About Kandima Maldives

Kandima Maldives is a large, lively island in Dhaalu Atoll, about 30–35 minutes by domestic flight from Velana International Airport to Dhaalu airport followed by a short speedboat ride, or by seaplane; we come to you by boat from the Dhaalu side. The island stretches roughly three kilometres with a long beach, a wide lagoon, beach villas and rooms, and a line of overwater villas, all styled in a bright, contemporary way. Its size and activity-led atmosphere suit families, groups, and couples who want colour and energy.
