Overview

Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma Maldives sits in South Malé Atoll, about 45 minutes by speedboat from Velana International Airport. Sea breeze, white sand, and a clear lagoon open up from the moment you arrive, with no seaplane transfer needed, making it especially easy for families and first-time Maldives travelers to settle into island time.

As an IHG Holiday Inn Resort island, Kandooma trades heavy traditional resort styling for a crisp modern look in bright white and blue. The resort has 154 spacious contemporary villas across garden, beach, lagoon, and overwater settings, giving couples, small families, and larger family groups room to choose by budget and travel style.

The resort is set beside a wide lagoon where the inner waters are generally calmer, suited to swimming, snorkeling, and relaxed water activities. Beyond the lagoon, the island connects to more energetic ocean experiences, including surfing and diving. During the day, children can join daily activities at Kandoo Kids Club while adults ease into COMO Shambhala spa, ocean-view dining, and unhurried drinks by the sea.

Generous Family And Kids Benefits: What makes Kandooma especially appealing for families is how practical the benefits are: children under 4 stay, eat, and transfer free, while children aged 4 to 12 stay and eat free. Kandoo Kids Club welcomes children from 4 to 12 with a library, arts and crafts, games, and an outdoor splash pool with water slides, plus daily activities that give parents space to enjoy their own island time.

Kandooma Right Surfing And Indian Ocean Diving: Right in front of the resort is Kandooma Right, one of the Maldives’ well-known right-hand surf breaks. From April to October, its fast, beautifully shaped waves draw surfers from around the world. Experienced surfers can book dedicated surf packages, while beginners can learn in controlled conditions with certified instructors. Beneath the surface, the resort can arrange dives tailored to your interests, where butterflyfish, bannerfish, sharks, rays, and reef sharks bring the Indian Ocean to life like a moving blue garden.
