“Please read before you go...exceptional stay!”

Sep 20, 2025niam02

We went as a family of four adults to Kandima Maldives, staying in 2 Aqua Villas with Swirl Pools on the Dine Around All-Inclusive package, and we had an incredible week! The transfer we booked involved a domestic flight and speedboat. When we landed at MLE, a Kandima representative guided us every step of the way, from where to wait, to checking in and boarding the domestic flight. There can be a few short waits depending on other flights, but the team’s help made the process completely seamless and stress-free. Check-in at Kandima itself was quick and informative. With the Dine Around All-Inclusive package, you have access to the Beach, Breeze, and Forbidden Bars; the buffet restaurant Zest/Flavour for all three meals; and three a la carte restaurants for dinner — Sea Dragon (Oriental), Azure (Mediterranean), and Smoked (BBQ). Each a la carte meal is a three-course experience, and all three were fantastic. Sea Dragon stood out thanks to our waiter Afxal, who was friendly, talkative, and guided us to the best dishes and local culture. On top of that, the package includes daily snorkelling, minibar access, and a range of other activities, so there’s plenty to do without needing to spend extra. Our Aqua Villas were amazing — huge, spotlessly clean, with Swirl Pools overlooking the turquoise sea and stunning sunsets every evening. They have direct access to the ocean, which is perfect if you want to hop in for a swim or even spot some marine life — we saw baby sharks and a stingray! The mini-bar is restocked daily and included in the AI package, which was a really nice touch. The resort itself offers plenty to explore. There are two pools: the beach pool with an in-water bar, and the main pool with a bar you need to get out of the water to use. The sunset beach next to Zest is perfect for relaxing or taking photos. The beach is mostly soft sand with a few small rocks near the water, and there’s a scenic lake and bikes you can hire for $5 to explore the island. There are live DJs at the Breeze Bar, a band, and themed parties like the Glow Party and White Party. Even in low season, it was easy to get involved, on our final night, we managed to gather a big group and dance together, which was such a highlight. The spa is also available on-site and was fantastic for a little relaxation during the week. The staff across the resort were amazing, and we’d like to give extra special recognition to Afxal (Morning Buffet/Sea Dragon), Fahadde (Buffet/Smoked), Kunal & Rasel (Beach Bar), and also recognition to Kaamil (HQ), Mohammed (HQ/Manager), Kiara (Entertainment Team), Lucy (HQ), and Iakmal (Maintenance) — they all made our stay feel extra special. The only minor downsides are that some areas, like the beach bar food, Deli, Aroma Cafe, Go-Karting, and the Play Area, aren’t included in the Dine Around AI package and do cost extra, but you do get some discounts with the AI package. Also, while the buggy/bus service is convenient for getting around the island, the frequency sometimes means a 10–15 minute wait. Overall, Kandima Maldives offers a fantastic mix of relaxation, activities, and excellent food. From the smooth transfer at MLE to the stunning villas, great dining options, entertainment, and very friendly staff, it’s a resort that has something for everyone. We had an amazing stay and would recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful, all-inclusive escape.

“Amazing photo and drone shooting with Sidhra”

What we liked the most at Kandima was our amazing experience with Sidhra during the photo and drone shooting. She exceeded our expectations, delivering amazing photos and drone footage. Sidhra is kind, patient, she took the time to understand our requests, was highly accommodating, and made the entire process enjoyable. If you’re looking to create unforgettable memories at Kandima, I highly recommend Sidhra.
