This summer my family and I decided to travel somewhere we have always wanted to go. Maldives! My husband searched the web, checked reviews and we found the best deal and location with Atmosphere Kanifushi.

We flew Turkish Airlines from Washington D.C. to Istanbul. Stayed for 4 days and then flew out to Male Airport in Maldives. The resort picked us up and took us to a cool waiting area and served us drinks and snacks while we waited for the seaplane. It was a 30 minute flight to the island filled with a wonderful view of the islands below.

Here is a view of the island between docking port/pier and the main office. They had a fish feeding at 5pm which gave us the opportunity to see many different kids of fish, turtles, and sting rays.

The view was just as amazing at sunset.

We booked the Sunset Family Villa with a king size bed and 2 singles for the kids. Having the Platinum plus package meant Drinks, meals, snacks, snorkeling trips, were all included. We dined at Spice, Liquid, The Sunset, Just Veg, and Ceylon Bliss. We even had our mini fridge stocked twice a day with chocolates, soda, water, and juice. We don't drink alcohol but the resort went out of their way to make sure we had plenty of other options like snacks, tea and coffee. They also delivered fresh fruits to the room every morning.

Our room was right on the beach and we had our own personal space. They even had staff come by with drinks and snacks every few hours while we enjoyed a swim.

The island was filled with interested spots to take pictures at too. Even though it was a small island, it was about 2 km from end to end. On days where we stuffed ourselves from the buffet, we were glad they had a buggy to get us back to the room!

My favorite part was the snorkeling trips they had twice a day and included in the package. We went 3 times. Just a reminder to bring a Go Pro and your charging cables. We forgot ours in Turkey but another guest offered to let us borrow his.

Of course, we also had the couples Bali massage at the island's spa. It was an amazing experience. Our kids enjoyed the back and feet massage as well.

Truly we had an amazing time with the Atmosphere Kanifushi resort. Everyone spoke English. We loved the food, the activities, the service, and I mean everything! It is one of the few islands that is family friendly, having a day care service, and is all inclusive at an affordable rate. I hope you have the chance to visit the Maldives and let me know how you liked it!
