Kaani Palm Beach in Maafushi Island

We had an absolutely amazing stay at Kaani Palm Beach! From the moment we arrived, everything was smooth and welcoming. The room was comfortable, clean, and the overall stay was just perfect.

A very special thank you to Anisur, who did a fantastic job arranging our candlelight dinner. The setup was beautiful and romantic, everything was perfectly arranged. And on top of that, he gave us a full surprise photoshoot 😂

Overall, it was an amazing experience, and we truly enjoyed every moment. Highly recommended!

Aircond not so cold
Simple breakfast
Guest arrangement to jetty need ti be improved

The room was clean and the balcony faced the sea, offering a wide, unobstructed view. Being on the 7th floor was very comfortable. The service was excellent; staff helped with luggage during both check-in and check-out. There was also an electric shuttle service, and the beach was right outside. There were even evening performances. We could request a packed breakfast for early morning excursions, though it was quite simple and didn't include drinks, which was a bit of an oversight.

Nice views from the balcony, clean room, nice facilities. Air conditioning unit was a little weak, but otherwise pleasant experience.

The room was absolutely satisfying – quite spacious with a large and comfortable double bed. The sea view from the balcony was excellent. The ground floor (G level) houses the restaurant, while what Trip.com calls the 'first floor' rooms (standard sea view rooms) are actually on the second floor. Deluxe sea view rooms, which are slightly more expensive, are on the third floor and above. The hotel guests are a mix of Europeans/Americans and Chinese. The front desk staff spoke English and I experienced no discrimination whatsoever. Some reviews mentioned that higher floors were given to Westerners, but perhaps they just booked a second-floor room to begin with. Actually, the second-floor rooms are also beautiful, perfectly level with the palm trees. Because Trip.com noted my booking as a 'first floor' room (which is actually the second floor, as the actual first floor is the 'G' level with only the restaurant and front desk, no rooms), I specifically requested a deluxe sea view room on a higher floor than the first, and I was given a room on the fifth floor with an amazing view. When arriving by speedboat, a dedicated staff member was there to pick us up. Although it was only about 200 meters, the hotel still used a golf cart for us and a three-wheeled vehicle for our luggage, delivering everything directly to our room after check-in. When departing, the front desk booked our speedboat tickets for us. The front desk manager personally saw us off to the golf cart and politely asked about our stay experience. The staff carried our luggage all the way to the boat. The service was truly superb.

On our first day, we went out to sea, and I left my underwear on the bed since I was wearing my swimsuit. When we returned, the room had been cleaned, and my pajamas and underwear were neatly folded and arranged on the bed. Because the room attendant was male, my daughter and I felt a bit embarrassed. For the following days, we put up the 'Do Not Disturb' sign, and after returning in the afternoon, we only requested fresh towels and water refills. The staff would still often ask if we needed our room cleaned – the service was truly outstanding.

The ground floor breakfast area has plenty of seating, and breakfast starts at 6:30 AM, which is perfect for not delaying our excursions. There's a wide variety of food, including egg pancakes and corn pancakes that cater to Chinese tastes. I didn't pre-book dinner, but there was a good selection, costing $20 per person, and cash payment was accepted. There are many island excursions available, offering plenty of deep-sea experiences and photo opportunities. All in all, my experience at Kaani Hotel on Maafushi Island was fantastic, and I highly recommend it.

This hotel is great, especially if you're traveling with friends or family. You can't go wrong choosing this one in Maafushi. The hygiene and facilities are excellent, and the environment is simply beautiful. The beach and swimming area are right downstairs. The food is pretty good too. Highly recommended.

awesome experience here, room itself was beautifully designed, quiet, and incredibly comfortable. The bed felt like sleeping on a cloud, and neatly folded towels to the subtle

Amazing selection of excursions, have speed boat transfer available, lovely staff right next to the beach! Will come back

I had a fantastic stay at Kaani Palm Beach. The room was spacious, well‑organized, and equipped with great facilities that made my visit very comfortable.

The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my stay. A special shout‑out to Kadir, who guided me in choosing the best beach activities, and Esha, who assisted with my transfer to another hotel. Their support truly made a difference, and I really appreciated their help.

I highly recommend this resort for anyone looking for comfort, excellent service, and a memorable experience.
