The Maldives we long for is a holiday paradise that God has forgotten in the world, with beautiful scenery where the sea and sky merge into one and fine white sand beaches. Kani Island, located on the coral reefs, is like a huge unfolded palm leaf floating in the clear green ocean. Standard rooms, beachfront rooms, water houses, each room type has its own unique features. My wife and I chose the standard room, which was also a good accommodation experience. There are snorkeling activities, speedboats, sea motorcycles, yoga, canoes, dolphin watching, etc. on the island. It is worth visiting the Maldives.

#maldiveshotel #clubmedkani Let me share 6 small tips from my trip to the Maldives 2025 with everyone: 1️⃣ First, choose a reputable resort that’s been highly recommended and reviewed. I suggest the place I stayed at: Club Med Kani, Maldives, part of the Club Med group. They have a travel agency in Vietnam, which makes it easy to get information and ask questions. This is a world-famous group with 70 resorts across 5 continents. Their services are all-inclusive so you don’t have to worry about anything. Plus, the staff here are incredibly friendly and humorous — 10/10! 2️⃣ Flights: Once you’ve booked your accommodation, choose your flight, as there are many transit routes. My family chose AirAsia since it transits in Malaysia — it’s affordable and a major airline with its own terminal in Kuala Lumpur (this terminal is very large and modern, with a shopping mall featuring famous brands and budget-friendly food courts!). There are also many mini hotels inside Terminal 2 you can rent for a few hours or overnight while waiting for your transit. Flight prices were quite high during Tet (Lunar New Year), so we opted for a 12-hour transit in Malaysia and booked a room with a private bathroom. However, we didn’t realize that even though the hotel is inside the terminal, it’s above the Immigration counter, which means we had to go through temporary entry procedures and then go through exit procedures again the next morning. (For your trip, I recommend choosing a mini hotel that doesn’t require leaving the Immigration area — it’ll be more convenient.) 3️⃣ Maldives Visa: No visa required beforehand. You just need 4 documents for immigration at Maldives airport: A valid passport Return flight ticket Hotel booking Imuga declaration form (complete it online and save the QR code) 4️⃣ Transportation from airport to resort: The airport is right next to the sea! Step outside and you’re already at the pier. No need for a taxi. Each resort has a representative holding a sign to welcome guests as soon as you exit the baggage claim. There's also a small check-in kiosk inside the airport for your resort (don’t worry if you're traveling independently — it's simple and hassle-free). 5️⃣ SIM & Data: No need to buy an international SIM if you're staying at a resort — both the airport and resort offer free Wi-Fi. (Though the speed is average, not high-speed, so if you need to upload large files, consider buying a local data SIM at the Maldives airport — it offers more data than a SIM bought in Vietnam.) 6️⃣ Luggage essentials: The weather is hotter than in Vietnam, and for great photos, you’ll want to shoot in the sunny daytime — so bring good sunscreen, colorful clothes, and sunglasses! Bring strap-on rubber sandals for walking in water and a waterproof phone pouch for participating in water sports! The food there is easy to eat. At Club Med Kani Resort, we had all-inclusive buffet meals 3 times a day, so I don’t think there’s any need to bring extra food — it'll just weigh you down.

Don't miss it🐠🐟. / 🌴Must-have for travel: Maldives Kani Island travel list ☀️Reason 1: Maldives is located near the equator, so the weather is like summer all year round, and March is as warm as early summer. Remember to pack summer clothing such as swimwear, beach shirts, shorts and sun hats. 📱Reason 2: Although the global network is very developed now, if you want to share your travel photos and videos at any time, then you may need a phone card suitable for Maldives so that you can stay in touch with the world at any time. 🔌Reason three: In the Maldives, the type of power sockets may be different from what we use, so remember to bring a universal plug converter to ensure that your mobile phones and other electrical devices can be charged smoothly. 💁‍♀️Reason 4: Even when you are on vacation at the beach, you should not relax your beautiful appearance. Therefore, ladies need to prepare some sunscreen skin care products and cosmetics to prevent their skin from being sunburned. 👝Reason 5: Although Kani Island in the Maldives is visa-free, you still need a passport and air ticket when entering and leaving the country. Don't forget! In addition, although most hotels accept credit cards, it is still necessary to carry cash with you. 📷Reason six: The last detail that was missed is that Kani Island in the Maldives is a place full of beautiful scenery, so cameras and diving equipment are both must-haves for travel. Let's create happy and beautiful memories together in Maldives! / 🌊Hold a cool drink, lie on the beach of Kani Island in the Maldives, and enjoy this unique paradise on earth! 🏖

Speaking of the Maldives, the coveted overwater cottages come to mind 🥹 There is one resort per island, but you can't find an overwater cottage unless you stay at a resort 😭 At the time, I was a working adult with no money, so I searched around and found a day tour 🫣✨ I couldn't find anything other than Club Med Kani Maldives, and they had a tour from near the airport, so I joined them! The lunch buffet was packed with activities like kayaking, snorkeling, windsurfing, and beach spots! By the way, it also came with unlimited drinks 🥹 On this day, there was a room available and it was cleaning time, so they let me take a look around the overwater cottages for a bit! You can't enter the private passage leading to the overwater cottages, but it seemed like it was OK to take pictures of the overwater cottages visible from the beach! #0 yen travel autumn #Maldives #resort hotel #overseas travel #overwater cottage #great view

