Atmosphere Kanifushi

We have just returned from a 5 days of marvelous vacation on Atmosphere Kanifushi Island and it was like in real PARADISE!!!! We’ve absolutely loved it, nevertheless, it was our first time visiting this island.The villas were spotlessly clean with two times cleaning service a day. Minibars were topped two times a day, which made me even happier. Very friendly staff everywhere starting from reception down to all facilities . All staff speaks perfect English & Hindi as well , suprised :) The island itself is very clean, green and stunning. Even better than in pictures. Separately, we want to say thank you for the chiefs of the Hotel restaurants (Spice, Sunset, Tepanyaki, Just Veg) for their absolutely delicious food and amazing hospitality. Don’t want to forget to emphasize the variety of seafood, exotic fruits and fried vegetables. I’ll not be able to express all our appreciation to all Hotel Staff and especially to Abdulla, Sunanda, Hemendra , Feri and others. We will be back for sure!!! Already miss all of you.

Hmmmm, so much to write , where to start from..okay let’s start from the most important person for you during your stay “THE GRO” GRO - guest relation officer - Naajid aka “Naajy” for us. Best service ever received , what a hospitality offered by him. It’s like he is always on his toes to give best service. I think we literally met him atleast 4-5 times daily. That tells you how active he is and always trying to resolve your queries and helping you plan a perfect itinerary for your stay. In short, GRO shadows you during your whole trip and “Naajy” did a fantastic job in that. Thank you Naajy once again for all your hospitality About Island - Its a white sand island 2.5km in length (a straight line) with Beach villas and water villas. You do have an option to go for a villa with private pool but those are few in numbers so get your bookings well in advance to get those. Overall the island is very beautiful and clean. We always saw their cleaning staff around us cleaning the whole island couple of times in a day Food - One of the most important thing one looks for during any vacation and they are simply amazing in food. So many options to eat, Buffet at Spice with a different menu on a daily basis, speciality Restraurants like Pier Six(fine dining for sea food), Tepanyakki Grill (Japanese cuisine) ,Just Veg(fusion dishes covering 6 different cuisine) & the Sunset (at the sunset pool). They also have options for in villa dining and private dinner arrangements for special occasions. The show stopper for me was the Beach Barbeque on every Wednesday. Simply amazing especially for sea food lovers and last but not the least the Sri Lankan speciality cuisine food place Ceylon Bliss , offers you options for evening snacks or dinner as it opened 5 times a week from 5 PM to 9 PM Alcohol options - after fair amount of research done I think this resort provides almost every alcohol option/brand/variety in their all inclusive package so nothing to worry about 😊, you will get enough booze to get high everyday😜 Spa - as it’s a long Island and if you like to walk , this is the place to relax and rejuvenate yourself. We visited the Spa twice and their foot message was awesome. We also got the Balinese massage done and it was good too. Nova is handling the guests really well and helping them make perfect choice for their treatments. Room Tips - I had a split stay with 3 nights in beach villa and remaining 3 in water villa with pool. In case you are first time traveller to this resort or Maldives , I would suggest to go with both but if you ask me what would I book for the next time it’s definitely gonna be their beach villas. You wake up with an amazing beach view with so many sun beds to relax and enjoy your day. In case you need peace and are travelling without kids, beach villas closer to sunset pool should attract you. In case with kids or wanna stay closer to their main activity areas and restraurants try and pick your villa closer to the Liquid Bar/Spice.. we prefer peace and less hustle bustle so we were staying closer to the sunset pool which is an adult only pool. Water/Sea excursion- They have a dive and sail centre where you can get any kind of sea activities booked like snorkelling, fishing tours , sunset cruises , dives , personal boats etc.. and next to that is their water sports area where all non motorised activities are part of their all inclusive package. For mortarised ones like jet ski, para sailing you need to pay Staff - I have to say that they really know the trick how to please their guests. Staff in every department is well trained and cordial. In case you have a special customised request they are always ready to help and make your stay a fruitful one. Here I would like to thank a few of them who took really good care of us: —— Harmendra - Bar tender at the sunset, simply amazing and sweet guy. All the best harmendra.. —— Ranbir - Hats off to you sir , I am an Indian and would suggest to open a couple of branches of Just Veg in India as well. Amazing menu and so many options for vegetarian lovers. —— Diah - Bar tender at the spice(mornings)and pier six(evenings) - she has some magic in her hands, best ever mocktails/cocktails I have had. Well done Diah. —— Imma - So helpful and always a smiling face. Making Africa proud 😊 —— Chamith at Ceylon bliss is doing full justice to Sri Lankan cuisine. Very tasty food we have had at Ceylon Bliss during our stay. —— Kundan Chef at Sunset(our daily sitting spot) was so curtious in taking our custom lunch requests and making each meal a memorable one. Thank you Kundan Ji. —— Ram & Sai at Pier six - They gave us the best dinner experience during our stay at Pier six with their food suggestions. Thank you so much. —— Housekeeping guys Aakash & Pankaj , Ambika at Spice , Sitay and Venkee at Just Veg , Kuldeep and Raj kumar at sunset pool , thank for making this trip very comfortable for us. —— Thanks Sanjay(Resort Manager)and Maxi(Head GRO team) for coming to us at sunset pool. Trust me that was a perfect gesture. P.S. - a small note to reservation team(do not want to mention any names), “after spending such a good time at your resort one expects atleast some eagerness from your side(reservation team in specific) in case your guest is looking to get their trip extended. As I did not get a revert from your end on the request for my stay extention it was a little disappointing but that’s dosent stop me to give FULL 5 stars to Atmosphere Kanifushi...!! Read less

We have just returned from a 10 days of marvelous vacation on Atmosphere Kanifushi Island and it was like in real PARADISE!!!! We’ve absolutely loved it, nevertheless, it was our second time visiting this island. Nothing changed since we’ve been there three years ago, same hospitality, service and wonderful cuisine. It was 4 of us and we took two Deluxe Villas on the soft powdery sand. The villas were spotlessly clean with two times cleaning service a day. Minibars were topped two times a day, which made me even happier))). Very friendly staff everywhere starting from reception down to Kids Club. Our son loved to go to Kids Club and recreation to play with nurseries. He was literally crying when we’ve been leaving the resort, that’s how he appreciated staff for their friendship and care. Hotel Guide Aliya was absolutely helpful and made it easy for us to ask questions or to get certain information in our native language. All staff speaks perfect English so I had an opportunity to improve my English as well!!!! The island itself is very clean, green and stunning. Even better than in pictures. Separately, we want to say thank you for the chiefs of the Hotel restaurants (Spice, Sunset, Tepanyaki, Just Veg) for their absolutely delicious food and amazing tastes. I never ever have eaten those delicious PUMPKIN CURRY and all other dishes from pumpkin!!!!! Don’t want to forget to emphasize the variety of seafood, exotic fruits and fried vegetables. I’ll not be able to express all our appreciation to all Hotel Staff and especially to Aliya, Abdulla, Sunanda, Ram, Mei, Villu, Madhan, Usam and others. We will be back for sure!!! Already miss all of you. Read less
