sooooo good and we loved it. 2. Even though the island is small, they have five restaurants(which means a lot) and each provides various kinds of food and dessert which taste soooo good. I missed the mexican lunch beside the beach, also Banzai, Sea&grill, The market and Olive. all server staffs are so nice ~ I miss Estella's "All good?!" already. 3. Kandolhu has many things to enjoy. First we learned snorkeling from Naweed and his boss helped us too. He was a good instructor so we can enjoy snorkeling during honeymoon trip. The sea condition was so excllent that we can enjoy everytime. Second we went Manta trip with Naweed far from about 30mins by speedboat. (If you need, you can get motionsickness pills at the medical center) During trip we saw many mantas and took Gopro videos too. Next we took basic lesson on scuba diving from Kiara & Michael. They are really professional and nice instructors. Thanks to their help, although it was our first diving we did it two times sucessfully. Kandolhu's house reef was so beautiful and we could see many fishes, turtles, sharks, eels and so on just right in front of us. Diving is one of the best experience we had, really recommend it. (You can do it too !) Last, we also took massage during 75 mins. All staffs are kind and relaxing, their skills are all good. We were really relaxed. We really miss Kandolhu and look forward to visiting again someday.

가족과 함께 할 수 있는 조용하고 아늑한 분위기의 최고급 리조트입니다. 세상의 소란스러움에서 완전히 벗어나 인도양의 넓고 푸른 바다와 더불어 온전한 쉼을 얻을 수 있는 최적의 장소이기도 합니다. 직원들은 모두 친절하며 식사도 매우 만족스럽습니다. 기회가 된다면 꼭 한 번 더 가보고 싶은 좋은 휴양지입니다.

We went for a family vacation from end of Dezember to mid January and were happy in all possible ways! The whole Kandolhu team is super friendly and provide an amazing stay! With the 5 restaurants you have a wide variety of foods to try and to explore different tastes! Special hint: We absolutely fell in love with the „butter chicken“ at the market - you’ll not find it on the card and you have to pre-order it 24hrs. in advance but it will blow your mind! The island is extremely clean, you have many small & bigger sharks circling close the the shore or around the reef as well as at least 3 turtles and eagle rays! We stayed at a water bungalow and with their direct access to the ocean you get to see corals and fish close to your doorstep! Snorkling around the housreefs really is a blissful experience as the corals and marine life has recovered very well from it‘s previous bleaching! Diving with Chiara & Michael makes a lot of fun and you even get to see some dive sites only approached from Kandolhu with fishswarms and hard corals as far as you can see - it really was an amazing experience! Special thanks to Nasru, Kris, Elvira, Estella, Waan for their excellent service in the restaurants, Raghi for looking after us and ensuring that we liked the food, Chiara, Michael and the boat crew for providing such funny dives and their efforts on the boat, Gilbert and the lady at the bar which welcomed you always with a smile and provided fantastically, Immi, which was always there for you if you had any question and Monika & Giaume, as the hosts of the island they were always open for a chat, where making sure that if something was needed you would get it immediately - great effort by all the Kandolhu Team!

Myself and my husband visited Kandolhu for a week as part of a bigger trip. From the moment we arrived we knew this was going to be a very special part of our trip. This island really encompasses all of the beauty of the Maldives with turquoise seas and white sands. Our water villa was immaculate with an extensive mini bar, robes, umbrellas, iPad, wonderfully comfortable bed and even insect repellent! My husband spoke very highly of the dive team who were very knowledgeable about the area, helpful and friendly throughout his dive trips. The snorkelling on the house reef was seriously breathtaking and I highly recommend a guided snorkel as staff pointed out so many different species and shared their amazing local knowledge. We also used the spa on several occasions and found the quality of massages and facilities fantastic. For such a small island there was a wonderful variety of food options all of which were outstanding! I have a serious food allergy and the staff were always aware of this and went above and beyond to ensure my food not only safe but also ensured I enjoyed the same choice and variety that other guests had. The ethos and service on this island is something else. Everyone will say hello as you walk by, all take pride in their work, the gardens and beaches are immaculate and there was a strong environmental value. All of the staff were so genuinely warm and caring and they too seemed appreciated and valued by the management team. This island is literally perfection and we will remember our stay there forever!

