APLAYGROUN­D OF TROPICAL adventures, Kandima Maldives is a destinatio­n unto itself. Located on Dhaalu Atoll, a 30-minute flight from Male, it is spread over three kilometres. The stay options here range from studios perched among the trees or by the beach, to overwater villas with private sundecks to villas with their own infinity pool.

To make your holiday more exciting, Kandima Maldives has collaborat­ed with Skydive Maldives. Imagine a jaw-dropping free fall from 3,657 metres in the air. The experience begins at Dhaalu Airport, where you board a modified Cessna 208 seaplane after a 15-minute safety briefing. Twenty minutes after take-off, you’re launched into the sky. The experience concludes with a smooth landing at a secluded beach on Kandima Maldives. Depending on your expertise, you have the choice of tandem skydives (with a seasoned instructor), or dives with a group of a minimum of five and a maximum of 16 experience­d skydivers.

Rest assured that a specially designed K’OnGuard programme and the resort team closely monitor all health, safety, and service protocols. There is also a state-ofthe-art medical clinic and round-the-clock assistance from internatio­nal doctors on the island. kandima.com
