5 Reasons Why Club Med Kani in the Maldives Should Be on Your Wish List

With the arrival of a new year comes the excitement of fresh experiences, and for many, that means exploring new destinations. If travel is at the top of your wish list, we’ve found the ultimate escape for your next adventure—Club Med Kani in the Maldives. Located just a 30-minute boat ride from Velana International Airport, this island offer a slice of paradise like no other. We recently had the opportunity to explore this beautiful location, and here are five reasons why the all-inclusive resort should be on your travel radar in 2025. 

 

1. Picturesque beaches 

One of the main appeals of Club Med Kani is its direct access to pristine beaches. Kanifinolhu boasts a two-kilometre stretch of sand, where you can unwind, enjoy the gentle waves, and bask in the sun’s warmth. For the adventurous, the crystal-clear waters open up a world of exploration, with sailing, kayaking, and wakeboarding all at your fingertips.

 

2. A feast of diverse flavours 

At Club Med Kani, food isn’t just a meal—it’s a journey with various choices to suit every taste. The Velhi, the resort’s main restaurant, pairs breathtaking beach views with a buffet of international flavours, ranging from classic European favourites to authentic Maldivian dishes. Missed a meal? No problem. The newly renovated Kandu offers a tempting à la carte menu that’s sure to hit the spot. When hunger strikes in between meals, Kani Kravings, the poolside food truck, serves a selection of mouthwatering hot and cold finger foods that are perfect for snacking at any time. 

 

3. Action-packed fun for the little ones 

The fun doesn’t stop with the adults! The Mini Club Med+ offers children aged four to ten a vibrant mix of beach games, cooking classes, and even flying trapeze. For teenagers aged 11 to 17, there’s a wide range of activities, including creative workshops and exclusive evening events like the outdoor Olympics. The best part? They have the freedom to curate their own experiences, finding the right balance between adventure and relaxation.

 

4. Warm and welcoming rooms

The right room can make or break your travel experience and Club Med Kani has a selection of rooms to ensure your stay is nothing short of exceptional. Choose from rooms with panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows that frame sweeping ocean views or minimalist interiors with calming turquoise and coral accents, where each space mirrors the island’s natural beauty. 

For a truly elevated stay, the Manta Exclusive Collection features 75 overwater suites, including 37 family-friendly options. Each suite comes with a fully stocked minibar, turndown service, and an in-room exercise kit. Plus, guests can enjoy access to a private beach, a beachfront bar, and an exclusive overwater lounge.

 

5. A driving force in sustainability

Sustainability runs through every aspect of Club Med’s philosophy, and Club Med Kani takes this commitment to heart. The resort’s dedication to protecting its environment starts with its Gentle Organisers (G.O.s), a team of over 15,000 trained in sustainable practices. These G.O.s help bring eco-initiatives to life, inviting guests to engage in experiences like the guided Underwater Marine Trail, located just 50 metres from the beach. Here, guests can explore the intricacies of coral propagation while uncovering the thriving marine life below the surface. 

In an exciting development, Club Med Kani will unveil its new Marine Conservation Hub in 2025. This facility will provide guests with a deeper insight into the resort’s dedication to environmental sustainability and marine conservation through interactive exhibits, educational programmes and workshops hosted by Green G.O.s.
