We are about to visit the Maldives during beginning May 2010, just before the monsoon period arrives in June. We decided to try out a little island hopping experience, in order to experience more than just one of these stunning islands. We have chosen our two favourite islands in the Maldives – that is if you are looking at great value for money, but still have the experience of a lifetime, as obviously there are many exclusive luxury 5* resorts to choose from, but for now, we will focus on the great value-for-money options – the resorts that appeal to most visitors tastes, expectations and of course, their budget. Our choices was naturally 4* Sun Island and 4* Club Med Kani.
Below is a summary of each resort’s information. A detailed update will be published upon our return from the Maldives in a month’s time.
Sun Island is located within the South Ari Atoll, 107kilometers south of Hulhule International Airport and 30 minutes by seaplane.
The resort offers a wide variety of accommodation to cater for different tastes from and the room categories varies from Deluxe rooms to Water Bungalows build on stilts over the water. The resort also offers all the necessary facilities you would expect from a good 4*.
