Resort Intro
Atmosphere Kanifushi Maldives, part of the Maia Mofir Hotel Group, is the brand’s first all-inclusive resort, located in the Raa Atoll, approximately 133 kilometers from Male International Airport and accessible by seaplane in just 40 minutes. The island stretches about 2 kilometers in length and averages 90 meters in width, surrounded by natural coral reefs and lush vegetation dominated by palm trees and tropical plants. It features standalone beach villas spread along a turquoise lagoon stretching roughly 2 kilometers, offering spacious layouts and interiors that reflect local design aesthetics.
The resort operates on an all-inclusive basis, covering high-quality dining, beverages, and various activities such as day trips, sunset fishing, diving, and non-motorized water sports. Some rooms can be upgraded to a Platinum package, which includes premium wines, spirits, and diverse dining options.
Island Features ① The first all-inclusive island under the Maia Mofir brand—and the only one offering seaplane transfers. ② Large island size with comprehensive facilities and a wide range of activities, fully supporting all-inclusive operations. ③ Features a dynamic sandbar structure that shifts with tidal changes, creating a broad, continuous beach area. ④ Boasts two main swimming pools, including one specially designed for honeymooners to create distinct atmospheres. ⑤ One side faces open ocean waters, while the other overlooks calm lagoon waters. ⑥ Beach villas come with both front and back courtyards, each surrounded by coconut groves and sandy areas, ensuring high privacy. ⑦ Originally configured exclusively with beach villas, water villas were added during the pandemic period.
Limitations Snorkeling activities require traveling offshore; due to the island’s large size, guests are advised to use the complimentary electric carts or rent bicycles for internal transportation.
