Why do tourists appreciate the Maldives the most? Shopping here is not as lively as in the UAE, Turkey or Egypt. There are no such incendiary parties to the sounds of samba as in the resorts of the Dominican Republic or Cuba. There is no “lady-boy show” like in Thailand. But the Maldives wins the hearts of tourists with others, namely the Atmosphere of Relaxation. These two words really need to be capitalized, as they are the main slogan of the tourism industry of the island nation.
Tell a knowledgeable traveler the word “Maldives” and they will immediately think of quiet bungalows on stilts in the middle of a turquoise lagoon, endless pampering in their own pool, torchlight dinners on the beach, aroma massage sessions, sun encounters or insanely beautiful sunsets that you see from the terrace of the bungalow. It is this atmosphere of relaxation that is painstakingly created at Atmosphere Kanifushi Maldives A Premium All-Inclusive Resort 5. Let's take a closer look at the facilities, rooms and services at this hotel.
How to get to the Maldives
Inaccessibility is the only disadvantage of the island nation. The Maldives is a collection of archipelagos, and those, in turn, consist of islets or sparsely populated atolls. All international flights are accepted by the airport. I. Nasira, located near the capital, the city of Male, on the island of Hulule. Tourists don't stay there for long. Some are on small planes of local airlines, some are on speed boats, and some are on ferries - guests go on vacation to their islands. Sometimes one hotel can take up the entire atoll.
Russian tourists can get to the Maldives from Moscow by direct flight. How long is the flight to this tropical paradise? If you get on a direct regular flight of Aeroflot (it departs from Sheremetyevo on Wednesdays and Saturdays), then the journey will take about nine hours. The journey with transfers will be cheaper, but depressingly long: with Emirates (via Dubai) - 13 hours, with Turkish and Qatari Airlines (via Istanbul or Doha) - 14 hours.
Where is the hotel located
Atmosphere Kanifushi Maldives is located on Lhaviyani Atoll. The length of this piece of land is two kilometers, and the width does not exceed 100 m. The hotel occupies the entire atoll. Rather, the villas are concentrated in one part of it, where the sea is the calmest. If you want to look at the "paradise beach" without human intervention, then this is also possible. How to get frominternational airport in the capital Male to Lhaviyani Atoll?
The hotel's full name is "Premium All-Inclusive Resort" for a reason. When you have passed all the necessary procedures with border guards and customs officers, you will be met in the domestic flight area and taken on board a small but comfortable seaplane. There is no airfield on the atoll, planes land on the water and swim up to the pier. The entire flight lasts 35 minutes. Meets and escorts guests to the entire management team of the hotel. Tourists are very impressed. No need to wait for the hour of check-in - the keys to your villa are given to you immediately.
When is the best time to go to paradise islands
The Maldivian archipelagos are located in the Pacific Ocean, almost on the equator itself. In this regard, seasonal fluctuations here are very weakly expressed. But they are still there. And before you get to the Maldives, you need to find out when is the best time to visit this country. From May to October, southwest monsoons blow, which bring rain. But precipitation falls mainly at night and they do not cool the air with water. From November to February, monsoons from the northeast, called "iruvai", bring dry and clear weather. Then comes the high tourist season.
What are the Maldives like in March? This month is transitional, which means that the weather depends on which decade of the month appears on the calendar. For example, in early March, the sea can be stormy and stormy. Closer to April, the winds also increase and there is a chance of rain. But in mid-March, the period of "fusbadurava" begins - quiet, clear weather, just like in the winter months of hightourist season. But, again, precipitation will not ruin your vacation. The air temperature in the Maldives is always around +30 degrees, and the sea is always very warm (+28 °C).
Description of the hotel area
As mentioned above, the Atmosphere Kanifushi Maldives hotel covers almost the entire atoll, leaving only a small space for wildlife. The villas lined up in a narrow chain right on the shore. There are more than a hundred of them. Which one to book? So that the atmosphere of relaxation is not disturbed by the buzzing of a hydroplane, tourists recommend settling away from the reception and the pier opposite it. These are villas numbered around 200.
Such accommodation is also beneficial because the sea and the beach are cleaner here. How to solve the problem that you have to get to the main restaurant for one and a half kilometers? Very simple! Electric buggies scurry around the atoll from morning to evening. Stop any car and it will drive you to your destination in minutes. All villas are new. After all, the hotel was opened in 2013. But this is the downside of the hotel. The green spaces on the atoll, especially the trees, are still very low. The hotel has two communal swimming pools, several bars with restaurants, a kids club, a water sports center and a spa complex.
