Kani MALDIVES

1km beautiful island 30 min of boat ride from Male. First impression - mixed feelings as this resort as a”pearl between ClubMed resorts” needs refreshment. Staff cares about everything but some investments are necessary (I believe this message should be heard in Singapore (HQ)).
Beautiful view from the beach, however we had second in class villa as we were denied access to watervilla due to our kid which is below 8 yo. Misunderstanding with fridge filling was greatly handled by Chief of this village. In general atmosphere is very well. Staff is friendly, helpful and very well trained. We want to specificaly highlight EXCELLENT staff of KidsClub (Fathima, Moho, Emma, Ellena, others)! Nowhere else we have seen such dedication to kids and so many attractions and activities! Food is delicious! Attractions are interesting and well prepared. However, after many pros, one general con considering this site needs a refreshment the price is too high for this quality (e.g., cosmic price of fridge refill). In my perception, and comparing with the other ClubMeds, 15-20% too high.
P. S. This may be annoying to someone when staff is approaching GMs during the meals.

We just came back from Club Med Kani and overall had a really great family holiday there.

We were in a beachfront interconnecting room for 2 adults and 3 kids. The location was perfect — straight onto the beach, which made everything so easy with young children. The room was clean and housekeeping did a good job every day. There was sometimes a slight sewage smell from the toilet and the beds and pillows could be more comfortable, but it didn’t take away too much from our stay.
Although we reach the resort after a late flight, the transfer and check in was seamless.
We also managed to extend our stay due to a late flight back which the managed to accommodate.

What really made the trip special was the staff.

The circus team — Abigail, Appy, Hendri and Nana — were fantastic. They were so encouraging and fun, especially with the kids, and created such a nice atmosphere every day.

The kids club team (Elena, Fatima, Emma and Mohd) honestly felt like part of our family by the end of the trip. Our 4-year-old, Leia, absolutely loved going there and was always excited to see them. It made a big difference knowing she was happy and well taken care of.

At the restaurant, all the waiting staff were great, especially Enes and the assistant manager from Bangladesh (sorry I didn’t catch his name). They were friendly, attentive and always made us feel welcome.

Roman at the beach was also wonderful — very patient and happy to chat about the marine life, which we really enjoyed.

At the bar, Kim was always around with a drink and a friendly word, which made evenings very relaxing.

And a big thank you to Achraf from sports for teaching my son and me padel. He was so patient and made it really fun — we enjoyed it so much that we’re now continuing the sport back in Singapore.

Overall, we had a very memorable stay and would happily come back. The people really make this place what it is.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Club Med Kani, and we truly fell in love with this exceptional place. Despite a few days of bad weather, our overall experience was nothing short of amazing, and it did not diminish our enjoyment in any way.

What touched us the most throughout our stay was the incredible attention, kindness, and professionalism of the staff, especially at the bars and in the restaurants. Every interaction was warm, thoughtful, and genuine, making us feel truly welcomed and cared for at all times.

We were also deeply moved by the special attention given during Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. The atmosphere, the organization, and the little details made these moments magical and unforgettable for us. It was clear that a lot of heart and effort went into making the holiday season truly special for the guests.

A very special mention, with our biggest thanks, goes to the circus team for all the wonderful moments we shared together: Cheryl, Daniel, Happy, Nana, and Hendry. Your energy, talent, and kindness made our stay even more memorable.

And finally, a very, very special mention to Hendry truly exceptional in every way. Thank you for your constant positivity, your presence, and the unforgettable moments you helped create. You made a real difference in our experience, and we will remember it for a very long time.

We would also like to warmly thank Amadou for a truly beautiful sailing experience. It was a magical moment, made even more special by the chance to see turtles during our time on the water an unforgettable memory that we will cherish forever.

Thank you, Club Med Kani, for these beautiful memories. We leave with our hearts full and hope to come back very soon.

I spent an amazing eight days in Kani.

The entire experience was perfect from start to finish. The beach, activities, dining, and service were all excellent. Although the room was slightly dated, it was very well maintained and kept impeccably clean throughout my stay. Most importantly, the entire GO and GE team were absolutely outstanding and ensured I had a wonderful time.

Many thanks to Isla for a smooth and very friendly arrival process, and for remaining attentive throughout my stay.

The dining experience was flawless. The food selection was varied, and every meal was consistently delicious. The service was a true highlight, with the staff always attentive and warm. My sincere thanks to Mahen, Manu, Saji Kumar, and their teams.

The teams in both bars were likewise excellent. In particular, Kawser, Ashley, and Lia not only prepared great drinks but always made time for a pleasant conversation.

All sports activities were very well managed by Yousri, Hugo, and their teams. Hugo, who had just started during my stay, was always present, welcoming, and friendly, ensuring everyone enjoyed themselves.

I thoroughly enjoyed all the beach activities, which were well organised. The water sports team—Shuau, Omar, Ricky, and Anadou—were consistently friendly and professional. The armada sailing trip was a real highlight; despite the more challenging conditions, it was exceptionally well managed.

The daily snorkeling excursions were excellent. The marine life around the island is rich and diverse, and the whole team ensured every trip was a memorable experience. Thank you to Natsumi, Celine, Roman, Oumar, and Yoe for so many wonderful moments and for your professionalism.
It was also nice to combine the snorkeling with Sharon’s informative and insightful lecture and underwater coral excursion.

The evening program was well organised. The animation and acrobatics teams delivered an entertaining show every night. Baris, the head of animation, was always present, ensuring the great atmosphere continued throughout each evening.

Throughout my stay, Ragab and his entire GO team remained highly professional, welcoming, and friendly, without ever being intrusive. Many thanks to Oksana, Elena, Diana, Ciara, Karin, Celine, Demi, Fafa, Cheryl, Stepan, Alexey, Moosa, and Roman for their attention, enthusiasm, the fun moments, and for making sure I had an amazing time.

Last but certainly not least, special thanks to Natsumi, Ciara, and Baris for so many wonderful moments. It was a pleasure meeting you in Kani—and reuniting with Ciara and Baris after Seychelles. Your professionalism, kindness, and attentiveness truly made my holiday unforgettable.

Overall, it was another excellent experience with Club Med, and I will certainly consider returning to Kani in the future.

Perfect 8 days in paradise, such a beautiful location.
10/10 for the Euro-divers team, special thanks to Minnie and Betty, they're absolutely lovely and we had a great time diving with them.
The food was delicious. I have quite some allergies, but Saji was so helpful and guided me through the buffet for every meal being extra careful with my food. Outstanding experience for me, as this doesn't happen in many resorts.
Thank you to Hatab for the morning walks as well as his great company, was lovely meeting you!
Go see Ramon for snorkeling, he is so enthusiastic and clearly loves the coral and what he does, loved our snorkeling experience with him even if the weather wasn't to great that day.
Overall big thanks to the whole Manta staff, housekeeping was perfect, requests were quick to be resolved and the bar staff was lovely. Highly recommend the suites, they are very much worth it with amazing facilities and gorgeous views.
10/10 for the whole stay, we hope to be back soon!
