We were picked up at the Velana airport after an overnight stay at the local island, with transfer fee of $40 USD per person to take the speedboat to Fulidhoo, where Kinan Retreat is at.
After alighting from the jetty at Fulidhoo, it's a short 5 mins walk to the Retreat. Welcome drinks and hot hand towels were offered.
We missed the morning excursion trip but decided to go for it the next day. The room provided can have an extra bed for $15 USD. Fulidhoo is a small local island but it's the favorite hangout for stingrays and nurse sharks. You will be able to spot these lovely creatures around the shore, especially near evening time when there are people who start feeding them. You will be able to get up close and even touch them, but with caution.
We went on an evening fishing trip that cost $45 USD per person, inclusive of a BBQ dinner for the dishes that were caught.
On the next day before leaving for our resort island stay, we took the excursion trip to see dolphins, snorkeling with nurse sharks at SharkPoint and went turtle spotting, all these for $40 USD per person. Underwater videos were captured and shared by WhatsApp. Great service by the counter lady Shahidah.
I will recommend this Retreat to visitors, and you will not be disappointed with the time spent on the island.
Останавливались в этом отеле на три ночи Это тихое и уютное место для отдыха с семьей. Персонал отеля супер позитивный и отзывчивый. По прибытии нас встретил сотрудник отеля и помог донести наши чемоданы до номера. В отеле нам дали приветственный напиток и холодные полотенца. В номере все показали и рассказали и проводили нас на пляж. В номере было чисто и у нас уборка была каждый день. Завтраки и ужины у нас были в формате шведского стола, но еда очень вкусная. На пляже плавали с маской и трубкой и видели много красивых рыбок, а на берегу крабиков. При выселении помогли организовать трансфер до следующего острова.
很喜歡這裏 一下船就騎着三輪車🛺來接我們 這邊的人服務很熱情 我的房卡4次鎖房間都很快地幫我打開 爬上爬下很辛苦 第二天我們出海 就我們兩個人他也帶我們去看鯊魚 還拍了很多照片 和視頻 一直為我們拍 預訂下一個酒店的人沒來接我們還是他送的我們 有一個小哥特別好 名字叫shariq 幫我們拍了超多好看的視屏 非常滿意
As soon as I got off the boat, I rode a tricycle 🛺 to pick up the people on my side and the service was very warm. My room card was locked 4 times and the room was quickly opened for me. It was very hard to climb up and down The guy who booked the next hotel didn't show up to pick us up, but he dropped us off and we had a really nice little guy named shariq who made so many great videos for us

AAlphaprimeroWe moved from the beach villa to our overwater jacuzzi water villa with ease
Upon reaching the room, we loved the view where you'll be able to see sunrise on the left side and the sunset on the right of it.
Tried out the jacuzzi pool, swam around our overwater villa throughout the afternoon. We brought bread from the meals and fed the fishes that were always around the villa. During low tide, you could even stand in the water under the overwater villa with fishes swimming around you, all the time. Once in a while, you may see a solo nurse shark swim nearby.
The pictures taken are so Instagram-able . Really enjoyed our stay at this resort.
After meals, will play at the pool table, air hockey, play darts and table futsal. My son also paid a visit to the gym. There is an Ameera Spa just behind the main dining hall.
