Best mocktail
28 Feb 2025
Bala made us the best mocktail—perfect drink with the perfect view! Refreshing, flavorful, and expertly crafted, it was pure bliss. Sipping it while enjoying the stunning scenery was truly unforgettable. If you ever get the chance, don’t miss out on one of Bala’s signature mocktails. It’s not just a drink—it’s an experience worth savoring!

Tripadvisor Overview
Our contemporary resort is a tropical wonderland, located just a 40 minutes speedboat ride from Velana International Airport Malé. Featuring world-class diving sites and surfing on our doorstep, our spacious villas are dotted around the island and appeal to a wide variety of guests, offering access to the beach, ocean or lagoon. For families, the two- and three-bedroom villas offer ample space for fun and relaxation as you discover Kandooma. Parents can introduce the kids to the thrill of island life through activities such as PADI Bubblemaker, Surf Camps, swimming lessons, and best of all, the Kandoo Kids' Club with a daily activities plan. Along with Holiday Inn®'s "Kids Stay and Eat Free" programme, we provide a tropical adventure that the family will always remember fondly. Six restaurants & bars offer a range of culinary delights for your dining pleasure with themed evenings and private dining options to enhance your stay.
Our ATOL number is T7365 and your protection begins as soon as you’re booked. If a supplier fails, you’ll get your money back, and you can’t get stranded abroad because ATOL ensures you’re brought home at no extra cost.
Payments safeguarded in a Trust Account
The airline is paid when you book and the rest of your payments are held in a trust account, which is controlled by the Travel Trust Association. This is much safer than an ABTA bond, because your money can only be released to pay the suppliers for each element of your holiday, and and your ATOL protection safeguards the whole holiday. Our TTA membership number is U7488.
