Kasanfaru Island Holidays from AU$2,429

The staff were exceptionally helpful and welcoming, and I found the lobby both spacious and comfortable. However, the hotel uses a very strong air freshener with a scent that I found quite bothersome. While our standard room (606) was small, it remained cozy. That said, the bathroom was very cramped, and some of the fixtures did not work properly. The breakfast was adequate, but quality could be better.

It is an amazing resort, and I was lucky enough to spend my birthday there. From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive, which made our stay truly special. We were especially impressed by Maniuu, who looked after us throughout our stay and made sure everything was perfect. We absolutely loved the sound and healing session overlooking the beach with the wonderful June – it was such a peaceful and unique experience. All of the restaurant staff were very friendly and welcoming, and the food was consistently good with great variety. The marine life around the resort is incredible. We saw sharks, many beautiful fish, and even manta rays, which was an unforgettable experience. The surroundings are simply stunning. We stayed in an overwater bungalow, which was fantastic – amazing views, a spacious and comfortable room, and the nets overlooking the ocean were my favourite spot to lie back, relax, and enjoy the scenery. I also received a birthday cake, which was not only delicious but such a thoughtful and lovely gesture. I truly felt spoiled. During our stay, we also took part in art classes with an amazing artist. I was genuinely surprised by how unhurried and detailed the experience was – he was incredibly patient, explained everything step by step, and we came away with a beautiful keepsake to remember our time there. We also enjoyed a lovely sunset cruise, which was the perfect way to end our days. Overall, it was a beautiful, memor

The restaurants (not the buffet) had delicious food. The breakfast buffet was also very good. There were a couple common drinks not available to order and I thought the swimming at the over water villas should be open the same time as the pool. The transport there and back was a bit pricey. Everyone was friendly and the excursion we did was great. We also enjoyed the music at the dance parties.

Ideal location if you don’t like sea planes. A quick luxury speed boat from Male and we were at the resort, Absolutely amazing staff!! Warm and welcoming.
