Check in to Club Med to enjoy the best of the Maldives.
Club Med, the pioneer in premium all-inclusive holiday packages, certainly believes in giving you what you want. In China, for example, you have a choice of five different Club Med destinations, including two ski resorts – Yabuli in Heilongjiang Province and, its latest, Beidahu in Jilin Province, which opened just last week. Warmer destinations in China are the beach resorts in Sanya and Dong’ao Island, while Guilin has an abundance of nature and art. Depending on what you want to do in China, Club Med has something for you.
In the Indian Ocean paradise of Maldives, sun, sea and sand are the constants but the two Club Med resorts of Kani and Family differ in character and experience. Club Med Kani is the family getaway, filled with activities for both children and adults on and off the island. There’s plenty to keep everyone occupied during the day, but after the sun sets and dinner is done, it’s time for the grownups to let down their hair and party till the wee hours of the morning.
The Finolhu Villas, just five minutes away by speedboat from Kani, is nearly the same – a family destination with fun activities for adult and young. For all that, however, The Finolhu Villas is certainly more laidback than Club Med Kani. There are only 52 luxuriously appointed suites here, overseen by a personal butler and complete with a plunge pool on your terrace, where a staircase leads you straight into the ocean. While this means you’ll rarely want to leave your suite, it also ensures that the number of guests is always limited.
There’s pleasure to be had at both resorts, but where Kani is animate and bustling with purpose, The Finolhu Villas is serenity personified. Depending on what you’re looking for on this endless turquoise paradise that is the Maldives, both resorts are equally welcoming, filled with the warmth that Club Med and its GOs (gentil organisateur) are famous for. If you can’t choose one from the other, why not party at Kani and relax at The Finolhu Villas? After all, having the best of both worlds is always the perfect option.
