Club Med Kani & The Finolhu Villas

Kids' club & childcare
Kids’ club listed: 4+. Club Med Kani is the family-oriented side; The Finolhu Villas are quieter and more luxury-focused, while guests can access Kani facilities. Confirm supervision and drop-off rules.
Room service

Club Med Kani & The Finolhu Villas

Highlights

  • Finolhu Villas overwater experience

  • Trapeze and circus school

Why choose it

Keep in mind
