Club Med Kani at a glance

Club Med Kani is a Premium all-inclusive resort that has the whole island of Kani to itself, in North Malé Atoll, in the Maldives, 25 minutes by speedboat from Malé airport. Across 12 hectares, its 272 rooms line a 2 km private beach of coral sand and a turquoise lagoon with very rich sea life. It is the Maldives resort best suited to families: babies welcome from 6 months, included clubs from 4 to 17 and a flying trapeze, unique in the Maldives. Couples have their own space, the La Manta overwater suites, reserved for ages 8 and up. The package includes meals, the bar, sailing, snorkelling, kayaking and padel. 2026-2027 season: open from September 25 to May 5.

When is Club Med Kani open?

The resort opens on September 25, 2026 and welcomes guests until May 5, 2027. It then takes a short break from May 5 to 21, and reopens from May 21 to November 27, 2027. The season therefore covers the holidays, Quebec spring break in early March and Easter, on March 28, 2027. These are also the months of the dry season in the Maldives, roughly December to April: clear skies, calm seas and water around 28 °C. The holidays and spring break sell first, especially family rooms.

How do you get to Club Med Kani from Quebec?

You leave from Montreal or Quebec City with one or two connections, most often in Europe or the Middle East, to Malé International Airport. From there, the resort is 22 km away, 25 minutes by private speedboat transfer: you leave the airport and, half an hour later, you are walking barefoot on the beach. Your advisor chooses a routing that lands in daylight, so you can see the atolls from the boat, and books flights and transfers with the package.

What is the island of Kani like?

The whole island is the resort: 12 hectares of coconut palms and sandy paths, fringed by a 2 km beach. The lagoon is turquoise and shallow near the shore, and the reefs start a few fin kicks out: colourful reef fish show up within the first few metres. The resort is Green Globe certified and runs a coral planting program. A nature walk and a talk on Maldivian culture and environment, both included, introduce this fragile ecosystem.

Is Club Med Kani good for families?

It is the Maldives resort designed with them in mind. Babies are welcome from 6 months, and supervised care starts at age 4 with Mini Club Med+, for ages 4 to 10. Young people aged 11 to 13 and 14 to 17 each have their own club, included in the package. Children love the flying trapeze, an activity offered only here in the Maldives, and the water swing. Parents enjoy the lagoon while the older kids work on their circus act.

Which activities are included in the package?

The list is long for an island: sailing, kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, snorkelling, yoga, padel on four courts, beach tennis and the flying trapeze. Add cooking demonstrations and the walk devoted to the island's biodiversity. Scuba diving with PADI certification, dive packages, surfing and the spa are extra, on reservation. The waters of North Malé Atoll are among the richest in the country, and many travellers take their first dive here.

Which room should you choose at Club Med Kani?

The resort offers four types of Superior rooms and a Deluxe category, all a few steps from the beach. For a stay for two, the La Manta Exclusive Collection Space lines up 50 m² overwater suites above the lagoon, with panoramic views, for one or two people. Families have their own 50 m² overwater Family suites, for three or four people. Your advisor helps you choose between a beach room, handy with young children, and a suite over the water.

What is the La Manta Exclusive Collection Space?

It is the resort's overwater wing, open to guests aged 8 and up. You sleep above the lagoon, step down into the water from your own ladder and watch the sunset from your terrace, while keeping access to all of Kani's entertainment and activities. Several suites have been renovated. For newlyweds who want the overwater experience together with the life of a large resort, it is a very good fit.

What is the food like at Club Med Kani?

Meals are included from morning to night, with a main buffet mixing international cuisine and Indian Ocean flavours, and a recently renovated speciality restaurant. In the afternoon, the Kani Kravings food truck serves snacks near the pool. The bar is open all day. In the Maldives, the law allows alcohol to be served to foreign visitors, and the resort includes it in the package, as at every Club Med.

What is there to do around the resort?

The excursions, at extra cost, are worth one or two half-days. In Malé, you visit the National Museum, the old Friday Mosque built of coral stone and the fish market, where tuna comes straight off the boats. At sea, you head to a blue lagoon, a sandbank in the middle of the ocean or a lobster picnic by catamaran. The more active book a jet ski outing at sunset.

Kani or Les Villas de Finolhu: which one to choose?

The two resorts are neighbours in the same atoll. Kani is the lively resort, for families, friends and couples who enjoy entertainment. Right next door, Les Villas de Finolhu offer 52 villas with private pools and a butler, for guests aged 8 and up.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, the resort welcomes children from 6 months. Club care begins at age 4, with Mini Club Med+. With a little one, parents often choose a Superior room near the beach, handy for naps. Your advisor goes over the baby equipment to request before arrival.
Yes, especially in the La Manta Exclusive Collection Space, reserved for ages 8 and up: 50 m² overwater suites, lagoon views and sunsets from the terrace. Couples who want even more privacy also look at Les Villas de Finolhu, on the neighbouring islet. Your advisor compares the two based on your style.
Early March falls in the middle of the dry season, which runs roughly from December to April. You can expect plenty of sunshine, calm seas, good visibility for snorkelling and daytime temperatures around 30 °C. It is one of the best times of year at the resort, so book early.
You need a passport valid for the whole stay and, in practice, for at least six months after your return. Canadian travellers receive a free 30-day tourist visa on arrival, on presentation of a return ticket and hotel booking. An online declaration is completed before departure; your advisor sends it to you.
Yes, the resort's dive centre offers introductory dives, PADI certification courses and packages for certified divers, at extra cost. The reefs of North Malé Atoll are known for their rich marine life. Snorkelling is included in the package.
Yes, Wi-Fi is available across the resort, in the rooms and common areas. The connection easily lets you send photos to family back in Quebec. Keep the time difference in mind: the Maldives are 10 hours ahead of Montreal in winter, so your evening calls land in their morning.
At Club Med, tipping is entirely at your discretion. If an instructor, a kids' club team member or an excursion guide made your stay, a gesture at the end of the trip is always appreciated.
At the resort, dress is casual: swimsuit, sarong and sandals by day, light summer clothes in the evening. Some evenings have a colour theme, and a white outfit often comes in handy. For the Malé excursion, bring clothes that cover shoulders and knees, out of respect for the mosques and local culture.
It is a circus activity led by specialised instructors, included in the package. A harness and net keep everyone safe, and children and adults learn to swing and then be caught in mid-air. Kani is the only resort in the Maldives to offer it.
The island is flat and crossed by sandy paths, and the transfer is by speedboat. Before booking, your advisor checks with the resort which room type is suitable, access to the restaurants and boarding at the jetty. Tell them your exact needs so they can plan your arrival accordingly.
