Dining Guide for Club Med The Finolhu Villas

Finolhu Villas guests access 11 venues across two islands — The Motu and Poolside Bar on-property, plus Club Med Kani's full lineup via included speedboat transfers. The Motu shifts from buffet to fine-dining à la carte at dinner. The Kandu at Kani requires reservations and is worth booking for the lobster menu. In-villa floating breakfast is a butler service available every morning.
