Two flagship properties of Kaani Hotels & Resorts — Kaani Palm Beach and Kaani Grand Seaview — have secured a spot among the world’s top 10% accommodations in the 2025 Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice™ Awards.
The announcement marks a proud milestone for the Maafushi-based hospitality group, reinforcing the growing appeal of the local island tourism model that blends affordability with luxury. Based entirely on genuine traveller reviews and ratings, the annual Tripadvisor award recognizes establishments that consistently deliver exceptional guest experiences.
Kaani Grand Seaview, one of Maafushi’s best-loved beachfront hotels, has earned praise for its spacious rooms, direct ocean access, and a warm atmosphere that showcases Maldivian hospitality. Guests have highlighted the property’s prime location and high service standards as key reasons behind their repeat visits.
Meanwhile, Kaani Palm Beach — the group’s flagship luxury property — has distinguished itself with sweeping ocean views, a rooftop infinity pool, and amenities such as the signature Sampa Spa and conference hall. The hotel has become a popular choice for honeymooners, digital nomads, and business travelers seeking a serene yet well-equipped island escape.
Speaking about the recognition, Abdulla Nasheed, CEO and Managing Director of Kaani Hotels & Resorts, expressed his gratitude. “This honour is a testament to the dedication of our team and the heartfelt feedback from our valued guests,” he said. “It motivates us to push the boundaries of service excellence in the Maldivian hospitality industry.”
The 2025 Travellers’ Choice Awards celebrate businesses that maintain a strong reputation through consistently positive guest feedback. With this double recognition, Kaani Hotels continues to affirm Maafushi’s position on the global tourism map — as an island that offers both charm and comfort without compromise.
As the Maldives adapts to evolving traveller expectations, Kaani Hotels & Resorts remains committed to delivering authentic, accessible luxury that keeps guests returning year after year.
