Christmas at Canareef – An Authentic and Adventurous Island Experience🩵🐠🪸

31 Dec 2024
I spent Christmas 2023 at Canareef Resort, and overall, it was a beautiful and memorable stay. The resort has a special charm, with friendly staff, well-kept facilities, and a peaceful atmosphere. Everything during my stay went smoothly, and the service was excellent. The bungalows are all very nice and well distributed across the island – comfortable and cozy, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. One of the unique parts of Canareef is the ability to bike around the island, even to a nearby local island, which really adds a cultural and adventurous touch. The massages were a lovely extra, and the diving experience was the absolute highlight. The dive team is made up of locals from the island – knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate. It felt authentic and very personal. That said, I think the experience at Canareef really depends on what you’re looking for. In my case, I wouldn’t recommend it as a romantic getaway or for families with small children. The beaches, while beautiful, require water shoes as some areas are covered in coral and others in seagrass (not seaweed). So it’s not the classic postcard-perfect Maldives beach everywhere. For adventurers, divers, and those seeking a more genuine Maldivian experience, Canareef is a fantastic option. It’s a bit remote and more off the beaten path, but that’s part of its charm. If you’re looking for something real and different, it’s definitely worth visiting.

Great experiences during the visit at Canareef

30 Apr 2025
I spent a lot of time at different resorts in the Maldives, and Canareef really gave me a unique experience. The ambiance was amazing, and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. They were so polite, humble, and dedicated to their work. I can’t thank the team of Canareef enough for giving me such a memorable resort experience!

Great resort

30 Apr 2025
It is a long journey- for us from the uk it was 3 flights and one boat ride- but well worth it once you arrive. The resort is beautiful and is spread over a huge area, you get about mainly by bike or the resort buggies. I was worried about the buggies due to all the negative comments about how long you had to wait, but we had no issues. Sometimes we had to wait 10 mins but mostly buggies arrived within minutes. We got some bikes- the saddles were so uncomfortable and the bikes weren’t in great condition but it was fun to cycle around the island. The main pool area is gorgeous, the pool is huge and clean, the bar service is really good and the staff were always nearby if you wanted to order drinks. There are enough loungers so no need to get up early to get a good spot- most loungers were moved into the shade anyway as it was too hot to lie out in the sun all day. The food was great, but not amazing - disappointed there was hardly any fresh fruit and salad was a bit limited. But generally we enjoyed our meals. We had lunch at Bar-Kuda a few times - this was an extra cost as we were all inclusive but prices were very good and the food was good. The beach and bar area at Bar-kuda was great and snorkeling was fantastic- lots to see without swimming out too far- we took our own snorkels which I would recommend- also take wet/beach shoes to protect your feet. The rooms were lovely, really big and kept clean but a little tired in places. The outdoor shower was a novelty! Overall this is a fantastic resort, the staff are amazing and very friendly - big thank you to Nasrulla in the main restaurant who looked after us every meal and to the lovely staff at Dhoni bar who were all fantastic.

Amazing family holiday.

30 Apr 2025
We have just come back from 10 days at Canareef. Having read some reviews I was a little apprehensive that my 2 children (11 and 13) would not enjoy it as much so I wanted to write a review for people looking to go. Food: plenty to eat- a few days my fussy child wasn’t over keen but she always found something. There isn’t chips / wedges everyday but actually this meant she tried other foods and we all found new foods we liked. Restaurant: the buffet restaurant is lovely with live music some evenings. We sat in each part but within a few days always sat in the side where the bar is- Salih is amazing and a fantastic waiter. Within a day he knew our drinks order and it was on the table by the time we wanted to sit down. Buggies: the buggies are brilliant! Transport all over the island with just a phone call. Yes sometimes you may have to wait for a free buggy at busy times (dinner was the busiest) but we waited no more than 10 minutes. Some people were so rude about waiting- but they didn’t want to walk so they should just appreciate the free transport! Bikes: they’re free to use and ideal for getting around! Are they amazing condition? Nope- but they’re free and if you have a problem they sort it for you. Rooms: we had a 600 room, with 2 extra beds in there for our children we still found the rooms spacious and it was cleaned every day. The guy then came back every evening to give new beach and room towels. Beach bar: lovely cold drinks, we didn’t order food here as we were all inclusive but we didn’t have milkshakes and wedges one lunch and it was nice. The snorkelling was brilliant and my kids loved it! Each pool and the beach bar have plenty of beds and you can get towels there if you don’t want to take them from the room. All the staff are friendly and nothing is too much for them. A highlight was the daily fish feeding- it was brilliant. Thank you Canareef for giving us a truly once in a lifetime holiday- memories to last a lifetime.

Tripadvisor Overview

Located in the southern-most atoll of the Maldives, Addu – a recently declared UNESCO biosphere reserve, Canareef Resort Maldives can be reached by domestic flight across the equator from Male’ International Airport to Gan Airport or a direct flight to Gan International Airport via selected airlines, and a 10-minute speedboat ride. Surrounded by turquoise waters, freshwater lakes, mangroves and unspoiled nature, the island flaunts its own private picnic island and one of the longest beaches in the Maldives and is the only resort in the country with direct access to a local island on foot via a connecting bridge. Home to 271 spacious beach villas sprawled across a 4.5 km stretch of coastline, each accommodation offers open-air bathrooms and an inviting patio, guaranteeing views of either the lagoon or the expansive Indian Ocean.
