There’s hardly a more breathtaking spot to mark a milestone birthday with your closest friends than Club Med Kani in the Maldives. This stunning private island seamlessly combines relaxation, thrilling water activities, and vibrant marine encounters.
One of our Travel Specialists Narelle and six of her girlfriends just spent eight wonderful nights in this beautiful part of the world. The Maldives is a tropical paradise located in the Indian Ocean, southwest of Sri Lanka and India. Club Med Kani and its sister property Club Med Finolhu, are two island resorts that can be found amongst the 26 atolls, which are made up of over 1,000 coral islands. It is just a short 35 minute speedboat ride from Malé Airport and Singapore Airlines made the flight so easy with flights from Brisbane through Singapore, and then direct into Malé.
At the resort, you’ll find a blend of Superior Rooms, Deluxe Rooms, and the opulent Overwater Suites, complete with their own private beach and lounge bar. Narelle had the privilege of experiencing all three room types during her stay, so feel free to ask her any questions you may have.
A myriad of activities awaits, catering to both land and water enthusiasts. Whether it’s the thrill of swinging on the trapeze, practicing yoga, the camaraderie of beach volleyball, or the tranquillity of a morning power walk along the island’s pristine white sandy beaches, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Perhaps snorkelling in the turquoise waters or surfing the surrounding breaks is your passion, or you prefer gliding across the water on a catamaran or paddle board. And for those seeking ultimate relaxation, unwind on a sunset cruise as the sun dips below the horizon over the Indian Ocean.
Club Med Kani welcomes singles, couples, groups, and families with open arms. Children can always be spotted enjoying a multitude of activities with the staff all around the resort, and the kids’ club is available for children as young as two years old (soon to be six months). With a selection of restaurants and bars, you’ll always find something to satisfy your appetite or quench your thirst, giving you all the more reason to indulge in the activities available.
With exceptional staff in such a breathtaking location, among the 11 different Club Med Resorts Narelle has visited, this one undoubtedly stands out as a favourite. She can’t wait to bring her family here to experience its wonders.

Favourite Ski Resort / Ski Town
My favourite would be Club Med Yabuli in northern China. With four kids in tow, it was such a luxury to be able to ski/snowboard all day, knowing that the kids were safe and happy with the Club Med GO’s. If they didn’t feel like being on the slopes, they were busy in the kids club, or scaling the rock climbing wall or swinging on the trapeze.
Sun Holiday Bucket List
It has always been the Maldives, so with Club Med Kani booked for 2024, my new Bucket List destination would be Club Med Seychelles.
Favourite Club Med Resort
My favourite would be Club Med Guilin in China. Set amongst the stunning limestone karst mountains, this resort has something for everyone. Trapeze inside and out, rock climbing inside and out, bicycles for exploring the resort and surrounds, foot golf, archery, swimming, tennis, basketball, cooking classes, tai chi, yoga…..the list goes on. And my kids would tell you it has one of the best buffets they’ve seen in any Club Med resort.
Recommended Experience
If you ever get the opportunity, visiting the North Pole is a must. We took our girls to meet Santa in Äkäslompolo, Finland, spending the most magical Christmas in a log cabin in the Finnish forest.
