Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma Maldives is marking February with its fourth annual Month of Love celebration, inviting couples to place romance at the centre of their island escape. Throughout the month, Valentine’s Day is observed every day, with a programme that blends romantic dining, wellness experiences, proposals, and shared adventures set against the natural surroundings of the Maldives. Island Romance packages are available from US$548++ per villa per night for two.
At Kandooma, romance is presented in a contemporary and personal style. The Month of Love is designed to allow couples to shape their stay according to their own milestones and preferences, whether celebrating a proposal, renewing vows, or simply reconnecting. Experiences range from quiet beachside moments to distinctive underwater proposals, starting from US$3,500++ per couple, and seaside elopements from US$950++ per couple. Each offering is intended to be meaningful, relaxed, and reflective of each couple’s individual story.
Dining is a central element of the Month of Love programme. During February, couples can choose from a variety of romantic dining options, including candlelit dinners on the beach, Chef’s Tasting Menus, sunset wine tastings, and specially crafted cocktails designed for two. With carefully curated menus and unhurried settings, each dining experience is positioned as an opportunity for couples to connect and enjoy time together.
Wellness is also featured as a shared experience throughout the Month of Love. At Kandooma Spa by COMO Shambhala, couples can enjoy spa rituals created specifically for two, including the Sweetheart Spa Experience priced at US$275++ per couple. This experience combines time in the steam bath with restorative massages and private relaxation moments. Beyond the spa, wellness activities extend to sunrise and sunset yoga sessions, paddleboard yoga, and the immersive Salt & Sound therapy, all aimed at promoting relaxation, balance, and renewal during the celebration.
In keeping with the island’s character, the Month of Love incorporates movement and adventure as part of the programme. Couples can take part in sunset Jet Ski tours, paddleboard yoga at sunrise or sunset, or private boat excursions to explore nearby reefs and lagoons. Activities such as parasailing over the lagoon and private sandbank picnics add elements of exploration and shared discovery to the experience.
Preserving these moments is presented as an important aspect of the Month of Love. Couples have the option to book professional photography services, including drone photography and underwater videography. A dedicated couples’ beach photoshoot, lasting approximately 45 minutes and conducted at selected island locations, is also available. Photography packages can be booked separately, with prices starting from USD 225++ per couple.
Accommodation during the Month of Love caters to couples seeking privacy and comfort. Options include overwater villas positioned above the lagoon, featuring open ocean views, direct water access, and signature hammocks suspended above the sea, as well as beachfront villas and beach houses surrounded by lush island greenery. These accommodations provide a comfortable base for couples to enjoy the celebration at their own pace, with close proximity to the marine environment.
The Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma Maldives Island Romance package is structured to deliver a seamless romantic island stay. The package includes accommodation with daily dining for two at Kandooma Café, the resort’s international buffet restaurant, along with in-villa welcome amenities. Couples can also enjoy selected romantic experiences during their stay, such as a beach picnic lunch, breakfast in bed, and a private beachfront dinner set-up. For certified divers, the package additionally includes dive experiences. Island Romance packages start from US$548++ per villa per night for two, with a minimum stay of three nights.
