CONSIDER US YOUR SMALL SECRET

Kandolhu is a secret kept by the North Ari Atoll. A sanctuary of remote beauty encircled by a living reef, it offers a rare sense of seclusion. Lose your shoes, lose the schedule, and return to the essential. It won’t take long before the island feels like yours.

FAQs
A few helpful details before you arrive.
Where is Kandolhu Maldives located?
Kandolhu Maldives is tucked away in the North Ari Atoll, around 70 kilometres south-west of Malé.
Kandolhu measures just 150 by 200 metres. Small enough to walk around in a few minutes, and for everything to feel wonderfully close.
The Maldives enjoys a warm tropical climate and plenty of sunshine throughout the year. December to April generally falls within the northeast monsoon, while the southwest monsoon from May to November typically brings more rainfall.
Yes. Kandolhu welcomes children aged eight years and above. Our small island and intimate atmosphere mean we are unable to accommodate children under eight.
Not much. There is no need to change money into Maldivian currency for your stay. Extras at the resort can be charged to your villa and settled during your stay or on departure.
