What we love

We believe there is no closer accommodation to take off zone in the world and you barely have to walk 30 meters from your villa to the paddle out poin

Manta rays, whale sharks, turtles and other rare species of marine life are commonly found among Kandooma Maldives’ home reefs

Range of accomodation all built around the edge of or on the water, providing more than enough paradise for guests to enjoy relaxed seclusion and privacy

How far is Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma Maldives from Male Airport?

Kandooma Surf Resort is located in the Maldives’ stunning South Male Atoll, just a 45 minute boat ride from the capital Male, but secluded enough to feel as though you’ve landed on a remote Island getaway.

How to get to Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma Maldives?
Velana International Airport in Male (MLE) is the gateway airport to the Maldives. The airport is well connected with major airports around the world – London, Moscow, Dubai, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and many more. Once you arrive in Male, the representative will transfer you to the speedboat which will take you to Kandooma Resort.

Do you need a visa for Maldives?
Tourist visa is granted for all nationalities on arrival to the Maldives. As such, a foreigner travelling to Maldives as a tourist does not require pre-approval for the visa. However, the person must satisfy the basic entry requirements to get immigration clearance upon arrival. Please refer to https://www.immigration.gov.mv/tourist-visa/

Which area is best to stay in Maldives?
If you are a surfer, North/South Male Atoll, Central Atolls of Laamu or Dhaalu and Southern Atolls (Gaafu Dhaalu) offer the best conditions for surfing. Ask your Perfect Wave consultant for advice depending on the months you want to travel.

Do you need cash in Maldives?
You’ll be able to use your credit card when staying at a resort such as Kandooma, however, bring some USD (new notes) for incidentals, tips and random costs at the airport.

What is the best currency to take to Maldives?
The currency of the Maldives is the Rufiyaa. However, for visitors, USD is the currency of choice. You might need some cash with you for incidentals. Local ATMs only provide local currency, so are not useful for you to withdraw money for payments on the boat. Everywhere in the Maldives you can pay with USD so bring some with you. Once you are in the country, you will not be able to exchange foreign currency for USD.
