Club Med Kani

3 Restaurants & 2 Bars

Three dining venues and two bars — all covered under Club Med's single all-inclusive rate. The Vehli handles the volume with international buffet spreads, while The Kandu and The Kaana provide lagoon-front seafood and Asian tapas alternatives. Drinks flow at The Iru main bar and the poolside Sunset Bar.

The Vehli

International Buffet

Dining Inclusions

Club Med operates a single all-inclusive model — there is no BB, HB, or FB option. Every booking includes all meals at all restaurants, open bar (house spirits, wine, beer), non-motorized water sports, land sports, kids clubs for ages 4+, and nightly entertainment. Premium spirits and spa treatments are extra.

Your Days on the Island

Club Med Kani is one of the most activity-dense resorts in the Maldives. The flying trapeze is unique to the country, and the breadth of included sports — sailing, kayaking, padel, beach volleyball — means there is no dead time. Euro-Divers runs the PADI dive center at extra charge.

Family-Friendly Features

Club Med Kani is built for families. Mini Club Med+ (ages 4-10) and the Juniors' Club (11-13) are both included in the rate, with sailing, trapeze, and creative activities running daily. The Baby Food Corner at The Vehli simplifies mealtimes for parents with infants. The flying trapeze is a genuine kid magnet. The all-inclusive model means no bill anxiety, and interconnecting rooms keep families together without sharing one space.

House Reef & Underwater

The house reef at Kanifinolhu shows the effects of past coral bleaching but is undergoing active restoration. Snorkeling from shore is possible, though the reef is not among North Male's strongest. The atoll's broader dive sites — accessible via Euro-Divers — offer considerably more variety. Expect reef fish, occasional turtles, and recovering coral formations.

PADI dive center on-site. Night snorkeling available. Marine life observations sourced from dive logs and guest reports.

Transfer from Malé

Thirty minutes by speedboat from Velana International Airport — a straightforward transfer with no seaplane required. No daylight restrictions, so late arrivals and departures are handled without issue. Return transfer is approximately USD 240 per person roundtrip.

Who This Resort is For

Club Med Kani fills a specific gap in the Maldives market: a genuine all-inclusive where the rate covers nearly everything, aimed at families and active travelers who want structure and variety rather than barefoot luxury. The flying trapeze, G.O. entertainment, and included kids clubs set it apart from standard Maldives resorts. It is not the place for quiet romance or reef quality, but for value-conscious families it delivers more included activities per dollar than almost any alternative in the atolls.
