World Travel Awards is recognised globally as the ultimate travel accolade, celebrating brands that are constantly pushing the boundaries of industry excellence. Guests and industry experts have voted for Atmosphere Kanifushi, recognising the resort’s standout facilities, impeccable service, and its signature ‘Joy of Giving’ hospitality.

Off the beaten track, Atmosphere Kanifushi is located at the secluded Lhaviyani Atoll. This classic five-star island resort is accessible by a 35-minute seaplane ride from Malé International Airport.

Already a much sought-after hideaway for families seeking some tropical bliss, Atmosphere Kanifushi heightens the stay with additional villa categories to choose from. The two new categories are Kanifushi Grand Pool Villa and Kanifushi Residence. Hidden beneath gently swaying palm trees, these villas are conveniently located at the centre of the island’s unique two-kilometre-long beach.

Kanifushi Residence

Kanifushi Residence fits the bill for ultimate family bonding. The ten exclusive residences come with three bedrooms: a master bedroom, a kids bedroom and an attached nanny’s bedroom. There is also a living cum dining room with a pantry and an entertainment room.

Outside, guests have a standout 115 sqm free form swimming pool just steps away from the white, sandy beach and aquamarine waters beyond. The pool is a sheer delight with its elevated sofa seating, semi-submerged sun loungers and a shallow kids area. Features like a spacious wooden deck with table seating and a cosy Maldivian swing make this a perfectly chilled out spot.

Kanifushi Grand Pool Villa

Designed to delight, the twenty new Kanifushi Grand Pool Villas are ideal for both families and couples. These one-bedroom island homes (241 sqm) with open-air bathrooms and luxurious amenities, always offer inspiring ocean views.

The veranda opens onto a tranquil garden area – where families and couples can enjoy quality time at a 42 sqm lap pool and deck. Shaded table seating and a gazebo with a Maldivian swing enhance the sun-soaked poolside vibe.
