Atmosphere Kanifushi Maldives

The spectacular flight into the resort really set the tone for our whole trip. We had a warm greeting from the staff, where we met our wonderful host Nihad. He gave us a tour of the island and the luxury facilities, explained where we go and what was on offer. He was so kind, friendly, funny and nothing was ever a problem and he kept us up to date with what activities were on each day. We stayed in the over water sunset Villa with pool and that was a real treat, which had amazing snorkeling right off the verandah. We were lucky enough to see a turtle while snorkeling one afternoon and was surprised by the amount and variety of fish. Daily snorkeling is a great option and sunset cruise is another highlight. The best coral we saw was off the end of the jetty. Just Veg had the most amazing vegetation food that we went back for more (and we aren't even vegetarians) and well worth a visit. Pier Six was a favourite for breakfast and served the most delicious seafood for dinner, where Niraj gave exemplary service, he was attentive, friendly and funny. We enjoyed the variety at Spice with different themed buffets each evening. We really enjoyed the option of an adult's only pool that you are able to laze by with a drink and walk down to the beach for a swim. There are shuttles every 15 minutes to take you around the island if you don't feel like walking. Mohammed Ali was a wonderful shuttle driver, who we had such a pleasure getting to know, he had a warm friendly smile each time he picked us up and was always happy to chat with us. I would like to thank Ajid, the mini bar attendant who looked after the beach Villas. He saw us walking to The Lantern bar and went out of his way to offer us a ride. He was so kind and warm and we were really grateful for his thoughtfulness. The staff at the resort are amazing and getting to know them really enriched our stay. This trip has always been a dream of mine and exceeded all expectations. I was not prepared for the beauty of the Maldives and made even better by the facilities and people there. I will truly treasure this experience. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Best luxury resort. Stayed in over water villas which was very spacious with upscale amenities and provided upmost privacy. Resort provides dedicated guest experience officer for smooth and comfortable stay. Staff provides upmost customer care at personal level right from arrival at male airport till time of check out. Resort has many restaurants which are part of all inclusive plan. Spice buffet restaurants serves different cuisines everyday and food is of good quality and taste. Shuttle service is big plus to explore nature on this white sand island. Resort provides Daily excursions and activities which makes family vacation memorable. Oceanix staff is excellent and provides water sport activities with upmost safety. Would say one of best resort experience I ever had after staying in different resorts.

We stayed at Atmosphere Kanifushi for 10 nights in December for our honeymoon. The service, food and activities throughout our stay were all amazing. We were made to feel so special and welcome and the attention to detail meant that everything was taken care of and we were free to enjoy ourselves. Our guide, Nihad, really looked after us and made it easy to plan our stay and make sure we had everything we needed. We stayed in a water villa (sunrise side, no pool) which was so so beautiful and always looked perfect thanks to our housekeeper, Sujina. The quality of food at all the restaurants was fantastic (including the buffet at Spice) and it was definitely worth trying them all (including the Teppinyaki which was a fun experience worth paying for). The buggies were a good way to get around and we also enjoyed using the bikes (we had our bikes taken a couple of times which was quickly fixed by the staff, but we did think giving the guests bike locks would stop this from happening). We did get a couple of days of rain but the staff put on some extra activities like a cocktail making class which we enjoyed so it didn't affect our trip too negatively. The free daily activities were a perfect opportunity to see some of the amazing wildlife around the island and they also offer paid excursions if there's something specific you want to see e.g. snorkeling with turtles (although sighting isn't 100% guaranteed). Overall, it was a very special and memorable honeymoon and we are so happy we chose Kanifushi!
