Maldivian resorts recognized in international travel awards

Two Maldivian resorts have received recognition in recent travel industry awards. Sirru Fen Fushi, located on Gaakoshibee Island in the Shaviyani Atoll, has been named a finalist in two categories at the 2026 Luxury Lifestyle Magazine Readers’ Travel Awards: Best Hotel for Families and Best Hotel for Sustainability.

The resort emphasizes marine conservation through its Coralarium, an underwater art and coral regeneration project, and offers guests opportunities to participate in coral planting and turtle research. Winners in these categories will be determined by public vote.

Kandima Maldives has won the Family Activities and Entertainment category at the 2026 Family Traveller Awards. The award, presented in London, recognizes the resort for catering to multigenerational travelers through diverse amenities, including a go-karting circuit, an entertainment hub with virtual reality, and nature-based activities like foraging tours.
