Club Med: Kani

Category Type Village for everyone Season Summer Show prices

The immensity of space, beauty and silence reigns over this tiny island, where the Indian Ocean seems to be yours alone. There are places on earth where the view is so grand and so simple that you don't want to sleep. Kani, a little garden island in the middle of the Indian Ocean, is one of them, where sea and sky come together in an infinity of blue. Contemplate the view from the Lagoon Suites* on stilts over the water, reached by wooden pontoons. Like a watercolour sketch, it hints at the multi-coloured spectacle awaiting divers in the Maldives' famous ocean depths.

The impressive diversity of fish along the coral reefs is as exotic as the luxury treatments available at the Club Med Spa, with its perfumed atmosphere and tropical surroundings.

Fast boat excursions will reveal the secrets of the surrounding islands.

In this very special setting, discover a serenity you have never known. You'll be amazed how well beauty suits you.
