Kani MALDIVES

Amazing holidays. And specific tribute to Christine. Her yoga classes were a piece of art of relaxation, well being and joy. She is so professional, kind and generous. And a big thank you to Patrick and Thomas who organized a magic afternoon on a catamaran, the best time in family in the whole trip. Dolphins,
manta ray and the most beautiful snorkeling ever with Mouna on boat. Perfection. Can’t wait to be back !

If you think you’re ‘not the type’ for all-inclusive resorts, think again. Kani might just change your mind.

I don’t normally do beach holidays or all-inclusive, and I’d never been to a Club Med before, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. But this turned out to be one of the best holidays I’ve had.

The setting is hard to beat: Kani really is paradise, with turquoise sea and white sand. The accommodation isn’t the height of chic, but it works perfectly with the setting—certainly not the tents-on-a-beach of Club Med’s early days. Comfortable, practical, and exactly what you need here.

The atmosphere is what really makes it. It feels like staying with family or friends—only better, because instead of arguing over who gets the last olive or the middle seat on the plane, everyone’s focused on making sure you have a great time. I liked that the staff eat the same food, join in the activities, and socialise. It avoids that “them and us” feel you sometimes get at resorts and makes it feel much more genuine.

Food was excellent—fresh, plentiful, and genuinely high quality. Highlights for me were the tuna ceviche and the curries. The White Parties are like a celebrity wedding, and yes, there are daily crêpes at the bar.

There’s loads to do. Sailing and snorkelling were highlights (tip: bring your own snorkel gear, the shop has them but they’re pricey). Yoga with Christina was great. Nightlife is fun but never forced. The island may be small but there’s plenty of space to find some peace and quiet if you want it.

My daughter (13) and I did our Open Water PADI course through Euro Divers while we were here—very professional, and I’ll leave a separate review for them, but if you’ve ever wanted to learn to dive, this is the place.

We were lucky with the weather: despite it being rainy season, we had 12 good days out of 14. Not too humid at night either.

A few staff who really made the trip special:
• Rageb, the GM, who was always present and quick to credit his team.
• Anaïs and Yousri, great managers.
• Taz and Enes in the restaurant, who went above and beyond.
• Roman and Liam on the beach.
• Demi and Sammy, also fantastic.

All in all, Club Med Kani manages to combine a stunning location, great food, and a genuinely friendly, inclusive atmosphere. I’d go back without hesitation.

This was our second trip to Maldives traveling with 2 small kids and stayed in Kani for 4 days. We had an amazing time and everyone at the resort was very kind and really took care of us. The kids really enjoyed all the activities and the time just flew by.

Special shout out to the head chef and the team who were very accommodating to our dietary preferences.

As other reviewers have mentioned, the rooms do feel a little outdated but since we were out most of the time, it didn't really bother us.

Highly recommend this place especially if you are traveling with kids!

We spent 10 days at Kani, and had a fantastic experience. The GO team made it unforgettable, especially Hatab, Roman - they bring so much energy to the resort.
Hamza is the restaurant made our stay especially memorable, he was so helpful and professional!
