I’d never been to the Maldives before. So let me dispel some myths. No, the Maldives is not just for romantic couples. No, the Maldives Islands aren’t going to sink with rising sea levels. And no, it’s not completely out of budget.
For those who aren’t familiar with the Maldives, or where they are located. They are a tiny dot (technically an archipelago) in the Indian ocean (if you scroll out a lot on Google Maps), these 26 atolls, or 1190 islands, are stunning from above. Whether you fly into Male airport or take a seaplane to one of the Islands, the views are incredible. Their formation came from prehistoric volcanoes, that went extinct and the coral continued to grow, slowly the material from the reefs became tiny islands.
We are spoilt in Dubai, with our home being on most peoples ‘must visit’ bucket lists, but that’s not to stop us from having travel bucket lists of our own. And how many can get on there, there are so many options near us, too many to name.
But should the Maldives vacation be on your list, perhaps we should prepare the ultimate Top 10 Maldives Islands to visit to help you navigate the 132 Maldives resorts in the Maldives (at the last Wikipedia count)? I’m sure there would be a few volunteers from Lovin Dubai HQ to try them out. That list is perhaps for another day.
For now, fresh from a 4 day trip to Kandima in the Maldives, here are 23 reasons all Dubai residents need to visit this resort at least once!
…and it is basically the Jumeirah of the Maldives, so they know what they’re doing.

The ‘Maldives’ in a word is reason enough to want to plan a trip. These are a few more to give you excuses when, why and where to book.
The best months are September to May, but I went in June, typically monsoon season, and the weather was amazing, 30 degrees every day.
One other reason why now is a good for a Maldives vacation, that could have been reason 24, but 23 has a nice ring to it, is that the Kandima resort has their own clinic, with PCR tests available.
Keep an eye on the Kandima website for offers, but a quick search showed up that the prices are pretty reasonably compared to the most expensive resorts, and for what they have on this island as well.
