Maafushi is one of the islands in Maldives with a thriving local economy. With the government regulation allowing opening of Guest Houses in local islands, Maafushi was the first to secure an investment in tourism accommodation. The first guest house was opened in January 2010, and since then, many more have opened and they have provided the local community with foreign currency inflows. The island boasts a magnificent view of the turquoise lagoon stretched into the Indian Ocean. The people of Maafushi are known for their hospitality and affability towards their guests.
The climate is tropical, with plenty of sunshine and temperatures around 30°C throughout the year. Although the humidity is relatively high, the constant sea breezes help to keep the air moving. Two seasons dominate Maldives’ weather: the dry season which is the northeast monsoon and the rainy season or southwest monsoon from April – October, with rainfall increasing particularly from June to August. The annual rainfall averages 2,540 millimeters (100 in) in the north and 3,810 millimeters (150 in) in the south.
During your stay in any of the Kaani hotels you will be able to experience an affordable holiday to the Maldives which will more than exceed your expectations thanks to the copious amounts of fun in the sun, stretches of palm studded paradise beaches, crystal clear waters and breathtaking views of Maafushi.
Getting to Maafushi is relatively easier than getting to most other islands of Maldives. In addition to a public boat ferry (1hr 30mins) that goes every day, speed boat ferries (25 mins) go back and forth to Maafushi every few hours.
