The editorial take
Why Kaani Village & Spa
Kaani Village & Spa is the most resort-feeling guesthouse on Maafushi — pool deck, full spa, in-house dive school, and a kitchen that runs proper half-board dinners rather than a single-line buffet. 30 rooms across two buildings, sister property Kaani Beach Hotel a block over for the bikini-beach access. Best for couples and small families who want guesthouse pricing with spa-and-pool extras. Skip it for true backpacker rates; Kaani Village sits at the top of Maafushi's guesthouse range.
