From the very first moment, we arrived at the airport and met the Kandolhu team until our departure. Every detail of our stay was flawlessly orchestrated to create an exceptional experience. Though we stayed for only three nights, the warmth, professionalism, and excellence of the team made it truly unforgettable. Location: The journey itself is part of the magic—just a 20-minute scenic seaplane flight followed by a short 5-10 minute boat ride that transports you to this paradise. The Island: Small, serene, and breathtakingly beautiful, Kandolhu is the epitome of a private island retreat. The Resort: Thoughtfully designed with just 30 villas, the property balances exclusivity and comfort. It offers five outstanding restaurants, a stylish bar, a well-equipped gym, a serene spa, and a sea activities center—ensuring that every guest finds their own perfect way to unwind. Our Villa: We chose an overwater villa, and it exceeded all expectations. With a private pool and direct sea access, it provided the perfect blend of luxury and tranquillity. Staff & Service: The essence of true hospitality is mastered here. The team anticipated our needs before we even realized them, creating a seamless, highly personalized experience. Their warmth and attention to detail set a new benchmark for excellence. Dining: A standing ovation to the executive chef, sous-chefs, and the entire culinary team. The food was fresh, inventive, and packed with flavour. With five distinct restaurants—offering Mexican-Peruvian, Mediterranean, Japanese, Sea Grill, and an all-day dining option—every meal was a delightful journey of taste. Spa: We had the 'couple ritual'. A sanctuary of relaxation, the spa at Kandolhu offers a truly rejuvenating experience. With expert therapists, soothing treatments, and a tranquil setting, every session feels like a retreat within a retreat—perfect for unwinding and embracing the island’s serenity. Housekeeping: Impeccable.

I like the location in the center..near to the rooms and also to the see

Beautiful hotel at the beach on a calm local island. Staff are incredible nice and there is variety of tours available, so there is no chance to get bored. Snorkeling with mantas, turtles, fishing...you can do anything. SUP rental was available too and it was great to paddle around. Akeyz is very attentive and ready to help. There is a roof top restaurant and they also serve delicious coffee. Thank you for beautiful memories :-)

I had an amazing experience at Splendour Grand – honestly, it was even better than the resorts I’ve visited in the Maldives. The staff were extremely helpful and always ready to assist with anything. There were plenty of fun activities to enjoy, the food was delicious, and the beach was absolutely beautiful. What made it even more special is that you can often find yourself enjoying the beach all to yourself, and if you ever need a hand, everyone is there to support each other. Truly a perfect stay – I highly recommend it!

Staying in this accomodation was a great experience: from the spacious, clean and well equipped room, courtesy of the owner and his family, delicious food that his wife prepares and overall feeling of beeing welcomed to the Maldives :) It was everything that we hoped and more. They really make effort for their guests to have the best experience possible.

This was by far our best holiday ever! We stayed at Escapism Maldives for 8 days and we wish we could have stayed longer. The room was very spacious and cosy, with a huge, modern bathroom with a walk in shower and a little outside space perfect for drying wet swimsuits and clothes.The room was cleaned daily and we had fresh bath and beach towels every day. Shuhad and Junaid, the brothers who own the guest house did everything to make our stay special and relaxed. They helped us organising everything beginning from transfers to and from the island, excursions and even organised us some local fruit we wanted to try. They also own a nearby restaurant- AMBAA cafe & bistro and the food and mocktails they serve are absolutely amazing and reasonably priced. The island itself is stunning with lots of greenery and lovely for evening walks plus it has an amazing bikini beach located about 5 minutes walk from the guesthouse and a beautiful reef with plenty of marine life to admire. Very highly recommend visiting Feridhoo Island and staying at Escapism Maldives to everyone! 🌞😊

Reasonable price, very good cost performance, highly recommended, will choose to stay here again next time.

Lovely twin suites shared with son and partner. Superb food and the staff were exceptional throughout our trip. Also superb value for money.

Everything was perfect, and I couldn't get anything more for the last stop of my honeymoon. When I said goodbye at my departure, I was already thinking about when to come back.
