Why guests love itWe picked Kandolhu for a child-free anniversary trip rather than a family holiday, and the five restaurants on such a small island meant we never ran out of dinner options in a week. The house reef right off our villa turned into a daily ritual, and staff learned our coffee order by day two, the kind of attention that only really works on a resort this size. Worth knowing: with only thirty villas, this suits couples more than large groups.
