A travel guide to Club Med Maldives
Whether you’re planning a trip to Club Med Maldives with friends, family, or your partner, this world-class accommodation is ready to welcome you with endless activities and unforgettable experiences. There are two options for booking your stay: Club Med Kani and Club Med Finolhu, which are just a five-minute speedboat ride apart.
For larger groups, we highly recommend staying at Club Med Kani. This vibrant village is perfect for friends or families as it’s designed to bring people together. You can choose from spacious Superior Rooms or Deluxe Rooms, both beachfront. However, for those looking for something extra special, consider the Overwater Villas available in their Exclusive Collection. Meanwhile, Club Med Finolhu is more ideal for couples, especially those seeking privacy and tranquillity. Being a smaller, more intimate retreat, Finolhu focuses on relaxation and offers a selection of Beach Villas and Overwater Villas. Guests at Finolhu can also visit Kani to enjoy the shared spaces and activities.

Dining experiences
Eating good food is one of life’s greatest pleasures, and at Club Med, the dining experience is truly a chef’s kiss. As an all-inclusive resort, you won’t have to worry about a thing when it comes to food and drinks because they’re all included in the price. So, if you forget your wallet or simply don’t feel like carrying it around, that’s no problem at all.
At the Kani resort, you’ve got plenty of options to satisfy your cravings. Let’s start with the main spot, The Velhi, a beachfront restaurant offering a delicious international buffet for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. With rotating menus throughout the day, there’s always something new to enjoy. If you prefer à la carte dining, check out The Kandu, tucked at the back of the village. For something more casual, Kani Kravings serves up bite-sized meals from a food truck—perfect for a quick bite on the beach. When it comes to drinks at Kani, the Sunset Bar, right by the sea, offers the perfect spot to unwind, while The Iru Bar brings the vibes with live DJs.
Over at Finolhu, the main restaurant is The Motu, where you can enjoy a selection of international dishes served in a relaxed, easy-to-eat style with a stunning view of the Indian Ocean. In the evening, it transforms into a romantic fine-dining experience, offering a close-to-nature atmosphere that’s perfect for a special night out.
Outdoor experiences
Of course, a Club Med resort wouldn’t be complete without a jam-packed lineup of activities, and at Club Med Maldives, the fun never stops. There’s so much to do that it’s a good idea to download their app to keep track of all the activities happening throughout the day. Whether you’re into land, water, or even air activities, they’ve got you covered. From snorkeling, surfing, kayaking, paddle boarding, sailing, flying trapeze, tennis, badminton, fitness classes, and more, there are so many things to enjoy that’ll keep you active and entertained. To make sure you don’t miss a thing, we highly recommend downloading the My Club Med application during your stay so you can easily plan your days.
Wellness experiences
After a day of indulging in delicious food, drinks, and all sorts of activities, there’s nothing better than self-care. At Kani, the Club Med Spa by Thalgo is the perfect place to unwind. Nestled in the heart of the village and surrounded by lush greenery and towering trees, it feels like a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Here, they use French products, renowned for their natural sea ingredients, to pamper you with luxurious body and facial treatments, as well as soothing massages. Over at Finolhu, the Club Med Spa by Ella Baché offers a tailored experience, using carefully selected products for different skin types. Plus, while you’re unwinding, you can enjoy stunning views of the sea.

Entertainment experiences
In addition to all the daytime activities, Club Med keeps the fun going with daily evening shows put on by the G.O. (Gentle Organiser). Every night, the G.O. perform under different themes that change depending on the location and vibe of the resort. After the show is over, there’s a closing party where guests are invited to dance, drink, and just simply vibe.

Club House experiences
Club Med really knows how to cater to everyone, with activities designed to suit all age groups. While adults enjoy their own adventures, kids from 1 to 17 are in good hands with age-appropriate activities, guided and supervised by one of the G.O. Within the clubhouses, there’s the Mini Club Med+, Teens Club Med, and the Club Med Chill Pass. This setup means parents can leave their kids, while they sneak off for some quality time, whether it’s a romantic dinner, a spa day, or just some peaceful relaxation.

Club Med isn’t just about providing unique, tailored experiences—it’s also deeply committed to sustainability across all its resorts, including in the Maldives. They’re incredibly mindful of conservation, making sure that sustainability is woven into everything they do. For example, their Bye-Bye Plastic program eliminates single-use plastic across all resorts worldwide. At Finolhu, sustainability meets luxury with 6,000 square meters of solar panels seamlessly integrated into the resort’s design. Plus, there’s an onsite water filtration and bottling station at both Maldive resorts that supplies guests with fresh, clean water in reusable glass bottles.
At Club Med Kani, the resort also offers eco-friendly activities, like the Underwater Marine Trail. This guided snorkelling tour, available to guests 8 and up, teaches participants about coral propagation while exploring the marine ecosystem.
So, whether you’re staying at Club Med Kani, Finolhu, or any of their resorts around the world, you can feel good knowing that while you’re enjoying a beautiful, relaxing holiday, you’re also contributing to the planet’s well-being.