This place is just something very special due the environment for sure but also for the incredible human relations you can find there. There you are not only a client but a guest, with a G. On the island, every member of the staff will very quickly knows your tastes and will anticipate your wishes. The food is prepared by two Indian Chefs who are able to delight you with the local cuisine adapted to European tastes but also with excellent european foods. The rooms are very comfortable and the maintenance service desserve a grade A. This people are very respectfull of the nature. Go there, enjoy the sharks sleeping under the diving pontoon every night, the majestifc heron bird which will visit you on the beach. Unforgettable!!!! .

Très petite île intimiste où l’on se sent privilégié du séjourner. Uniquement 30 villas… on se sent seul au monde sur cette île paradisiaque. Les villas possèdent largement tout le confort nécessaire. Vous avez 5 restaurants tous différents, petit coup de coeur pour le Sea grill et les délicieux poissons grillés. Nous avions choisi la formule all inclusive qui donne accès à tous les plats et boissons sauf champagne et langouste. La présence du chef Yoni Saada repéré dans l’émission Top chef nous a permis de déguster un excellent repas accord plats/vins au restaurant Olive. Tout le staff est adorable, merci Estella pour sa gentillesse et son sourire. Merci à Uri et Mike pour les plongées magnifiques. Les différents spots situés dans les alentours de l’île sont extra. Nous avons eu la chance d’observer un peu près tout de ce qu’on peut attendre… requins, raies Manta, Napoléon, tortue…etc Je précise également que le snorkeling sur le récif autour de l’hôtel est juste incroyable. Petit bout de paradis que l’on conseille sans hésiter! Nous rentrons d’un séjour de 10 jours et absolument aucun point négatif à donner. MERCI et peut être à une prochaine fois! Jérôme et Laurent

After having read all the excellent reviews from previous visitors we also decided to book Kandolhu. And I can only say that was an excellent decision! The already given great reviews were all spot on! Booking over the Kandolhu website was very smooth. Excellent service from the front desk staff in organizing pre-payment, payment and water airplane. After landing in Male, a short transfer to the new Lounge just next to where the water airplane departs. Lounge very nice and modern. From there a 30 mins flight to Kandolhu. We really appreciated being welcomed by Guillaume and the crew right on arrival on the Jetty. Then we were shown to our Beach Villa (number 109) and also received a tour of all the island facilities such as restaurants etc. Great intro! The beach villa was lovely. Very spacious, great bathroom, excellent bed with direct access to the beach and the sea. Coffee and tee facilities, a loudspeaker that connected over bluetooth to the I-Phone etc. The only thing that was missing is an outdoor shower when coming back from the sea. The beach villas are best located for sundowners given they face to the west. The house reef is beautiful, lots of corals and many different fish with friendly sharks and turtles. We went snorkeling twice a day and every time saw something not seen before. Kandolhu has 5 different restaurants, all of them "a la carte" and all of them offer a great choice of different dishes at very high quality. We loved it. For our stay we chose the all inclusive package, which we can clearly recommend! Next to all the food (with some small exceptions like lobster) a good choice of wines and alcoholic beverages of international brands is included in this package. There were also some theme evenings (indian / maledivian) offered at an additional price, there we thought this should be included in the AI package and not at a small surcharge. Big congratulations to the staff on the whole island, wow! They really make a difference. Estela, Elvira, Gilbert, Sharif etc (sorry for not mentioning all the names) make you feel at home and welcomed from the moment you arrive on the island. From day 1 they knew our names, we never experienced this before, it feels like visiting family. We also arranged two different excursions with the dive center to see different reefs. One of them was to see Manta's and wow, this was amazing. Naweed made a great job and guided us to a place where we saw at least 5 of them and could watch these unique creatures by snorkeling in the sea and take great pictures. We want to express our big thanks to Guillaume and management and all the staff on Kandolhu for a great experience, WE LOVED IT!

