Club Med Finolhu Villas

Club Med Les Villas de Finolhu at a glance

Club Med Les Villas de Finolhu occupies a 5-hectare private islet of coral sand next to Kani, in North Malé Atoll, in the Maldives, about 30 minutes by boat from Malé airport. Classified entirely as Exclusive Collection, it has just 52 villas, over the water or on the beach, each with its own private pool and a dedicated butler. Reserved for guests aged 8 and up, it is the ideal address for a honeymoon or a couple's getaway. The package includes meals, the bar, sailing, glass-bottom kayaking, snorkelling and sunset yoga. The resort is open all year, from September 25, 2026 to November 27, 2027 without a break.

When is Les Villas de Finolhu open?

All year: the resort welcomes guests from September 25, 2026 to November 27, 2027, with no closure. You can aim for the holidays, Quebec spring break, Easter on March 28, 2027 or a honeymoon in May or June. The dry season, roughly December to April, brings the calmest seas and clearest skies. The rest of the year, days stay warm, around 30 °C, with tropical showers that are often brief and even greener vegetation.

How do you get to Les Villas de Finolhu from Quebec?

You leave from Montreal or Quebec City with one or two connections, most often in Europe or the Middle East, to Malé International Airport. The islet is 22 km away: a private boat transfer takes you there in about thirty minutes, and your butler welcomes you on arrival. Your advisor books the flights, the transfer and, if you wish, a stopover night so you arrive rested.

What is the islet of Finolhu like?

Finolhu means « sandbank » in Dhivehi, and that is exactly what it is: a 5-hectare ribbon of white sand set on the lagoon, covered in dense vegetation that keeps the villas out of sight. There are 52 villas for a maximum of 104 guests: you see few people, and everyone has private access to the ocean. The resort is Green Globe certified, and 6,000 m² of solar panels supply a good share of its electricity.

Which villa should you choose at Les Villas de Finolhu?

Every villa has its own private pool. The 168 m² Beach Villas come in two orientations: « Sunrise », for one to three people, and « Sunset », for one to four people, with the sun sinking into the lagoon at the end of the day. The Overwater Villas, in two categories, open directly onto the turquoise water, with a ladder to climb down for a swim. For a honeymoon, your advisor helps you choose between sand under your feet and water under your terrace.

Why is it a resort for couples?

The resort welcomes guests from age 8 and is devoted entirely to calm and to grown-ups. A butler looks after you from start to finish: booking the spa, a table, an outing at sea. The pace is slow, the evenings are intimate, and you have the beach, the pool and the lagoon almost to yourselves. For a honeymoon or a wedding anniversary, it is one of the most romantic Club Med resorts anywhere.

Which activities are included in the package?

The package focuses on the water and well-being: sailing, glass-bottom kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, including pedal boards, snorkelling and a marked underwater trail to observe the reef. For relaxation, there is yoga, paddleboard yoga at sunset and meditation. To stay active, there is padel, tennis, beach tennis, cardio, billiards and even the flying trapeze. Cooking demonstrations round out the program. PADI diving, group surf outings and the spa are extra.

Can you enjoy Club Med Kani during your stay?

Yes. A shuttle boat links Finolhu to Club Med Kani about ten times a day, from morning until late in the evening. In a few minutes, you go from the calm of your villa to the buzz of a large resort: its restaurants, bars, shows and sports facilities. You get the best of both islands, and you come home to sleep in silence.

What is the food like at Les Villas de Finolhu?

Meals and drinks are included. The resort's restaurant, open onto the lagoon, serves refined cuisine with Indian Ocean flavours, and the bar mixes cocktails and drinks all day, next to the pool. Your butler can arrange a meal in your villa. In the Maldives, the law allows alcohol to be served to foreign visitors, and it is part of the package.

What is there to do around the resort?

The excursions, at extra cost, are done in small groups. You can visit Malé, the capital, with its fish market and old coral-stone mosque, set off by catamaran for a lobster picnic or ride a jet ski to a sandbank at sunset. Divers book outings on the reef walls of North Malé Atoll, among the richest in the country.

Finolhu or Kani: which one to choose?

Finolhu means a villa with a private pool, a butler and the calm of a 52-villa islet. Kani means the life of a large resort, kids' clubs and the La Manta overwater suites. Couples and travellers aged 8 and up who want privacy choose Finolhu. To compare with Mauritius or the Seychelles, see all our Club Med resorts in Asia and the Indian Ocean.
