Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas
At Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas, enter a world where natural simplicity and seamless luxury are surrounded by 360-degrees of idyllic private beach, which leads you into the fresh cerulean waters and the colourful house reef. Here you will feel captivated by the resort’s delicate combination of privacy, elegance and charming island life.
Whether you choose a villa on the beach or over water, all come with a private pool and exude local charm, earthy tones and delicate furnishings. Semi open-air bathrooms allow you to soak in a sunken tub as the sun sets overhead, or sway carefree in your hammock suspended above the glistening ocean. Refresh with a tropical cocktail or casual lunch at the swim-up pool bar, Manzaru, and close the day sinking into the comfort of a daybed as the stars emerge like fireflies.
Enjoy a romantic candlelit dinner at Plates, with its tantalising selection of Maldivian dishes or five metres under water at Sea, where you can sample delicious cuisine as colourful marine life glide past your table. Bold aromas and gourmet flair permeate all of the one-of-a-kind over- and underwater dining concepts, with Sea, Fire, Salt and Sky each offering something different. At Sky you can also stargaze through the Maldives’ most powerful telescope, as the ‘Sky Guru’ shares his astrology knowledge. Immerse in soothing treatments at the Anantara Spa, go swimming with the mighty manta rays, partake in the many exciting watersports, enjoy a game of tennis or try boxing as kids enjoy hours of fun at the Thiththi Boli Kids Club.
New Coral Reef Book
Anantara has just launched ‘Wonders of Kihavah’, a gorgeous new book based on two years of extensive reef assessment and scientific study – the first of its kind carried out by a resort in the Maldives. Combining stunning visuals with a compelling narrative, the book both quantifies the rich biodiversity of the reef (an astounding 300 species of fish and marine creatures) and highlights the vital role that reef systems play in our planet’s wellbeing.
