Delicious food, with locally-sourced options at every meal (don't miss the fish tacos!). Warm and friendly personal service. Diving is exceptional - instructors are patient with beginners and offered bespoke itineraries for qualified divers. The house reef is lively and healthy, and for sites further afield the best dive boat this side of the Caribbean. Rooms are beautifully put together.

Island like paradise, excellent and clean rooms, friendly staff! The island has a beautiful House reef with thousands of fish, “Nemos” and corals. The water sports staff were extremely helpful. The island is small and crowded. The rooms are well separated from each other, you feel private. I highly recommend! Thank you to the entire staff for a wonderful stay and we will definitely be back! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/DE8657FCBEC33273975881687BF3651BDD96EF141698233377943.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/FC1AD906B6101666EE1E14C7135C16CCE14E527E1698233386984.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7E4747D6EB52EE9EF23CC4957D8A96829B2903581698233384796.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/054ECE4A557F9879D7F77055029EF672C47D4C6F1698233383893.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Maria Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alistair John 24 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We were lucky enough to have had our second visit to stunning kandolhu. Words cannot express how special this island is, stunning food, beautiful accommodation, and staff that make you feel so welcome it’s like coming home to long lost family. A friendly face will greet you all over the island that feels very warm and genuine. Chiara and Mike were fantastic in the dive centre, helping me to achieve my PADI open water certificate, and being very knowledgeable for more experienced divers as well. The food is the best food I have ever had on any holiday, each restaurant is excellent and will not disappoint. Chef Raghi was always on hand to explain any dishes, with him and the team expertly tailoring them to your tastes, all delivered to your table with a smile by the delightful Estela, Zihan, Maan or the others who I can’t quite remember. We opted for the ocean pool villa this time which was every bit as stunning as the island it is connected to. The only slight complaint was the bathroom was starting to look a little tired in our villa, crumbling grout lines and aging safety strip on the glass - this didn’t bother us but might be an issue for some people considering the cost of this accommodation. All in all a fantastic holiday in the perfect location, we were a little worried it wouldn’t live up to the first time, but we needn’t have, I’d love to come back for a 3rd time if and when finances allow! ##### Alistair John Stayed 10 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andre 1 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Wonderful experience.

We stayed for 6 memorable days. We had a ocean pool villa and I really enjoyed it. The beach ones looked great as well but with the ocean ones you truly have privacy since nobody ever comes by. We purchased all inclusive but full board would have probably been enough. It depends on how much you drink. The house reef was my absolute favorite. I saw so many fishes, big and small, it was memorable. We had a very romantic vacation and the staff was amazing. Everyone from the team was fantastic. I do suggest bringing your own go pro since they do have shortages and there are wait times for them. Otherwise the food was great, you can also ask anyone if you want something spicier etc. they do cater to the European crowd that is a little soft on spicy (I’m German too but like a nice kick). The drinks were also fantastic as well as their wine selection, and I’m a bit of a wine snob at times. We are definitely returning. ##### Astrid Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elizabeth 2 May 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort This is the most beautiful place I have ever stayed! It is quiet and relaxed. The island is small so this is the only resort on it. You can walk around the island in 20 minutes. I loved how quiet this place was, and I didn’t see any kids there. In spite of its small size they had five restaurants serving different types of food. Some of the reef is damaged, but we still saw plenty of fish of varying sizes and colors! I would go back in a flash! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/D93732FCDA598BC4C0C608B09CFF7FE564E43CCE1651460500577.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/E43AD90E0ABC8B35DAF968008F692C9DBE2FBD431651460659858.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3B1D746974BA9C2027B43EAF19D8A28E21F7AAB11651460660523.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/496ED1CB8F95A7F5EF2B42F9D4BA80C529862D9C1651460660235.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Elizabeth Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 27 Jun 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Magnifique petite île qui offre une un calme unique vu sa taille, nous avons passer un merveilleux séjour, le personnel est merveilleux, les infrastructures excellentes, les restaurants vraiements excellents, nous avions vraiment d'avoir notre propre île privée.

In a few days, we saw big turtles, stingrays, manta ray, many, many colorful fishes just by walking around the island. We enjoyed the eco friendly environment. Thanks to Laura, Cai, and all staff numbers, especially the restaurant manager and owner who made our 30 years anniversary more special! See you next year! Thanks to all, again! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 27 Nov 2018 Kandolhu is perfect. Small. Amazing house reef and loads of great diving nearby. Beautiful (modern) design. The ocean villas are stunning - the most gorgeous bathroom I’ve ever had (even if it gets a little warm with the sun streaming in through all the glass). Fabulous food - amazing to have 5 restaurants on a teeny island. Lovely staff all around. Fab wine list and all inclusive programme is great (we don’t usually go for that kind of thing but it works here). We were absolutely delighted with everything about our stay and can’t wait to return!! Thanks Laura and Mark and team for an amazing stay! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Oliver 7 Jan 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Kandolhu It was a good stay overall, but the weak link was the Food. Not great quality and not much choice for Vegetarians. The Manager made a significant reduction in the Food costs, which was welcome and appreciated. ##### Oliver Stayed 8 nights in Dec 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tess 29 Jun 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### One of the Closest Places to Paradise on Earth This is a stunning resort - absolutely beautiful. Only suitable for those who want a quiet and relaxing holiday. It's very peaceful and luxurious. Four restaurants all with delicious food. A lovely bar that plays nice background music and that's the only music you will hear on the island. The staff are all extremely helpful and lovely people and will go out of their way to accommodate any request you may have. You rarely see anybody on the beach. There are 30 villas on the island - eleven over the water villas and seven of these with pools - which I would highly recommend to book. Some of the beach villas also have pools (maybe all of them) hence the lack of people on the beaches. You can walk around the whole island in 20 minutes if strolling along the beach. The only bad thing is if you are going for the snorkeling - unfortunately it would seem that ALL the Maldives house reefs have been bleached and attacked by Crown of Thorns - so no colour to be seen - or very little - you have to go diving for the live coral. The fish are still beautiful though and so still worth going snorkeling. We saw lots of parrot fish, clown fish and many other colourful fish, also saw turtles every time we went snorkeling and a basking shark one day. ##### Tess Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 16 Jan 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Hôtel tout simplement parfait!!

The small island is quiet and private with an amazing house reef and excellent food. Went on a manta ray excursion one morning and saw about 10 mantas, but spent most days exploring the house reef. This was our second trip and we hope to visit again soon. ##### Laura ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 10 May 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 楽園 ロケーション最高。 部屋もきれいです。ただ、潮風の影響か電気関係が弱く、電話やテレビの調子が悪かったです。（スタッフにすぐに直してもらいましたが） レストランも東京の星つきのイタリアンよりもおいしいくらい良いです。 ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Eric, hong kong 21 Apr 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A perfect island Kandolhu Island is a perfect resort.
