Forget traditional luxury, Kandima values the perfect balance between being respectful to guests, community and culture and having a playful soul, creating authentic Maldivian experiences.

So, what’s better than a beach villa? A beach villa with a private jacuzzi. Set right on the white sand, step out onto the beach and wander into the azure lagoon that is your front yard.
