The Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma Maldives is encouraging visitors to embrace the essence of the holy month of Ramadan at their idyllic island location in the Indian Ocean. They are providing a range of great options for guests who are fasting or not, and various types of accommodations and dining experiences to choose from during the month of reflection, which is expected to occur between March 22nd and April 20th, 2023. Families can enjoy a variety of accommodation choices, including interconnected villas, 2-bedroom Beach Houses, the luxurious 2-bedroom Overwater Pavilion, and the recently opened 3-bedroom Kandooma Beach Pool Villa.

“Our island offers a great degree of privacy for guests whether they choose to stay on the water in one of our popular Overwater Villas, by the beach or within the tropical gardens,” said Mark Eletr, General Manager, Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma Maldives.

“Kandooma is small enough to walk around, yet offering enough space to find your own little pocket of peace and tranquillity. Some of our guests like the cabanas on our Surf Beach with the sounds of the waves, while others enjoy the activity around the resort pool area.   There really is something for everyone including the little ones!”

The Kandoo Kids Club offers supervised activities for kids, both indoor and outdoor areas complemented by a fun water zone.

“Our team really care about our little guests and ensuring they have just as much fun as our older clientele.  I think this is one of the reasons many families return to our resort year after year,” adds Mark.

During the Holy Month, Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma Maldives will maintain its regular food and beverage service for non-fasting guests, including poolside dining and drinks throughout the day. The resort is also providing access to its private island mosque for guests observing the Ramadan traditions. For those who are fasting, a lavish Iftar will be available every evening at the Kandooma Cafe at Sunset, while an a la carte Sohour menu can be found on the in-villa dining menu.

Mark, a representative from the resort, explained that Kandooma aims to provide a relaxing and tranquil experience for guests to unwind, whether that is through enjoying the various activities offered or simply taking some time out. During this special month of self-reflection and restraint, many of the resort’s Maldivian and expatriate staff will also be observing the Ramadan traditions.

Mark also highlighted that Ramadan is not only about abstaining from food and drink during the daylight hours but also embodying a sense of community and refraining from negative thoughts, words, and actions.

Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma Maldives is conveniently located just a 45-minute speedboat ride from Male’s Velana International Airport, and the resort will handle all arrangements to ensure a smooth and hassle-free transfer experience for guests.
