Kandima Maldives Triumphs with Family Travel Award at Prestigious London Event
Kandima Maldives, a popular family resort, has been honored with the Family Activities & Entertainment award at the esteemed Family Traveller Awards 2026. The event, organized by Family Traveller — a leading UK-based family travel brand, was held on September 11, 2026, at the scenic riverside venue, The Swan, located on London’s South Bank. The ceremony attracted a multitude of entries spanning 19 categories, including hotels, villas, cruise lines, tour operators, and destinations.
The award recipients were chosen by an independent panel of family travel journalists who shortlisted the finalists. The ultimate winners were then determined by thousands of public votes. Kandima’s award is a testament to their years of dedicated efforts to make the Maldives a family-friendly destination. Their initiatives range from developing purpose-built island infrastructure to offering flexible room rate options and organizing a packed year-round events calendar. Notable attractions that contributed to Kandima’s reputation include Fast Track, the Maldives’ longest and fastest asphalt go-karting circuit, and PlaySpace, a family entertainment hub offering gaming, thematic escape rooms, and VR experiences.
The resort’s 2026 Summer Kamp programme, centered around the themes of “Play, Create, Move”, also attracted international sports personalities, creative performers, and artists to the island. This further enhanced Kandima’s status as a dynamic family destination. This latest accolade adds to Kandima’s growing list of achievements and highlights the Maldives’ increasing appeal beyond its iconic beaches, drawing families, sports enthusiasts, and adventure seekers from all corners of the world.
