Had a lovely stay at Kinan Boutique. It’s a very modern boutique hotel that’s maintained very well. The staff are very attentive and showed initiative in trying to make our stay as enjoyable as can be. Would rate our stay a 10/10

Kinan boutique is an excellent hotel with tastefully decorated rooms. Their restaurant (a few minutes walk away) serves delicious food. Highly recommend it for a lovely stay in Fulidhoo.

The hotel is newly opened, with clean and bright rooms. The balcony overlooks the sea, and the waters right across are great for snorkeling. The only issue is the showerhead in the bathroom—it tends to tilt to odd angles on its own, and water can easily splash outside the shower area. Housekeeping comes daily to clean the room. For breakfast, you need to go to the older property; at the new one, it’s mostly self-service and you rarely see staff around.

We didn’t stay at Kinan, but was recommended by chance or other guests in the same hotel we stayed. So We went on 2 excursions with Kinan Beach club. Shark, turtle, Dolphin excursion team was outstanding and professional. They ensure everyone safety. The lady guide and the other guy took very nice photos and video. Everyone was so helpful. It was memorable. 2 thumbs up.
