Universal Resorts , 39 Orchid Magu, 09110 Himandhoo , Maldives –

Lock in a great price for Kandolhu Maldives – rated 9.4 by recent guests!

to get started.

Kandolhu is a true luxury experience - from the silky soft white sand to the beautiful rooms. The marine wildlife includes many sea turtles lingering to have a look at the strange beings snorkelling around them.

Suzette, South Africa

Management and Staff were outstanding as was the food choices and quality

Granville, New Zealand

Perfect paradise. Very small and private. Snorkeling is unreal. Food was amazing, be sure to try Olive (Italian restaurant) it is superb and not what your expecting. Staff couldn't do enough. Will return.

Ian, United Kingdom

It is the perfect place if you want to feel unique. It s is a small complexe with only 30 rooms/villas. There are a lot of possibilities of excursion. We did the Manta tour, it was magic! The nature is around you and it is a preserved place/environment. I will strongly recommend this place for couples/adults. I was looking for a unique Maldives experience with my BF; kandohlu Island and its team did our dream possible. Thanks to Marc & Laura for their professional behavior.

Olivier, France

Everything. Most remarkable: location, food (5 restaurants), pool villa, privacy, service and underwater sealife. It was our second time on Kandolhu so we can say that there is guarantee to see turtles, sharks and big fish at close range (latter is not the case on all islands especially with turtles who are quite shy but not on Kandolhu). Very personal service, nearly all of the crew was the same as last year. Thanks to Laura, Marc, Mae, Mikhail, Husham and all others! Diving school has big selection in fins and snorkels to borrow, no need to bring some with you!

Thomas, Austria

People, food, the villa... just perfect. Very private island... although the weather was mixed... we enjoyed every second. Compliments to all the staff making this place special.

Martin, Switzerland

ein kompletter Scherz! hohe Preise und 3-Sterne-Service! Sie haben keinen Zimmerservice und der Chef betrinkt sich abends an der Bar! Niemand begrüßt Sie am Flughafen! Gehen Sie woanders hin, verschwenden Sie nicht Ihr Geld !!

Guest, Italy

到了水飞停机码头是快艇来接的，快艇上有4个工作人员，其中一个小姐姐会说中文，很贴心，看到我有点晕船，问我身体如何，还给我一瓶水。当快艇快接近岛的时候就看到码头上一群工作人员迎接我们。有点惊讶，毕竟在国内这种服务很少啊。其中一位便是酒店管理经理，很热情。然后便由那位会说中文的小姐姐带我们去别墅。到了别墅后她一一向我们介绍酒店详情，酒店设施，浮潜注意事项等等。酒店还会借GoPro给客人们。这点非常好啊，很贴心。最重要的是完全不用我去lobby check in，小姐姐就问我借了一下护照扫描，我们就开始度假了。环境非常美，沙滩上很多寄居蟹，浅水区就有很多鱼。到了晚餐时间你就会看到酒店经理在各个餐厅里热情的询问客人们住的如何，餐饮如何。大概从第二天开始餐厅服务员就能认出你是几号房的客人。我和先生最喜欢的是日料那家餐厅。the market每天早上会为客人准备不同口味的smoothie。我最喜欢第一天的椰奶smoothie。每天会有2次打扫房间，早晚各一次，打扫的很干净。床头柜有驱蚊液。沙滩上每周不定期有活动。免费的新鲜椰子。总之入住期间很开心，很放松，很舒服。

スタッフの皆さんは明るく親切でお部屋も清潔、レストランのお食事も美味しく頂きました。スパの施術もとても丁寧にトリートメントしてくれます。チェックイン・チェックアウトの前後でもスパにあるシャワールームを使うことができ大変助かりました。ダイビングセンターには少し日本語の話せる方がいます。マンタスノーケルで大きなマンタを見ることができて感動しました。ハウスリーフは少し残念な姿ですが、たくさんのお魚とウミガメに会えます。

“Luxurious island escape...”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • 2 rooms
- • Stayed 4 nights
Kandolhu's breakfast fare was fantastic, but except for the Mexican fare, the other dishes failed to match the luxury level of the island. There is, however, a new chef arriving at the island and we are sure the new recipes will be of the standard matching the rest of the island experience.
Kandolhu is a true luxury experience - from the silky soft white sand to the beautiful rooms. The marine wildlife includes many sea turtles lingering to have a look at the strange beings snorkelling around them.
