“Solid resort”

Sep 27, 2025benjaminh845

Loved the water villa which was a great place the chill our for a few days. Service was excellent from housekeeping and all restaurant staff. I wouldn’t call it a real “5 star” resort but is affordable for the Maldives and the experience is great. Resort is a little tired but staff make up for it. Quantity over quiality when it comes to food and drink but again for the price and only 4 days it is good. Seaplane logistics are really well managed and seem less from arrivals to resort and back.

“Excellent resort with dream beaches and underwater world”

Sep 26, 2025Natalja S

Dream beaches, snorkelling opportunities every day, excellent food and accommodation. The staff was friendly and helpful, made us feel great. Unforgettable spa experience with Tai Massages for couples is a must have at Kanifushi

“This Place Will Blow Your Mind!!”

Sep 25, 2025Daren L

5-stars is not even close to what this place deserves. Should be 10,20,30, even 50 stars!! Most people will probably focus their review on the island, resort, restaurants/food, amenities, rooms, teal blue/green ocean water, crystal clear swimming pools, white sand beaches, stunning scenery, etc. All of that was top-notch and on par with a 5-star resort. I don't want to downplay any of these topics as they are very important in any review, but I want to focus my review on the staff. I'm from USA and the hospitality service industry across America has gone to the toilet. It was not great before COVID but post it's just overall terrible. So it was really nice to visit a resort of this caliber and be blown away at the quality of the service from EVERY person we encountered. Everyone from the staff at the airport to the seaplane pilots to the resort front desk receptionists to the servers, landscapers, maintenance crews, room attendants, literally every individual was so humble, kind, respectful, and very pleasant to speak with. For me personally the staff made my vacation. All the other stuff was just a bonus. I cannot speak enough as to the caliber of their hard work, dedication, and determination to make every guest's stay the most exclusive experience of their lives. With well over 200 resort islands scatter throughout the Maldives, it would be great to visit another one on my next trip, but the incredible Staff, Resort, Amenities and Natural Beauty of Atmosphere Kanifushi have basically "forced" me to return lol And you can bet your bottom dollar...........I will be back!!
