The Sky Studio is the upper-floor version of Kandima’s studios, set along the main beach with a private balcony that looks out over the Indian Ocean. At 55 sqm, it is bright and airy, with a king bed and a sofa bed, so it works well for couples, friends and small families who want a view without paying for a villa.

The interiors are clean and contemporary, with a walk-in rain shower, a coffee machine, a minibar, a safe and a 40-inch LED TV with an in-room entertainment system. Wi-Fi is free throughout, and the balcony has its own swing for slow mornings. There are 56 Sky Studios at the resort, each sleeping 2 adults and 2 children, or 4 adults. Families who need more space can book two connected studios as a 2 Bedroom Family Sky Suite.

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.
