We don’t know what plans or resolutions you made at the beginning of this year, but we are sure they are impressive. I, on the other hand, decided this year was going to be less boring than the last two years and decided that I will keep an eye on my wellness, get out more and reinvigorate my soul (whatever that means). Anyway, I came across one of the region’s most popular lifestyle destinations – Kandima Maldives and it piqued my interest.

Whether you are looking for a soulful detox, an active fitness routine under or over the water, award-winning wellness or spa experiences, or just an amazing bicycle ride on a 3km long island, this coolest active lifestyle resort in the Maldives seems to have it all, especially if you lead an active lifestyle.

Yoga and Meditation at Kandima

While here, you can start your mornings with relaxing yoga and mindful meditation by wellness pros on the beach, giving you a perfect-food-for-the-soul experience with a stunning view of the blue waters, or simply get your adrenalin rush in by booking yourself a session of Aerial Yoga at Kandima’s yoga studio.

Dining at Kandima Maldives

When it comes to dining at this one-of-a-kind resort, you can choose from an option of ten unique dining experiences ranging from restaurants and bars to Kandima’s healthy Mediterranean diner Azure and the grill house Smoked serving lip-smacking, flavorful & freshly sourced seafood, meats, and a large menu of vegetarian options for all.

Kandima also brings in an element of a farm-to-table initiative allowing you to indulge in the freshest of green produce on your dinner table during your stay. The initiative also supports local Maldivian communities and the surrounding environment.

Kayaking? Beach Run?

As dusk approaches, a kayaking session or a cool beach run is an inspiring way to bring the day to a close. Set on its own island in the Dhaalu Atoll, Kandima Maldives is ringed by a crystal-blue lagoon and pristine white sands for a unique private island experience to help you achieve a personal transformation of mind, body, and soul.

A tranquil haven away from the stresses and demands of modern life, Kandima Maldives focuses on well-being and rejuvenation where you reset mentally, emotionally, and physically. The 3km long island stretch gives ample opportunities for you and those you bring with you to experience the amazing tropical lush island. The resort invites folks to spend their stay enriching both body and mind with fitness-focused activities taking place all around the island and also offering one of the longest outdoor swimming pools in the Maldives with many stunning beaches to access.
