Atmosphere Kanifushi, Maldives

Opened in 2013 in Lhaviyani atoll, Kanifushi was the first offering from Maldivian operator Atmosphere Hotels and Resorts, targeting the growing interest in higher quality all inclusive resorts.

The island is one of the longest in the Maldives (2.5km) with an impressive beach on the sunset side and rugged shoreline on the other at the edge of the atoll. All of the well-appointed and well-sized beach villas (including family villas) and suites are on the sunset side, each with private beach access. Electric buggies are on hand to transport guests to the main island areas when they don’t feel like walking, and bicycles can be rented for a small daily fee for those feeling more adventurous (all fees are donated to a children’s foundation on a neighbouring local island).

The extensive Platinum Plus meal plan is very generous and includes numerous branded drinks and the award-winning Just Veg restaurant as a dining option – well worth a visit, but you’ll need to book. With an impressive array of facilities and activities, this resort is proving hugely popular with couples and families alike.

Opened in December 2013, Atmosphere Kanifushi is a new five-star resort in the sparsely populated Lhaviyani Atoll, just a 30-minute seaplane flight from Malé airport.

Kanifushi Island is approximately 2km in length and just 90 metres wide, with long white beaches, lush green palm trees and a variety of tropical vegetation.


All Atmosphere guests have complimentary lounge access at the seaplane terminal, with complimentary refreshments, Wi-Fi access and other services. Once at the resort, a dedicated Atmosphere team will escort all arriving and departing guests.

In total there are 150 villas and suites on the island - all are detached, with sunset view, and direct beach access overlooking the lagoon. The entire resort has been designed and constructed with a fusion of traditional and modern architecture, offering an overall contemporary feel with a Maldivian touch.
