The Aqua Villa with Swirl Pool takes Kandima’s overwater villa and adds a swirl pool to the private sundeck. At 73 sqm, the villa sits over the resort’s wide lagoon, with sun loungers on the deck and direct access to the water below. Inside, a king bed and a sofa bed give couples and friends plenty of room.

The bathroom has a freestanding bathtub with a view over the lagoon, and the villa comes with a coffee machine, a minibar, a safe, a hair dryer, a 40-inch LED TV with an in-room entertainment system and free Wi-Fi. There are 29 of these villas at Kandima, each sleeping up to 2 adults and 2 children (a child policy disclaimer applies to overwater villas).

Kandima Maldives is in Dhaalu Atoll, reached by a 40-minute seaplane from Velana International Airport or a 30-minute domestic flight followed by a 20-minute boat ride. Makani can book the whole trip from Dubai, Abu Dhabi or anywhere in the UAE, including flights, transfers and meal plans.
