Waris's pickFrom a Maldivian editor in Malé
Kaani Village & Spa
If you're picking one place on Maafushi and you want a guesthouse that feels like a small resort — pool, spa, proper kitchen — this is what I'd book. The Kaani family has been running guesthouses on this island for years. Their food is the best on the local-island circuit, and their excursion partners are the ones I send my own friends through. — Waris