This is the best resort we have ever been to, a true Maldivian paradise. The island is piqture perfect and tiny so you can walk around the island in 8 minutes. Regardless of the size the island offers 5 restaurants with outstanding food and service. The snorkeling was amazing with a fantastic diversity of marine life and corals. We were spoiled with encounters with large sharks, eagle rays and many beautiful fishes. We stayed in January 2022 and can´t wait to go back one day.

So where do I begin…….. We have just returned from a 3 week stay on this AMAZING island! This is our 3rd time to Kandolhu and each and every time it just keeps getting better.  To start we would like to say a MASSIVE thank you to Monika and Guillaume who are the managers of the island. They do a superb job in ensuring all the guests are happy and content. We were lucky enough to of spent many evenings with them over our 3 weeks stay, all of which were very memorable 😊💃🕺As a result we have already booked to return for 3 weeks next year so look out for the speed boat in the WEE WEE distance in August as we will be on it 🙌😜 We stayed again in a beach villa with pool, on arrival the team had remembered literally EVERYTHING we liked, from the alcohol we liked to the fact that our inflatable Unicorn left by us last year was blown up and sitting on our deck waiting for his new BAD BOY friend, the Inflatable Flamingo to join him 😊 we just couldn’t believe this had been saved all that time. Now that is attention to detail …….. AMAZING. The rooms were immaculate as always and the team that both clean these rooms and stocked the mini bar were very thorough and ensured anything we needed we had, a big thank you to you all and a special thank you to Immy for sourcing the glasses and most of all the Jack Daniels, the little notes you left made us smile😘 All of the food and beverage team were very attentive throughout our stay and again ensured everything was as we liked it. We loved the extra hot curries that Justin & the Chefs arranged for us with the Maldivian chillies SO TASTY thank you so much!! The cocktails were all amazing and if they don’t have the one you like just simply ask and they will make it for you just as you like it, our favourite was the PINA COLADA 😊 We celebrated both a milestone birthday and a wedding anniversary whilst staying here and both were recognised by the team, by cakes, cards and beautiful decorations on our bed made from leaves and flowers. We had a meal at the end of the jetty which was amazing ……..until the wind changed direction and brought a massive storm our way 😲  but still Ziham ensured everything was as perfect as it could be, even when it meant losing his umbrella in the wind to save our food 😊 During our stay we were lucky enough to be invited to experience a fantastic meal cooked by Lebanese celebrity chef Joe Barza, which was also paired with various wines presented by a Sommelier. This was a perfect evening with great company……and very posh, thank you for the help with the serviette/napkin/octopus 🙄😜 This year the reef seemed even more alive than last year, we had many encounters with sharks, eagle rays, turtles, and many types of fish the sea was alive with colour and the snorkelling experience was amazing. If you are looking for the perfect island, perfect food, perfect rooms, perfect atmosphere, perfect team with perfect management 😉 Kandolhu is the perfect island to visit. We really cannot wait to return to this perfect tiny paradise island next year, we have the best memories and look forward to making even more next year. Lots of hugs 🫂🫂 Kristy And Mark xxx

We visited Kandolhu in August 2023 as a family of 4(2 adults and 2 teens). Here you mainly come because of the wonderful reef and we weren't dissapointed. The reef is very accessible and we enjoyed the sea life, the corals and the anemone gardens. We saw many sharks(white tip, black tip and nurse sharks). The turtles that Kandolhu is famous for, eels and all the other usual fish. The food was satisfying, we had the Al, they have good chefs and 5 different restaurants. Mind though there was no live entertainment and I think they should fix it, is very boring otherwise. We stayed in 2 Duplex Pool villas and all was good no complain. The thing we didn't like was the gym , was too small and the machines need replacing. I went for massages 3 times at the Spa and was excelent, the girls are very skilled and professional. Overall the service is top notch, we really enjoyed our time there and planning to come back again.

