The Ultimate Luxury Escape: ‘Best of Maldives’ at Anantara Kihavah

Snorkeling with manta rays. Dining and sipping wine at an underwater restaurant while watching the beautiful marine life. Then, after an exciting day, retreating into the blissful seclusion of a beach pool villa or overwater pool villa. Is this your vision of a perfect island escape? Make your dreams come true with the ‘Best of Maldives’ experience package, only from Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas.

The resort’s ‘Best of Maldives’ package encapsulates the greatest Maldivian adventures and enchantingly immersive experiences.

Retreat into the seclusion of your luxury pool villa

Because every dream escape requires the perfect hideaway, the ‘Best of Maldives’ experience package offers a choice of accommodation options.

Choose from either the exclusive seclusion of a Beach Pool Villa nestled amidst lush vegetation along a pristine stretch of the private beach, or the fantastical experience of an Over Water Pool Villa perched over the crystal-clear lagoon with panoramic ocean views.

Both options boast a large infinity-edge pool, dining area, spacious wooden sundeck and lounging areas complete with swinging daybed and sun loungers. Each villa also features his and hers walk-in wardrobes, rain showers, outdoor showers and over-sized bathtubs big enough for two.

A sunken glass-bottom bathtub in the overwater pool villas offers a mesmerizing view of the sparkling ocean beneath. To further enhance the experience of luxury and pampered seclusion, all villas are serviced by a personal Villa Host 24 hours a day.

Family-friendly accommodation

Families looking for a paradise island adventure will find ample opportunity to share magical bonding moments in the spacious abode provided by Anantara Kihavah’s family-style villas.

The 412 sqm-Two Bedroom Family Beach Pool Villa has a king and twin bedroom, both of which include a day bed, en suite bathroom, and fully equipped refreshment center and wine fridge. Stepping outside, the whole family can cool off together in the 12-meter swimming pool that runs alongside the extensive outdoor sun terrace, or exchange tales of their adventures over meals on the shaded dining sala or outdoor barbecue pit with a sunken dining lounge.

Ideally suited for families with young children, the One Bedroom Family Beach Pool Villa features separate sleeping quarters suitable for kids under 12 years old. The freshly redesigned villas encapsulate a light and airy atmosphere making a cozy space for families to unwind.

Both beach hideaways have a private pathway providing direct access to the powder white sand and aqua-hued waters of the Indian Ocean.

Indulge your senses at SEA Underwater Restaurant

A magical dining experience immersed in the waters overlooking the best coral house reef in the Maldives is hard to beat.

As part of the Best of Maldives experience, Anantara Kihavah takes you six meters beneath the waves into SEA, the resort’s award-winning underwater restaurant and wine cellar. SEA is home to over 450 labels and vintages more than 180 years old.

Ideally located at the edges of Anantara Kihavah’s famed house reef, the restaurant serves up an exceptional feast for the senses as you savor a gourmet four-course lunch, whilst marveling at the panoramic views of marine life at play amongst the vibrant corals of the reef.

Immerse yourself in the majestic world of manta rays

Another truly spectacular ‘Best of Maldives’ experience is snorkeling with majestic manta rays. The annual migration of manta rays is truly amazing to witness as they gather en masse to feed at Hanifaru Bay during the season. Snorkel in the water for a breathtaking encounter with these gentle giants as they glide effortlessly below you with their graceful movements and amusing somersaults.

Situated within the Baa Atoll, a renowned UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, Anantara Kihavah is the perfect place for underwater explorations as the best house reef in the Maldives encircles the island’s entire perimeter. Straight from the beach or from the steps of the over water villas, the colorful world of corals and spectacular undersea fauna is waiting to be explored beneath the crystal-clear waters.
