Second island:
Atmosphere Kanifushi
Kanifushi is another resort island, but with a different
personality. More elongated, more open, more expo-
sed to the wind, it lies deep within the remote Lhaviyani
Atoll, stretching like a ribbon of white sand and tropical
vegetation for two kilometres, with an average wid-
th of about 90 metres. Unlike more compact islands,
this one offers a broader, more expansive experience,
where the sea breeze constantly brushes against the
lush vegetation.
The villas are spread along the beach and over the
water. The Sunset Beach Villas, nestled among the
greenery, offer direct beach access, with some fea-
turing private pools. The Water Villas, perched on
stilts over the lagoon, include terraces, private pools,
and direct access to the sea—offering a luxurious
overwater experience.
Although the island doesn’t have a reef accessible
directly from the beach, Oceanix organises daily
dhoni (traditional boat) excursions to some of the
atoll’s best snorkelling spots, as well as diving cour-
ses, dive trips, and water sports. These outings pro-
vide the opportunity to explore vibrant reefs and ob-
serve a wide variety of marine life, including turtles,
rays, tropical fish, and sharks.
