Maldives to gain Holiday Inn

HOLIDAY INN RESORT KANDOOMA is to become only the second of the eponymous brand in the Republic of Maldives when the existing hotel is re-named on 1 November 2009.  Holiday Inn recently opened a property on the main island of Malé.  The new 160-room resort is built on Kandooma Island in the South Malé Atoll, which lies 35km south of Malé International Airport, via a 40 minute speedboat ride or a short Twin Otter flight.  Kandooma Island is a favoured tropical isle because of its close proximity to many excellent dive sites.  Sports and recreational facilities at the resort include the Dive Centre, Kandooma Kids' Club, full spa services at the COMO Shambala Spa and three radio channels with resident radio DJs.  Guests can also enjoy activities such as dolphin watching, windsurfing, snorkelling, guided kayak safaris, and underwater hockey. www.ihgplc.com
