Not everyone has a full week to spend chasing the Maldives fantasy — and honestly, you don't need one. 3 Nights Island Romance is built for exactly that: a proper, unhurried taste of the Maldives, beach villa and overwater villa both included, compressed into a trip short enough to fit around a long weekend or a handful of leave days. Two nights settle you in on the sand; your final night lifts you onto the lagoon itself, so you leave having experienced both sides of a Maldives holiday rather than just one.
You'll be staying at Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma, set on its own island in the South Malé Atoll, around 35 km — a scenic 40 to 45-minute speedboat ride — from Velana International Airport. Every meal is covered on a genuine full board basis, so breakfast, lunch, and dinner are sorted from the moment you land to the moment you check out, and both your airport transfers are included as part of the package. You'll also have full run of the resort's pool, gym, and Kids' Club for the length of your stay.
This is the package to book if the four- or five-night Maldives trip has always felt like more time (and budget) than you have to spare, but you still want the real thing — a genuine overwater night, not a compromise. It suits honeymooners after a compact, romantic escape just as well as anyone slotting the Maldives into a longer regional trip or a long weekend off work. Departures run every day of the year, so there's no fixed calendar to work around.
| Inclusion | Details |
|---|---|
| Accommodation | 3 Nights at Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma — 2N Beach Villa + 1N Water Villa |
| Meals | Full board — daily breakfast, lunch & dinner |
| Transfers | Return speedboat transfers from Velana International Airport (Malé) |
| Resort Facilities | Access to pool, gym, and Kids' Club |
| Taxes | 5% GST and 2% TCS applicable on total tour cost |
Your flight lands at Velana International Airport (MLE) in Malé, where the resort's team picks you up for the speedboat crossing to Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma — a relaxed 40 to 45 minutes across the South Malé Atoll that doubles as your first real look at the water you'll be spending the next three days in. Check into your Beach Villa, tucked into the island's greenery just steps from the sand, and let the rest of the day be unstructured: nap off the flight, ease into the beach, or simply walk the island's edge as the light changes. Dinner is served at the resort. Overnight at the Beach Villa.
Breakfast is a proper spread at Kandooma Café, and from there the day is entirely open. Most guests split their time between snorkelling at the island's house reef — close enough to reach without any real effort — and one of the resort's paid extras: jet ski, kayaking, or paddleboarding for the more active, or a session at Kandooma Spa if slowing down further is more the point. Since this is your only full free day on the island, it's worth building in time for the beach at sunset, which is consistently one of the better views on the property. Dinner is served under the stars. Overnight at the Beach Villa.
After breakfast, check out of the Beach Villa and cross over to your Water Villa — the part of the trip most people picture when they imagine the Maldives in the first place. Direct lagoon access, uninterrupted sunrise views, and a private sundeck where the only real decision is whether to swim now or later. Because this is your one night overwater, it's worth making it count: a Sunset Dolphin Cruise or a private beach dinner can both be arranged at extra cost, and either is a genuinely memorable way to close out the trip. Dinner is served at the resort. Overnight at the Water Villa.
An early breakfast, a last look at the lagoon from your deck, and then check-out — followed by your speedboat transfer back to Velana International Airport (Malé) in time for your flight home. Short as the trip is, you'll be leaving with both a beach stay and an overwater night behind you.

The package includes 3 nights at Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma — 2 nights in a Beach Villa and 1 night in a Water Villa — full board meals (breakfast, lunch & dinner daily), return speedboat transfers from Velana International Airport, and access to the resort's pool, gym, and Kids' Club. 5% GST and 2% TCS apply on the total tour cost.
This package is built as a shorter, 3-night trip for travellers who want a genuine overwater experience without committing to a longer stay. You still get a full night in a Water Villa with lagoon access and sunrise views — it's simply proportioned for a shorter, more compact holiday.
This package is available for booking on any day of the year — there are no fixed group departure dates, so you can plan it around a long weekend or whatever schedule suits you.
Holiday Inn Resort Kandooma is reached by a speedboat transfer of approximately 40 to 45 minutes from Velana International Airport, across the South Malé Atoll.
No — this package is strictly non-refundable and non-changeable once booked. Given the shorter trip length, it's especially worth locking in your exact travel dates before booking.
Full board covers breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily at the resort. Beverages beyond the standard meal service, along with alcoholic drinks, are typically charged separately — confirm the exact meal plan terms with your consultant before booking.
No advance visa is required. Indian passport holders receive a free 30-day tourist visa on arrival at Velana International Airport, provided you have a valid passport and onward/return travel booked.
For a genuine first taste of both a beach villa and an overwater villa, yes — this itinerary is built specifically to fit that experience into a short trip. If you'd prefer more leisure time split evenly across both villa types, a longer 4- or 5-night package would give you more room to spread out.
No, these are optional add-ons at extra cost. Snorkelling at the house reef is generally accessible on your own, but jet ski, kayaking, paddleboarding, spa sessions at Kandooma Spa, PADI diving, and the Sunset Dolphin Cruise are all payable separately.
TCS (Tax Collected at Source) at 2% applies on the total tour cost under Indian government regulations for overseas tour packages. It can be claimed as a credit against your income tax liability when filing your returns.
Yes — the compact length, romantic overwater night, and optional add-ons like the Sunset Dolphin Cruise or a private beach dinner make this a natural fit for couples and honeymooners looking for a short, focused escape rather than a longer trip.
You'll receive an email confirmation after your initial payment, but your booking is only fully confirmed once 100% payment is received. Your official booking voucher — including itinerary, hotel vouchers, and activity confirmations — is sent once full payment is completed.
