About Holiday Inn Kandooma

Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma Maldives sits on Kandooma Fushi in South Malé Atoll, about 40 minutes by speedboat from Velana International Airport — we reach it by boat from our base. It is a relaxed, family-friendly island with a long beach, beach villas and bungalows, and a reputation among surfers for the reef break that peels off its shore. Wide beaches, a shallow lagoon, and the nearby surf give us an unusual range: family portraits, couples at sunset, and surf-and-lifestyle frames in one location.
