Question 2

Is Kandooma Fushi good for diving?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is considered one of the better dive destinations in South Malé Atoll.

The resort's PADI dive centre caters to all levels from beginners to experienced divers.

Question 4

What is the best time of year to visit Kandooma Fushi?

Accepted Answer

The dry northeast monsoon season from November to April offers the calmest seas and clearest underwater visibility, making it the most popular period for divers and snorkellers. The May to October southwest monsoon season brings surf and lower rates, appealing to surfers and budget-conscious travellers.

Question 5

Is there surfing at Kandooma Fushi?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A right-hand reef break off the island's southern point is accessible to intermediate and experienced surfers. Conditions are generally best between March and October when the southwest swell is running. The resort can advise on current conditions and board rentals.

Question 6

Can I combine a Maldives stay at Kandooma Fushi with a Sri Lanka holiday?

Accepted Answer

A combined itinerary is very popular. Colombo's Bandaranaike International Airport has direct connections to Velana International Airport in Malé, making it straightforward to split a trip between the two countries. Lakpura can manage the full journey, including Sri Lanka accommodation, transport, and activities.

Question 7

Is Kandooma Fushi all-inclusive?

Accepted Answer

The resort offers all-inclusive packages that cover meals and beverages across its dining outlets. Given the island's remote location and the absence of off-resort dining options, many guests find the all-inclusive plan represents good value. Half-board and bed-and-breakfast options are also available depending on the booking.

Question 8

Is Kandooma Fushi family-friendly?

Accepted Answer

The resort has a kids' club and a range of water sports and beach activities that work well for families, particularly during the calmer dry season. The active programme of diving, surfing, and excursions means it appeals to families with older children as much as to couples and solo travellers.
