LOCATION
Located in the North Ari Atoll, Kandolhu Island is surrounded by the azure waters of the Indian Ocean. This boutique resort offers a secluded and serene escape, with white-sand beaches and vibrant coral reefs just steps away. The island’s lush tropical landscape and stunning ocean views create an idyllic setting for relaxation and adventure, making it a perfect destination for travellers seeking tranquillity and exploration.
GETTING THERE
Travelling to Kandolhu Island from the United Kingdom involves a flight to Malé International Airport, typically with a layover in a Middle Eastern or European city. Upon arrival in Malé, guests take a scenic 25-minute seaplane transfer followed by a short 15-minute speedboat ride to the resort. The total travel time is approximately 13-16 hours, depending on layover durations. The resort staff coordinates the transfers, ensuring a smooth and comfortable journey.
WHEN TO GO
The best time to visit Kandolhu Island is during the dry season, from November to April. This period offers warm temperatures, low humidity, and minimal rainfall, ideal for outdoor activities and water sports. The months from December to March are particularly popular due to their consistently sunny weather. Even during the wetter months from May to October, the island remains beautiful with lush landscapes and fewer tourists, providing a peaceful and scenic experience.