This is our second visit to Maldives but our first visit to Kandolhu, From the very moment we arrived we was greeted and looked after by the amazing staff from Kandolhu who throughout our stay were by far the best of any place we have stayed, every member of staff greeted us by name and made us feel incredibly welcome. The dining at Kandolhu is entirely a-la-carte with an additional buffet that accompanies breakfast. The dining and choices overall were very good although we would have appreciated some variation in the breakfast menu. There is a changing daily morning booster drink shot, it would have been nice to have also had a daily changing special breakfast choice to make it feel less repetitive. Lunch was great with the market, ATA ROA, and bar snacks all available, There was a special dinner theme almost every night including Maldivian, Indian and even a Beef wellington night! with the other restaurants and menus still available if you don't fancy that days special. The Restaurants themselves were all incredible, Kandolhu offers a great choice at dinner, Especially considering the islands small size. With Sea Grill, Olive, Market and banzai to choose from there is something for everyone, it felt like dining at a top restaurant every night. While at Kandolhu we tried the cooking class where we learned to make a fabulous fish curry (that we enjoyed for lunch) and had our own private dinner on the arrival jetty which was simply one of the best anniversary experiences we have had. We was lucky to get room 211 which is situated right at the end of the Jetty with unobstructed views out to the ocean, We wasted many hours just sitting on our deck watching all the amazing sea creatures go by, this included Rays (both eagle and stingray) sharks, squid and tons of colourful fish without even having to leave our room. We opted for the Ultimate Inclusions package which allowed us free reign of all the snacks and drinks in the minibar (Excluding the champagne) but this still included almost 30 different white, rose and red wines, cava, prosecco along with snacks and soft drinks/beer and even premium spirits! The room was always kept very clean by the amazing housekeeping with possibly the best thing ever being a diferent cake/sweet treat left after turndown each night! for us by far the best feature of this room was the bathroom with its incredible views over the reef and a bath that is big enough for two! the only thing missing for us was somewhere to put your wine glass down while in the bath watching the fish go by. Now onto the main reason we chose Kandolhu, the house reef which was incredible and snorkeled at least twice a day every single day and always saw something diferent. Highlights for us include the very friendly turtles that will literally surface right in front of you, Sharks galore including black tip, white tip and Nursing sharks, we even found a couple of snowflake moray eels between the corals with quite possibly the cutest porcupinefish we have ever seen that hides in a hole in a rock during the morning. We found the best place to enter the reef being the Service jetty (always have a peek under the jetty for resting nursing sharks) and snorkeling along to the welcome jetty as most days the current would let you slowly drift in the right direction. There is tons of fish and vibrant coral at Kandolhu (far more coral then the previous resort we visited) one thing we would have appreciated (and possibly housekeeping too) would be somewhere on our deck/entrance to be able to store our snorkeling gear without having to walk it through the room! Even though we chose Kandolhu for the reef and the pictures of the bathroom the main star of this resort turned out to be the staff who were simply incredible and made us feel so welcome and took care of us so incredibly well, So well infact that we have already booked to come back next year to celebrate our next wedding anniversary! something that we have never done before. Tips: If you plan to snorkel a lot bring a rash vest, rash bottoms to avoid sunburn. Make sure to bring a waterproof camera/GoPro with you. Own snorkel gear but this is optional as you can hire from the dive centre at no charge. Clearest time to snorkel was before breakfast.

Une Toute petite île pleine de beauté. Tout est réuni… D’abord l’accueil de Monika qui nous a si gentiment surclassés dans une belle villa piscine. Sans elle le séjour n’aurait pas été le même. Les cocktails plein de saveurs de Desham nous manquent,ainsi que la gentillesse de tout le personnel. La diversité des restaurants fait que l’on ne mange jamais de la même chose. Le Cuisinier est à votre écoute pour vous régaler. C’est notre second séjour..depuis la première fois les coraux ont repoussé, c’est encore plus magique… plein de poissons, tortue, requins dans un havre de paix… une île faite pour les amoureux…et le farniente … j’ylaissé un petit bout de cœur et je compte bien y retourner. Pour un mois d’août, nous avons eu un temps exceptionnel.. Merci aussi à Mahan pour ce beau coucher de soleil(offert dans le all inclusive) Je recommande de prendre la pension complète, c’est tellement agréable… Encore bravo et merci à tous pour les merveilleuses vacances que nous avons passées..
