Awarding of TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice Best of the Best Award for the Year 2026 to Canareef Resort Maldives
The Canareef Resort Maldives has entered into the history books by winning the TripAdvisor Travellers' Choice Best of the Best Award in 2026. This award not only has earned its place forever in the history of Canareef Resort Maldives but is also supposed to make memories in the whole southern part of the Maldives. It should be noted that according to TripAdvisor, only thousands out of 8 million resorts across the world win this "Best of the Best" award and it is regarded as the highest form of recognition that one can obtain from TripAdvisor. Out of the 8 million resorts worldwide, only 1,500 – 2,000 are lucky enough to receive this "Best of the Best" distinction.
Certainly, there is no doubt that while Canareef Resort Maldives had already achieved the honor of being awarded the TripAdvisor Travellers' Choice Award in both 2017 and 2023, the current award of Best of the Best is of historical significance. This accolade can be attributed to the passion and commitment shown by everyone at Canareef as well as professionalism in each department. From housekeeping and guest services, culinary and marine activities, all the teams have been instrumental in creating fantastic experiences for the resort’s guests. The accolade not only recognizes the beauty of the resort but the efforts of each and every individual making it a memorable place for visitors. Travellers Have Spoken – Global Recognition Awarded to Canareef. Global recognition awarded to the resort is possible owing to all the reviews submitted by travellers on TripAdvisor. Travelers from all over the world have appreciated the hospitality extended by Canareef, the peacefulness of the setting, and the Maldivian cuisine of the resort. No matter whether the visitors are honeymooners or families, they have found the resort very welcoming, its natural island charm and the fantastic moments that happen at Canareef. It is not uncommon for travellers to find themselves more of a family rather than visitors to Canareef.
At the same time, the accomplishment is also a significant landmark in Addu Atoll, where the Canareef Resort keeps encouraging the visit to the stunning destination with its incredible landmarks such as the British Loyalty shipwreck, Addu Nature Park, and many others including manta ray cleaning stations in the Addu Atoll. "Receiving the Client Satisfaction Award means much for us because it is the recognition from the client's side," stated the General Manager of Canareef Resort Maldives. "This award is a reflection of the dedication, hard work, and effort that went into achieving perfection and excellence on the part of the entire Canareef team. We are thankful to our clients and proud of our victory together with our colleagues."
While other high-end resorts in the vicinity provide their clients with accommodation above water level, Canareef Resort Maldives provides its guests with something special wherein they will have their holiday in an island with wonderful greenery, wide-open spaces, four kilometers of coastline, and a nice reef.
With such a prestigious award received from TripAdvisor, Canareef Resort Maldives extends a welcome invitation to their guests for discovering the beauty of Addu Atoll. It can be easy to visit the resort because it can be reached through domestic and even direct international flights to and from Velana International Airport and Gan International Airport respectively.
