Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma, Maldives

Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma is a contemporary, lagoon-facing, tropical island hideaway just a 40 minute speedboat ride from Male International Airport. Slip into island life from the moment you arrive at the resort, with world-class South Malé Atoll diving and surfing on your doorstep. The beach villas ooze style and boast luxury touches like outdoor showers and i-Pod docking stations.

Grab a coffee and wood-fired pizza from the Bokkuraa Coffee Club beside the sparkling infinity pool, or unwind with a good book and views over the peaceful lagoon. You can indulge in a soothing Thai massage and beauty treatments in the Kandooma Spa, and book the Spa Suite's private garden with plunge pool for a romantic afternoon.

Learn to sail on a catamaran trip around the region's sandbanks and take it easy with alcohol-free cocktails on a sunset cruise. It's just 5 minutes by boat from Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma Maldives for diving and snorkelling among colourful tropical fish on the reef.

Face-painting and fun games keep the children entertained in the Kids' Club, while parents unwind with a game of tennis or a workout in the gym....or a cocktail!

Round off a perfect day with a Maldivian seafood feast and breathtaking sunsets on the deck at The Kitchen restaurant.
