The Maldives is home to thriving underwater ecosystems, and Kandima Maldives puts you right at the heart of it. The coral reefs surrounding our island (desti)nation are teeming with colour and marine life, from schools of electric-hued fish to gliding rays and the occasional turtle passing through. Whether you’re new to snorkelling or an experienced diver, the underwater world here offers something genuinely exciting, just a short splash from shore.
At Kandima, we take ocean protection seriously through reef-safe practices, mindful choices, and experiences that connect you to the marine world.
Float into a World of Underwater Wonder
At Kandima, snorkelling is your front-row ticket to the underwater show. Whether you're just starting out with a snorkelling lesson or diving straight into the action on our house reef, every moment is packed with wow. Glide over coral gardens bursting with colours and keep your eyes peeled for the stars of the sea on our Turtle Quest. It’s vibrant, unforgettable and totally your kind of underwater adventure.
Your Gateway to the Deep Blue
For those ready to go deeper, Kandima’s got the ultimate underwater playground. Located in Dhaalu Atoll, our location offers epic access to some of the country’s most breathtaking dive sites. Whether you're suiting up for your first-ever dive or levelling up with advanced certifications, our dive centre has courses tailored to every skill level. With an abundance of marine life and coral-covered walls waiting below the surface, diving at Kandima is anything but ordinary.
Your Coral, Your Contribution
At Kandima, sustainability is part of everything we do. Our coral adoption programme invites guests to support reef restoration by adopting a coral frame and tracking its growth online. Launched in 2017, this ongoing initiative helps nurture marine life and protect the vibrant underwater world around us.
Stay Close to the Blue, Your Way
If diving or snorkelling isn’t your vibe (yet), no worries. Kick back in one of our seriously wow-worthy villas and stay connected to the water your way. Chill above the lagoon in an Ocean Pool Villa or go ultra-luxe with a Sunset Aqua Pool Suite, where endless views and private pools take centre stage. For those who prefer the luxury of sun, sand and sea, the Sunset Beach Pool Villa with Swirl Pool puts you just steps away from the shore. Whether you're making a splash or just soaking it all in, your kind of island escape starts right here at Kandima.
