Atmosphere Kanifushi has once again earned top recognition at the World Travel Awards, securing the title of ‘Indian Ocean’s Leading Family Resort’ for the sixth consecutive year in 2025. The accolade marks another significant milestone for the Maldivian resort, further solidifying its reputation as a premier destination for families seeking a blend of relaxation and adventure.

General Manager Ram Bhoyroo described the award as a tremendous honour, crediting the island’s appeal to its ability to strike a balance between tranquil seclusion and lively activities. While some resorts in the Maldives cater specifically to couples or high-energy partygoers, Atmosphere Kanifushi embraces a philosophy of ‘equilibrium’—offering something for both romantic travelers and active families.

Set on a long natural island, the resort is framed by lush vegetation and surrounded by a vivid turquoise lagoon. Bhoyroo noted that this balance is not only a gift of nature but also the result of the team’s dedication. Achieving such consistent recognition, he said, requires relentless effort and passion. The resort's staff are committed to delivering a personalised experience, tailoring service to guests of all ages with a focus on excellence, leisure, and adventure. The goal, he explained, is to make every guest feel like a castaway in paradise—where both serenity and excitement coexist seamlessly.

Known for having one of the highest guest return rates in the Maldives, Atmosphere Kanifushi continuously innovates to exceed expectations with every visit. From introducing fresh culinary offerings to staging live performances, the resort ensures each return is met with new experiences. One of the latest enhancements is the launch of the new Essens Spa, representing a major step forward in the resort’s wellness offerings.

Essens Spa introduces a wide-ranging wellness program that includes immersive spa journeys, yoga and detox sessions, and healing rituals, in addition to salon treatments. In line with the resort's inclusive approach to family experiences, the spa also features services designed for younger guests. The Kids Spa Experience offers light-hearted treatments for children, while teen-focused wellness rituals address skincare, growing bodies, and emotional well-being.
