Memorable trip
30 Jun 2026
We had an amazing stay at Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma. The resort was beautiful and peaceful and our stay was both relaxing and comfortable. We only wish we could have stayed longer! A special thank you to Bala, who looked after us so well every morning at breakfast. His warm hospitality and attentive service made every day start on a wonderful note. We’d also like to thank Jennifer, who was incredibly kind and friendly to our children. Thank you to the entire team for making our holiday so memorable. We left with wonderful memories and were genuinely sad to head home. We hope to return again someday!

Wonderful Family Time!

We had an absolutely wonderful holiday at the IHG Kandooma Maldives. It had everything a family traveling with us could need. There were a host of water sports, free snorkeling, and free diving (if you stay for three nights). We also enjoyed the free kayaking. There were numerous dining options, and Mr. Ravindra at the restaurants took wonderful care of us throughout the trip. The entire staff was very attentive and friendly.

Our room cleaner, Naseeh from IHG is the nicest and friendliest person you’ll meet. He’s also very good at what he does and a bit too humble. I wanted to make this review so his hard work doesn’t go unnoticed. Naseeh ensures a nice, clean and tidy room. Thank you
Tripadvisor Overview
Our contemporary resort is a tropical wonderland, located just a 40 minutes speedboat ride from Velana International Airport Malé. Featuring world-class diving sites and surfing on our doorstep, our spacious villas are dotted around the island and appeal to a wide variety of guests, offering access to the beach, ocean or lagoon. For families, the two- and three-bedroom villas offer ample space for fun and relaxation as you discover Kandooma. Parents can introduce the kids to the thrill of island life through activities such as PADI Bubblemaker, Surf Camps, swimming lessons, and best of all, the Kandoo Kids' Club with a daily activities plan. Along with Holiday Inn®'s "Kids Stay and Eat Free" programme, we provide a tropical adventure that the family will always remember fondly. Six restaurants & bars offer a range of culinary delights for your dining pleasure with themed evenings and private dining options to enhance your stay.
Our ATOL number is T7365 and your protection begins as soon as you’re booked. If a supplier fails, you’ll get your money back, and you can’t get stranded abroad because ATOL ensures you’re brought home at no extra cost.
Payments safeguarded in a Trust Account
The airline is paid when you book and the rest of your payments are held in a trust account, which is controlled by the Travel Trust Association. This is much safer than an ABTA bond, because your money can only be released to pay the suppliers for each element of your holiday, and and your ATOL protection safeguards the whole holiday. Our TTA membership number is U7488.
