From the moment you step off the plane, there’s someone there waiting for you. They take you straight onto this speedboat, which was a pretty cool experience as you get to see all the islands go by. Plus, someone gives you a quick rundown of what to expect when you arrive – It’s such a nice, welcoming touch. Check-in was just as smooth – quick and straightforward.
Honestly, the whole process was completely hassle-free, which is such a relief when you’ve been traveling. This was my first time with Club Med, and I’ve got to say, it was hands down the best holiday I’ve ever had. The resort itself is stunning, like nothing I’ve ever seen before. Unless you’ve been to a tropical destination like this, it’s just so different from anything in Europe. The beaches were beautiful, with pure white sand, the bluest water you can imagine, and it’s so clear you can see fish and marine life just swimming around. The island feels like your own private slice of paradise, with lush trees and all kinds of wildlife.
I got really lucky with my room, too. I stayed in a beachfront terrace, and wow, it was incredible. Everything was so clean and comfortable. There was air conditioning and fans, so we were never too hot, and the housekeeping staff came by every day to refresh towels and bring water. The app they provide is so handy because you can use it to request anything you need, like more towels or even fix any issues, straight from your phone. The bathroom was spotless, the shower was great, and the view was unreal. We even had our own little private beach area right in front of the room.
Before I went, a colleague of mine said they thought there wouldn’t be much to do, but they couldn’t have been more wrong. The Club Med app has a full schedule of activities every day, so there’s always something to try. I took advantage of the free snorkelling trips every day and I managed to see so many amazing fish, vibrant coral reefs, and even turtles. If you’re into water sports, there’s kayaking and paddleboarding, which are free, and other activities you can pay for if you want. I also played tennis, did some volleyball, and even joined an Indian cooking class where we learned to make a traditional curry.
The excursions were a huge highlight for me. I did the nurse shark excursion, and honestly, it was one of the coolest things I’ve ever done. The second I jumped in the water, I saw this massive stingray, which was such a surprise. Then they tossed in bait, and suddenly sharks were circling us! It was such a wild and unforgettable experience. I also did a dolphin sunset cruise, which was amazing. Dolphins swam alongside the boat, jumping and playing in the water, and we had champagne. Another unique experience was the marine biology talk. The island has its own marine biologist, and they gave a fascinating presentation about their artificial reef, which helps protect the marine life. Afterwards, we went out to see it, and I even spotted an eel! It’s such a nice mix of fun and learning, and you can tell they really care about the environment.
My top tip? Make the most of all the free stuff! Go on those snorkelling trips every day because you never know what you’ll see. My boyfriend even spotted a manta ray one day, which was incredible. Oh, and if you’re into cocktails, ask the bartenders for a surprise. They’ll make you something totally unique, and every single one I tried was delicious. Honestly, Club Med Kani has everything – whether you want to relax or keep busy. It was the trip of a lifetime, and I’d recommend it to anyone. You won’t regret it!
