Kani Maldives

I spent an amazing eight days in Kani.

The entire experience was perfect from start to finish. The beach, activities, dining, and service were all excellent. Although the room was slightly dated, it was very well maintained and kept impeccably clean throughout my stay. Most importantly, the entire GO and GE team were absolutely outstanding and ensured I had a wonderful time.

Many thanks to Isla for a smooth and very friendly arrival process, and for remaining attentive throughout my stay.

The dining experience was flawless. The food selection was varied, and every meal was consistently delicious. The service was a true highlight, with the staff always attentive and warm. My sincere thanks to Mahen, Manu, Saji Kumar, and their teams.

The teams in both bars were likewise excellent. In particular, Kawser, Ashley, and Lia not only prepared great drinks but always made time for a pleasant conversation.

All sports activities were very well managed by Yousri, Hugo, and their teams. Hugo, who had just started during my stay, was always present, welcoming, and friendly, ensuring everyone enjoyed themselves.

I thoroughly enjoyed all the beach activities, which were well organised. The water sports team—Shuau, Omar, Ricky, and Anadou—were consistently friendly and professional. The armada sailing trip was a real highlight; despite the more challenging conditions, it was exceptionally well managed.

The daily snorkeling excursions were excellent. The marine life around the island is rich and diverse, and the whole team ensured every trip was a memorable experience. Thank you to Natsumi, Celine, Roman, Oumar, and Yoe for so many wonderful moments and for your professionalism.
It was also nice to combine the snorkeling with Sharon’s informative and insightful lecture and underwater coral excursion.

The evening program was well organised. The animation and acrobatics teams delivered an entertaining show every night. Baris, the head of animation, was always present, ensuring the great atmosphere continued throughout each evening.

Throughout my stay, Ragab and his entire GO team remained highly professional, welcoming, and friendly, without ever being intrusive. Many thanks to Oksana, Elena, Diana, Ciara, Karin, Celine, Demi, Fafa, Cheryl, Stepan, Alexey, Moosa, and Roman for their attention, enthusiasm, the fun moments, and for making sure I had an amazing time.

Last but certainly not least, special thanks to Natsumi, Ciara, and Baris for so many wonderful moments. It was a pleasure meeting you in Kani—and reuniting with Ciara and Baris after Seychelles. Your professionalism, kindness, and attentiveness truly made my holiday unforgettable.

Overall, it was another excellent experience with Club Med, and I will certainly consider returning to Kani in the future.

Perfect 8 days in paradise, such a beautiful location.
10/10 for the Euro-divers team, special thanks to Minnie and Betty, they're absolutely lovely and we had a great time diving with them.
The food was delicious. I have quite some allergies, but Saji was so helpful and guided me through the buffet for every meal being extra careful with my food. Outstanding experience for me, as this doesn't happen in many resorts.
Thank you to Hatab for the morning walks as well as his great company, was lovely meeting you!
Go see Ramon for snorkeling, he is so enthusiastic and clearly loves the coral and what he does, loved our snorkeling experience with him even if the weather wasn't to great that day.
Overall big thanks to the whole Manta staff, housekeeping was perfect, requests were quick to be resolved and the bar staff was lovely. Highly recommend the suites, they are very much worth it with amazing facilities and gorgeous views.
10/10 for the whole stay, we hope to be back soon!

This was the first ever club med experience for our family. It was AMAZING!

I have heard all the great stuff about club med from friends and family.. but having been there to experience it with my family, I have to say that it definitely exceeded my expectations!

We travelled with 3 kids (7, 11 and 13 yo). The youngest was in the Mini Club and the staffs were superb - Fatima, Ali, Elena, Emma and Myde. I dont know how they cope with all the kids but they did a great job. My kid kept on asking to return to the Mini Club to play. There were so many activities for the kids - trapeze, baking, art and craft, swimming, sailing, pedal boat, slip and slide, sandcastle building and even snokerling.

For the older kids, they were in the Teens club with JB. He was really good at entertaining the teens.. with all the games, jokes, pool games and snokerling.

A big shout out to the CIRCUS Team - Appt, Cheryl, Hendry, Nana and Daniel. They were amazing. Our family bonded so well during the one week stay.. from trapeze sessions to meal times and even dancing and partying together at night. Many times I have failed trying to do the various poses .. but they were all very patient and kept on encouraging us. We have learnt many new tricks on the trapeze from them.. and we hope to meet them again in the future ..

Snokerling just by the resort was amazing.. lots of fishes among the corals. Much better on the beach by Kandu rather than the jetty side. We were lucky to see nurse sharks and even a ray while snokerling there. If you don't see them, just go at night when the party is at Iru Bar.. the nurse sharks will also come up all the way by the Bar.

We went on a private boat for the excursion - nurse shark and sea life. It was expensive but worth the money spent. There were so many sea creatures - sharks, stingrays, fishes, eels and we even managed to see a sea turtle! Our guide was Hasanbe - we struggled to take any photos or video but he did it all for us - capturing all the beautiful creatures. Bring a phone with lots of storage space and battery!

Food.. plenty plenty plenty. We were at Veli for almost all our meals with the GOs. Widespread of selection of food and deserts. The chef even went thru the trouble to make my son Carbonara for his bday dinner. Our waiter (Shifzan) was superb - always asking if there is anything that we need.

Our favourite bartender was Ashley. She was always making my son's favourite chocolate milkshake and her special cocktail was good.

We even took a quick photoshoot with David at club med. He was professional and friendly - making the shoot fun and easy especially with kids.

The downside to the resort is there were plenty of mosquitoes. Kids had quite a number of bites despite using insect repellent. Told the GM Ragab about the issue and he actually got pest control to sort it out. It was so much better after that. Many thanks for taking our feedback seriously. Do bring lots of insects repellent.

We were initially worried that 8 days on one island is slightly too long.. but there were so many things to do there. You will never be bored. We were in tears when we left the island but we hope to meet the GOs again someday in other club med!

This was definitely the best beach holiday ever for my family. Club Med Kani far exceeded my expectations from the lovely weather, warm seas and the abundance of sea life!

The staff were warm and full of energy. Kudos to you guys for keeping my kids (pre-teen and teens) entertained from morning till night. All of my kids were ever so reluctant to leave as they had really bonded with the GOs and the other kids there.

A huge shoutout to the circus team (Cheryl, Appy, Hendri and Nana) who were ever so professional. All of us felt so safe in your hands and were confident to fly and perform tricks under your guidance. Not only that, these amazing bunch of people were so easygoing that everyday felt like we were just hanging out with a bunch of friends. You guys made what would have been a wonderful trip into an amazing trip! You guys are definitely the stars of Club Med Kani. We will definitely miss you guys and we sincerely hope that we will bump into each other again in the future!

A huge thanks to the GOs (Emma, Elena, Myde, Ali, JB) from the Mini Club and Teen Club who could keep the kids entertained and never bored. Also to the bartender Ashley for the unlimited chocolate milkshakes and her bartender's special!
