Club Med Kani & The Finolhu Villas

Highlights

  • Finolhu Villas overwater experience
  • PADI 5-star dive center
  • Trapeze and circus school
  • Eco-snorkeling excursions

Why choose it

  • Strong all-inclusive structure with meals, drinks, sports, activities, and entertainment.
  • Useful dual-island fit: family energy at Kani and quieter villa luxury at Finolhu.
  • Excellent snorkeling and non-motorized water-sports profile.
  • Convenient 30-minute speedboat access from Malé.

Keep in mind

  • The combined experience is not a single quiet private-island product; Kani can feel lively and social.
  • Some water sports, scuba, excursions, spa treatments, and transfers cost extra.
  • Travelers seeking adults-only quiet should prioritize Finolhu and avoid treating Kani as the main fit.
  • Checkout extras and transfer charges require careful review before departure.
