Overview

Kandolhu Maldives

Island dreams come true in Kandolhu. This piece of paradise in North Ari Atoll is made for exclusive escapes, fringed by a house reef brimming with natural wonders and home to resident turtles. Thirty villas in five distinctly designed categories are inspired by contemporary Maldivian design – three beachfront types set in lush greenery, and two overwater pool villa types.

For a small, intimate island, Kandolhu offers plenty of dining: The Market, Olive, Sea Grill, Banzai and Ata Roa, plus Vilu Bar, villa dining and private beach dining. Guests enjoy Varu Spa, diving and snorkelling on one of the best house reefs in the area, and complimentary non-motorised water sports.
