Why this trip
Thirty villas, a house reef in front of the beach and nothing else: Kandolhu in the Ari Atoll is one of the smallest luxury islands in the Maldives. For couples who put silence and privacy above everything, the island is a retreat without any pressure to follow a programme. There is no list of sights, because the island itself is the destination. You snorkel on the house reef, walk barefoot on the beach and let days pass without appointments.
This style is called barefoot elegant, and for travellers who keep prayer times flexible it is pleasant, because there are no group programmes on the schedule. You should discuss your wishes about food and quiet with the resort before arrival, because an island of this size has no second kitchen and no alternative. The journey is made from Malé, usually by speedboat or seaplane, and takes about 10 to 12 hours in total from Switzerland with a change. Cash is hardly needed on resort islands.
The best time lies between November and April. Addu, Baros Island, Dhigurah and Maafushi are neighbours in the country. If you have children with you, pay attention to the age limits of the resort, otherwise disappointment is bound to follow.
Getting there
For the journey, Halal Travel takes prayer times and catering on board into account from Zurich or Basel-Mulhouse.
