We were lucky enough to have had our second visit to stunning kandolhu. Words cannot express how special this island is, stunning food, beautiful accommodation, and staff that make you feel so welcome it’s like coming home to long lost family. A friendly face will greet you all over the island that feels very warm and genuine. Chiara and Mike were fantastic in the dive centre, helping me to achieve my PADI open water certificate, and being very knowledgeable for more experienced divers as well.
The food is the best food I have ever had on any holiday, each restaurant is excellent and will not disappoint. Chef Raghi was always on hand to explain any dishes, with him and the team expertly tailoring them to your tastes, all delivered to your table with a smile by the delightful Estela, Zihan, Maan or the others who I can’t quite remember.
We opted for the ocean pool villa this time which was every bit as stunning as the island it is connected to. The only slight complaint was the bathroom was starting to look a little tired in our villa, crumbling grout lines and aging safety strip on the glass - this didn’t bother us but might be an issue for some people considering the cost of this accommodation.
All in all a fantastic holiday in the perfect location, we were a little worried it wouldn’t live up to the first time, but we needn’t have, I’d love to come back for a 3rd time if and when finances allow!
