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.
