Travel Kuoni

Legendary & Luxe in the Maldives

Two Kuoni-exclusive Maldives stays, one 20-minute speedboat hop, and a brilliant shift from big-island choice to proper boutique escape.

Not everyone wants the same version of the Maldives for a whole week. This seven-night twin-centre starts at Kuramathi, one of the country’s best-known larger islands, where there’s room to roam, plenty of restaurants and bars, and more ways to fill a day than you might expect. Then it’s a simple 20-minute speedboat ride to Kandolhu, a tiny, more intimate island with just 30 villas, an exceptional house reef and service that feels genuinely personal. Both are exclusive to Kuoni in the UK, so this is a rare chance to experience two very different sides of the Maldives in one easy trip.

Days 1-4

Niva Kuramathi Maldives

Arrive at Kuramathi and settle into a Beach Villa, with the lagoon, soft sand and an impressively long island waiting just outside. This is a Maldives stay with options, whether you fancy snorkelling, tennis, diving, a treatment, a drink at the champagne bar, or simply finding your own stretch of beach and staying there. We’ve put Kuramathi first because it gives you time to explore and properly get into holiday mode. Visit the Eco Centre to see how the island is working to protect its marine environment, grow its own herbs and salads, and reduce waste, or take a boat to the local island of Rasdhoo for a glimpse beyond resort life. All Inclusive keeps it easy, so you can follow your mood rather than a schedule.

Days 5-7

Kandolhu Maldives

Then it’s a short speedboat ride to Kandolhu, where the island is smaller, the pace drops, and every detail feels more considered. Stay in a Beach Villa and spend your days switching between the sand, your terrace and one of the Maldives’ standout house reefs, which are close enough for snorkelling whenever the water looks too inviting to ignore. Kandolhu is where you come to feel a little more spoilt, with excellent food, thoughtful service and an atmosphere that makes it easy to forget there’s another world beyond the island. Upgrade to a Pool Villa or Ocean Pool Villa for an even more private finish, with your own pool and a front-row view of the lagoon.
