Kandima Maldives is a resort in Dhaalu Atoll, set on its own resort island rather than on an inhabited local island. Like most Maldives resort islands, the island is given over to a single resort, so your room, the restaurants and the beach are all in one place.
Best for
Kandima Maldives suits travellers who want a self-contained island holiday, with the beach, meals and activities a short walk from the room, and who are happy to stay put once they arrive. The listed spa adds an option for slower days.
It suits less well travellers on a tight budget or anyone who wants to see everyday island life, because meals, drinks and excursions are bought from the resort, and leaving the island means a boat trip.

Trade-offs and what to know
Everything on the island is priced by the resort, so the meal plan and drinks make a large difference to the final cost. Transfers are part of the decision too: confirm how Kandima Maldives brings guests from the airport, how long it takes and whether it is included. Once you are on the island, outside excursions depend on the resort’s boat schedule.
Getting there and getting around
Reaching the island involves a domestic flight, a seaplane or a long boat transfer depending on the route, so confirm the arrangement your booking uses.

Before you book
Before booking Kandima Maldives, check which room category you are buying, the meal plan (bed and breakfast, half board, full board or all-inclusive), the transfer type, timing and price from the airport, and the cancellation terms. If you land late, ask whether the transfer can run on arrival or whether a night near the airport is needed first.
