Kandima island

Kandima is a private island on Dhaalu atoll, Maldives. The island is very long, so there are both comfortable beaches, as well as relatively wild areas without any development. Everything is beautiful - without any problems. It is only worth to mention, that home reef is very poor. Therefore, snorkeling is not the best here. Shore and seabed: sand. [edit]

Hotels [edit]

Kandima Maldives is a 5-star resort with rooms' fares starting from as low as US$300 per night. This is a bargain for such a great place. However, the final bill will not be very cheap due to many unexpected fees and taxes.

Please also note, that "all inclusive" in their opinion is just a fullboard meal plan. Other problem is that you'll get a lot of papers instead of one final bill, so it is important to check everything after their calculations.

How to get there [edit]

Fly to Maldives international airport (MLE). Next get to Kandima island:

- by seaplane - 40 minutes per way (US$550 for the round trip, US$350 for children 2-11 years, infants are for free);

- by domestic flight to Dhaalu airport (DDD) followed by boat transfer - 30 minutes and 15 minutes more (US$350 for the round trip, US$290 for children 2-11 years, infants are for free).

When to go [edit]

The best time to relax on the beaches of Kandima island is a dry season in the winter half of the year.
