Atmosphere Kanifushi Wins 'Maldives Leading Family Resort' for 6th Year at World Travel Awards 2025

Six Years at the Top: Atmosphere Kanifushi Makes Family Travel Iconic

In a stunning affirmation of its legacy, Atmosphere Kanifushi Maldives has once again been named the 'Maldives Leading Family Resort' at the World Travel Awards 2025 — marking its sixth consecutive victory in the category and reaffirming its status as the Maldives' undisputed champion of luxury family holidays.

"This honour is truly special," shared Mr. Ram Bhoyroo, General Manager of Atmosphere Kanifushi. "While the recognition is global, the secret lies in how we've struck the perfect balance between serenity and adventure — offering something exceptional for romantic couples, multigenerational families, and intrepid kids alike."

Where Peace Meets Play: A Philosophy of Balance

At Atmosphere Kanifushi, equilibrium isn't just a buzzword — it's a design principle. Set on a 2-kilometre-long tropical island fringed by the vibrant Lhaviyani Atoll, the resort embraces tranquil luxury while delivering vibrant family entertainment, water sports, and immersive wellness.

Some islands may favour either solitude or social energy. Kanifushi, however, effortlessly blends both — where palm-lined pathways lead to stand-alone beach and lagoon villas, and every family member finds their rhythm, from lazy hammock days to snorkelling adventures and culinary journeys.

Innovation That Keeps Guests Coming Back

In 2025, the spotlight falls on the launch of the Essens Spa — a bold new wellness concept designed to transform relaxation into a journey of self-discovery.

Introducing Essens Spa: Wellness for All Ages

Essens Spa introduces an inclusive wellness philosophy for all generations. Guests can now indulge in:

• Immersive spa journeys
• Yoga and guided detox sessions
• Healing rituals & salon services

For younger guests, the Kids Spa Experience turns wellness into play — offering gentle, fun treatments. Teens, too, benefit from targeted rituals designed to nurture growing bodies, youthful skin, and emotional wellbeing. For those seeking premier wellness destinations, this represents the evolution of family-friendly spa experiences.

All-Inclusive Luxury, Redefined
