Welcome to a slice of paradise – our most memorable family vacation yet!
From the moment our sea plane touched down on this idyllic island, we were awestruck by its breathtaking beauty. The picturesque setting was beyond anything we could have imagined, and my photos hardly do it justice.
But what truly sets Kanuhura apart as a world-class resort is its incredible staff. Their warmth and hospitality made us feel like Norwegian royalty throughout our stay.
The journey begins right after leaving the airport at Male, where Kanuhura has a comfortable lounge in the seaplane terminal – a welcome haven after a long flight, complete with air conditioning, Wi-Fi, snacks, and drinks. The seaplane ride to the island, about 40 minutes, offers stunning views of the archipelago, and I couldn’t imagine staying at any other resort.
Our accommodation, initially a water villa, was upgraded to a Grand Beach Pool villa. Located on the sunset side with a broader beach, it was absolutely perfect. Villa 131/132, where we stayed, is arguably the best on the island, conveniently next to the Iru beach bar in a gorgeous area. The villa’s spaciousness (250sqm) and separate bedrooms were impressive. The outdoor bathroom, with its night sky views, provided an unforgettable showering experience. Housekeeping did an outstanding job, maintaining everything impeccably. The inclusion of bicycles with each villa added a charming way to explore the island, from fruit bats to orchids.
The breakfast buffet was a delight, featuring an array of regional fruits like mangoes, mangosteens, rambutan, and passion fruits. Our package included meals at the resort’s three main restaurants, where the staff, especially Mr. Raappe, an exemplary waiter, made us feel like part of a family.
In conclusion, Kanuhura is a superbly managed luxury resort, excelling in quality and service. My family adored every moment of our stay and highly recommends it.
Kudos to the entire team at Kanuhura for setting such a high standard in hospitality. I eagerly look forward to our next visit.
