Great deals for remote workers, solo travellers at Kandima Maldives

Published

on

A switch in working habits, particularly following the pandemic, with reliable access to technology and connectivity, has seen the digital nomad lifestyle rise and workers’ thirst for exploration stronger than ever. Whether it is freedom, independence, or simply meeting new people while travelling the world, becoming a digital nomad is an increasingly popular way to combine a healthy work-life balance.

Contrary to popular belief that remote work involves lounging on the beach with a Pina Colada in hand, recent research has revealed that remote workers tend to be 13% more productive than their office-based counterparts. 

Kandima Maldives has taken a forward-thinking approach to attract digital nomads to the island. This destination offers a world of choice for those working remotely, with complimentary high-speed internet available throughout the island, with a special rate for guests staying longer than six nights. The deal is available from 11 January 2023 – 23 December 2023 when booked directly and includes full-board accommodation. Guests can redeem this offer by imputing the promo code “SOLO” at the bookings page or by contacting the hotel at mykindofplace@kandima.com

When the laptop closes and the out-of-office message turns on, a world of choice is available at Kandima to wind down.

Blow off steam at BURN fitness centre, tennis court, or football pitch, and for a more calming and rejuvenating time, head to EsKape Spa. Re-energise on a jet ski or any water sports you choose in Kandima’s turquoise lagoon or head off on a sunset cruise with dolphins – all available at Aquaholics. 

Each room at Kandima is equipped with comfortable furnishings and includes air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, and a minibar. The resort has plenty of dining options to satisfy any craving, from international cuisine to local Maldivian specialities.

You can finish the day at one of the eight restaurants or head to one of the island’s 3 bars to grab your well-deserved cocktail.

At Kandima Maldives, you’ll experience the perfect balance of work and play. So why not escape the confines of your home office and join in on paradise? Book here and take remote working to the next level. 

Solo Travel

Kandima has also recognised an increase in demand for solo travel in 2023 and is providing generous discounts on its nightly rates this summer for those seeking to travel solo. Typically considered a couple’s destination, the Maldives has so much to offer for solo travellers. Ignite your inner aquaholic and discover the depths of the Indian Ocean with diving, night snorkelling, sea bob experiences and even coral adoption for nature lovers.

This summer, solo travellers can save on the room rate when staying at Kandima Maldives. The offer is valid between 11 May – 30 September 2023 and applies to the resort’s sky studio rooms. A room now costs US$194 per night for a solo traveller. The deal is available to book here.

Travel + Leisure Asia Pacific awards Villa Nautica Best Resort Pool in Maldives

Published

on

Villa Nautica’s signature infinity pool has been awarded the title of Best Resort Pool in the Maldives by readers of the Travel + Leisure Asia Pacific Luxury Awards 2025. More than just an architectural feature, the pool serves as the heart of the resort—a tranquil expanse of water that seamlessly mirrors the sea beyond and transforms swimming into a meditative experience. Here, thoughtful design blends effortlessly with the natural environment, creating a space where the boundaries between land, water, and sky dissolve into serenity.

Located in the North Malé Atoll, only a short speedboat ride from the capital, Villa Nautica’s 1,350-square-meter pool is both a focal point and a design statement. It does not clamor for attention but draws it gently, extending confidently toward the horizon and creating the illusion of merging with the open ocean—while still offering the comfort and stability of land.

What distinguishes this pool is not merely its size or the flawless infinity illusion, but the way it quietly becomes part of the guest’s daily rhythm. Sun loungers are thoughtfully spaced and positioned, offering just the right amount of shade and always seeming to face the light at its most flattering angle. From morning sunbathing to lazy midday naps and sunset refreshments, the space is designed for lingering.

Adjacent to the pool is Press & Pot, a favoured spot among guests who enjoy pairing their swim with an artisanal coffee. The scent of freshly brewed espresso mingles with the sea breeze and the subtle aroma of sunscreen. Here, pastries come warm from the oven, tropical fruits are sliced to order, and coffee is served to a standard that rivals any urban café—with the added luxury of an uninterrupted ocean view.

Villa Nautica’s approach is not one of ostentation but of elegance. Its luxury lies in the details: the coolness of the stone underfoot, the soft rustle of palm leaves, and the way the water reflects the sky like glass as dusk approaches. It is an environment where nature and design exist in perfect, understated harmony.

This is what set Villa Nautica apart and earned it top honors. Among a competitive field of exceptional Maldivian resorts, the Travel + Leisure panel identified a timeless quality here. This is not simply a pool to swim in—it is one to experience. A space that encourages guests to pause, disconnect, and simply be.
