Maldives Beachfront Residences: Where Lifestyle Meets Yield

By Dengiz Kursat, Avertiss International

 

If you love the Maldives for its turquoise lagoons and white-sand beaches, here’s the part most travelers don’t see: it’s also a smart, low-friction way to put capital to work in a world-class leisure market. Today I’m opening up a limited, investor-grade opportunity to own beachfront residences inside a leading resort on Kandima Island (Dhaalu Atoll)—fully furnished, fully managed, and designed to deliver both personal enjoyment and income.

 

Why the Maldives for investment?

  • Global demand, limited supply: Island geography naturally caps new beachfront inventory.
  • Tier-one leisure destination: Consistent, international guest flow supports healthy occupancy.
  • Hands-off operations: Resort management runs the full hospitality stack—so you don’t have to.

 

The opportunity (in one glance)

  • Ownership: Strata-title (long-lease) structure that supports foreign ownership.
  • Income model (choose your path):
    • Guaranteed return: 6% net per year for 5 years (pre-tax, net of expenses), or
    • Revenue share: 50% of net rental revenue with professional resort management.
  • Personal use: 30 days per year for owners, including up to 7 days during the festive peak.
  • Turnkey: Fully furnished with contemporary interiors; hotel team handles bookings, guests, and maintenance.
  • Lifestyle: Owners-only pool & clubhouse plus full access to the resort’s spa, dive & watersports, 10+ dining venues, gym, kids’ club, sports arena, and even a 24/7 medical clinic.
  • Residency upside: 5-year Maldives residency visa available for qualified owners (terms apply).
  • Access: Approximately 40 minutes by seaplane from Malé International Airport.

 

Bottom line: You’re buying a high-utility beachfront asset that you can use every year, while a professional operator keeps it earning when you’re not there.

 

Residences & layouts

 

Two thoughtfully planned formats—each oriented to capture the lagoon:

  • 2-Bedroom Residences — ~202 m²

Expansive indoor-outdoor living with a generous terrace; ideal for couples, small families, or dual-use (owner + rental).

  • 3-Bedroom Residences — ~252 m²

Grand proportions, three en-suite bedrooms, vast entertaining space, and sweeping ocean views.

 

Both come fully furnished (contemporary design) and ready for immediate inclusion in the rental program at handover.

 

Life on Kandima: the best of both worlds

 

Wake to the sound of the water, step onto the sand, then choose your day: lounging at the residents-only beachfront pool, a private beach club lunch, a sunset yoga session, reef diving, or a chef’s-table dinner. With full resort access, your residence functions like a private home and a five-star escape.

 

Owner-exclusive facilities

  • Beachfront infinity pool & sun deck
  • Private restaurant/bar and deli café
  • Residents’ gym and games lounge
  • Dedicated on-island concierge & community events

 

Resort amenities (highlights)

  • 10+ restaurants & bars (from grill house to destination dining)
  • esKape Spa, 24/7 fitness, yoga platforms
  • Aquaholics dive school & watersports center
  • Kids club, art studio, sports courts, and a 24/7 medical clinic

 

Ownership, management & visa—made simple

  • Registered strata title on a long-lease basis, recorded with the Ministry of Tourism.
  • Single point of management: the resort operator oversees marketing, reservations, guest services, and technical maintenance.
  • Income distributions: paid on a defined schedule per the rental management agreement.
  • Residency: investors may qualify for a renewable 5-year Maldives residency visa (owner and immediate family), subject to program rules.

 

Who this is perfect for

  • Yield-plus-use investors who want an asset that pays and a place they’ll actually enjoy.
  • Global citizens seeking a lifestyle base with a residency option.
  • Portfolio diversifiers looking for tangible, internationally desirable beachfront exposure under professional management.

 

FAQs

 

Is the 6% a headline or net figure?

It’s net of expenses (pre-tax) and applies for the first 5 years under the guaranteed program (terms apply).

 

What if I prefer upside to a fixed return?

Select the 50% net revenue share route and participate directly in rental performance managed by the resort operator.

 

How many days can I use my residence?

30 days per year for personal use, including up to 7 days during the festive peak period (typically 22 Dec–15 Jan).

 

Can foreign buyers legally own here?

Yes—through a strata-title, long-lease structure registered with the authorities.

 

Is everything really turnkey?

Yes. The residences are delivered fully furnished and integrated into the on-island management program for true lock-and-leave ownership.