I have lived in the Maldives for more than a year. A friend asked me how to travel on a budget. Then I will share a "five days and four nights" route. It is possible to travel on a budget by staying in Male or Hulhumale for four nights. flight: Transportation is probably the biggest expense in travel expenses. As of December 2023, there are not many direct flights. You may consider flying to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia or Bangkok, Thailand before transferring. DAY 1 Arrive at Male, Maldives, check in to hotel, book a guided city tour On the first day, you can adjust the route according to the flight. The main arrangement is to visit the city of Male. Most hotels can arrange free local tour guides, and all the main attractions can be visited. In the evening, when the sun is good, you can go to the beach opposite the seafood market to see schools of manta rays, or go to the tsunami monument to watch local people surfing, and go to the beach restaurant to enjoy local specialties in the evening. Manta rays are out and about, and when the weather is fine, they appear on time every evening. DAY 2 One-day trip to Kani Island. Free activities include snorkeling (swimming test required), canoeing and windsurfing. Sign up immediately when you arrive on the island. Kani Island is an "oasis garden" in the Indian Ocean. It is a poetic island, quiet and natural but full of vitality. It is a fun holiday island with a unique atmosphere, especially the butler service (Chinese service) is very enthusiastic. The dhoni boat takes an hour and a half, but you can go sea fishing all the way. Drinks are free on the island. You can go to the bar by the beach and watch the sea slowly. In the morning, there is a pool party, aerobics, dance, and games in the pool. This is the charm of Kani. DAY 3 Kings Island Night Tour In the morning, you can hang out on the artificial beach on the island. In the afternoon, we took a night tour of King Island, which is also called Centara Fuji Island. It takes about 15 minutes to get there from Male Pier 2. You can also see Male from afar on the island. Usually the boat departs at 2pm and returns at 11pm, so you can enjoy the charming scenery of the island at night. It incorporates the traditional architectural style of Jirabaru Island. The hotel has a swimming pool by the sea, free drinks and a Chinese menu. Buffet and night view are the themes of the evening. Listening to the sea, the island is romantic and passionate at night. DAY 4 Visit the resident island. Go to Vilingili or Hulhumale, the inhabited islands near Male, but please note that bikinis and overly revealing clothes are prohibited on the inhabited islands! ! ! The island we chose here is Vilingili Island, which is quiet, with clear water and white sand. It is very cost-effective. You need to take a special Vilingili Ferry and it takes only ten minutes to get to the island. There is a water sports center on the island, where you can enjoy motorboats, atoll snorkeling and other activities. If you don't feel tired in the afternoon, you can go dolphin watching + sea fishing + sunset on the sea. Usually, you set out at 4 pm and come back around 8 pm. Some routes can arrange barbecue on the boat, or go to Hulhumale Island for barbecue. There are also special arrangements for sea fishing. You can fish until 11 pm and come back. At that time, your whole body will smell of salty sea water. DAY 5 Before leaving, go to the artificial beach for another walk. If you have time, it only takes an hour to go around Male Island. To go along the longest seaside promenade, Boduthakurufanu Magu Don’t underestimate the artificial beach in Male. Sometimes it is so beautiful that it is beyond words. If it is a night flight, you can relax more freely during the day. Not all resort islands in the Maldives are open for day trips. Most hotels in Male city can be booked, but don't expect too much. As long as you plan well, city hotels generally cost $100-150 per night, and island hotels start at $600.

Took the family to Kani Island, The reason for choosing this island is because it is very close to the capital of the Maldives, Male, Having the elderly really doesn't have to be too troublesome, saving a lot of travel time and cost, Find the airport counter of Club Med after leaving the airport, and there will be hotel staff to confirm the guest's name, Then pick up the luggage, go to the pier to take a speedboat, and you can reach Kani Island in about 25 minutes by boat, No need to travel hard, you can immediately feel the clear water and white sand here!

If the currents of time allowed me to send a letter to my younger self five years ago, I'd fill that bottle with wisdom and encouragement. Here's what I would write: Dear Me, I hope this letter finds you well, and I trust you're navigating the tumultuous sea of life with determination and grace. As you stand on the shores of your past, about to embark on the voyage of the next five years, here are a few pearls of wisdom from the future. Firstly, embrace change. Life will present you with countless opportunities for growth. Don't fear the unknown; instead, welcome it with open arms. Change is the sculptor of your character. Secondly, cherish your relationships. The people who surround you now will become the pillars of your journey. Nurture these connections, for they will offer you strength, support, and enduring love. Next, believe in yourself. You possess an incredible reservoir of untapped potential. Don't doubt your abilities or limit your aspirations. Your dreams are the stars guiding your path. Remember to savor the present moment. Life is a collection of nows, so be fully present in each one. Breathe in the beauty of your surroundings, appreciate the kindness of others, and relish the simple joys. Let go of regrets and grudges. They're heavy anchors that hinder your progress. Forgiveness, both for others and yourself, is the wind that propels you forward. Lastly, stay curious and keep learning. The world is a vast library of knowledge, and every experience is a page to be read. Explore, question, and seek understanding. As you open this letter, consider it a compass for the next five years. Trust in yourself, embrace change, and remember that the journey is just as important as the destination. With love and hope, Your Future Self
