In this photo gallery of Kandolhu Maldives, I share our images of a resort that combines boutique luxury with one of the best house reefs in the Maldives.
Kandolhu is also one of the best resorts for snorkeling we have experienced with vibrant marine life just a few meters from the beach.
Kandolhu Maldives is a picture-perfect island, home to some of the most sensational snorkeling experiences in the Maldives. Elegant, typical Maldivian and laidback, this idylic small luxury resort will suit honeymooners and travellers seeking for quietness and great underwater adventures.

About Kandolhu Maldives
Tiny and intimate, Kandolhu is nestled like a precious gem in North Ari Atoll. This small luxury boutique resort is where refined villas meet intimacy, soft white sands, and an extraordinary snorkeling directly from the shore.
The resort blends Maldivian charm with contemporary elegance across just 30 villas, creating a private and peaceful atmosphere. Each villa is thoughtfully positioned for privacy, whether located on the beach or overwater.
Despite its size, Kandolhu offers an exceptional dining experience with five gourmet restaurants, a beach bar and a spa. The island’s size makes it easy to explore on foot or by simply swimming out to the vibrant house reef, we consider one of the best in the Maldives.
Kandolhu Photo Gallery
In this collection, we focused on aerial views to showcase Kandolhu’s stunning beauty — its round shape and the house reef that completely encircles the island with dramatic drop-offs. You’ll also find images of the water villas, beach villas, the spa, pristine beaches, and dining spots.
Each photo reflects the true beauty of this unique and dreamy boutique resort.
