How it comparesGrand Park Kodhipparu
PremiumUltra-luxury
Closest to MaléFurthest
Good reefExceptional reef

The short speedboat ride makes it one of the easiest islands to reach after a long flight, with no seaplane timings to plan around. Every villa category except the lagoon and ocean water villas has a private pool, and the Grand Residence gives families two bedrooms over the water.

The verdict

Who it suits, and who it doesn’t.

What to know before booking

Choose Reef Pool Water Villas for the easiest access to the house reef. The island has three restaurants, so an all-inclusive or full-board plan suits longer stays; Firedoor is the dinner-only grill.

Who it isn’t for

Travellers who want a large choice of restaurants or a remote atoll far from Malé traffic. Kuramathi Maldives offers far more dining, and Cinnamon Velifushi Maldives is further out.
