We contacted the hotel and arrange for a speedboat to Maafushi. Upon Arrival, we are greeted by Mike at the pier. Mike automatically became our personal island guide. He even walk with us to the restaurant for late dinner as we reached the island pass 11. He also recommended affordable day trips by the hotel. The hotel provided day trips and excursions with reasonable price and great service.

Mike also show us around the island.

Even the staffs at the reception and restaurants are friendly and nice too. Rooms are clean althou there are some marks in the toilet.

Breakfast is simple. We are also allowed to swim in the swimming pool of Kaani Village Hotel.

Overall satisfied with the stay!

One of best hotels in this Maafushi. Great location . Not far from ferry . Breakfast need to be much better as I think is poor for this caliber of hotel. Also next to hotel happening contraction till late hours so noice was travelling to us. Also in from of our balcony was that happening so no view . If I will be on special trip like honeymoon then big big disappointment. Very luck I was just with friends and not really care much about view . Also not much time spend in room so ...
Hotel reception attached to attraction help desk which offering great trips must say . Good value for money and friendly staff . Really enjoy . Also a new Spanish girl there very friendly and full of energy . Great addition to Maafushi 😍
Bar offered on boat a new meters from ferry
Easy to get there and come back however on boat there pretty borring and nothing special so good for experience but to order 2nd drink you have to push yourself( on menu many items not available)
Would back to this place

We were all amazed at the stunningly beautiful colours of the water. It’s just like in the movies - deep rich blues and bright fresh azures. Our beachfront hotel was great. The island is 2km x 1km – quite small. Most days I took an early morning walk to explore the streets and fishing port. Always something new and interesting. I imagined the early African and Middle Eastern explorers stumbling across this archipelago and building their lives, homes and families, in paradise.

Kaani Hotel has great food. Staff are super helpful and friendly. Ask them to arrange a free beach lounger and they will reserve it at the beach for you. "Sister" hotel on island has a swimming pool you can use. Very important to guarantee that there is no construction happening next door because (Sept 18) I noticed some new buildings beginning nearby. The island provides a good choice of restaurants whereas the resort islands are limited.

Over the next few days we swam, snorkelled, rested, read, ate, and played cards. Travel buddy, Peter, even managed a couple of dives. It was pure heaven and I realized it he’s been a while since I had experienced such Utopia. It’s a peaceful euphoric feeling.

Maldives are a Muslim state. This means booze is illegal. But strangely enough you can catch a water taxi 500 meters off shore to a luxury launch where we supped our beers and cocktails.

On day 5 disaster struck. Birgit stepped into the water and onto a small stingray. The ray lashed out, struck her leg, and Birgit discovered pain like never before. Local hospital, then on to the Male hospital for 2 nights. This accident could have happened anywhere in the world but appears to be common in the Maldives.

Thankfully our brave Birgit recovered quickly. We were all gobsmacked by the care and compassion from our hotel staff. They even sent a helper to the mainland with Peter just to help with accommodation, taxis and food.
