Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas

The spacious and luxurious overwater villas provide unparalleled privacy, stunning views, and impeccable cleanliness. Guests appreciate the wide variety of delicious breakfast options and exceptional service from attentive staff.

We would define this accommodation with the word Excellence in all aspects. The human talent of this tourist complex makes this word stand out. We have no observations or complaints. On the contrary, we thank everyone who made our dream possible, especially our host Jambe who organized many of our surprises in the room and Saiph who took care of every detail of our room. It exceeded our expectations.

We stayed at Anantara for our Honeymoon and it was definitely a good choice: - Arrival: after our arrival in Malé we were immediately greeted by someone from the hotel who took our bags and guided us to a car that took us straight to the airport lounge. In the lounge there's some drinks and snacks and the opportunity to take a shower (which feels very refreshing after long travel). Shortly we were taken to our seaplane. Views are beautiful! Once arrived in the hotel we were taken to the island with a speedboot, where we were greeted by the staff with music. The arrival was so smooth, and before we knew it we arrived in our villa. - Villa: We booked an overwater villa. For our honeymoon there was a bottle of champagne as a welcome drink. The villa is beautiful and spacious, with views of the sea everywhere. We had villa 204 which we found perfect! It's located on the right side, where the wind and sea is much calmer. Villa had so many nice spots to lounge and we enjoyed chilling during the day. Every villa has their own bikes to get around. - Activities: We did some snorkelling everyday, the best reefs out there! We definitely recommend bringing an underwater case for you phone or gopro. One day we went on a turtle quest, we were the only one's so actually had a private excursion. The guys were really experienced and professional. Two days we tried the Manta snorkelling but unfortunately didn't see any manta's. The guys tried really hard to make it work, but that's nature of course. We also played some badminton and took a yoga class. We also enjoyed a couples massage in the SPA one day. This was very relaxing and we would recommend. One little point; the manager of the SPA promised us to do something special for our honeymoon, but this didn't happen. Food: the hotel has 5 restaurants, and all of them are good. We loved having lunch and diner in Manzaru (Italian style restaurant). Also the Tepanyaki restaurant was very good! Spice was our least favourite, because we didn't like some dishes and when we told them about it, they didn't seem to bother about it. Also we had lunch in Sea which is so amazing, truly recommended!! We saw sharks, turtles and stingrays. Also the breakfast is so good, many options to choose from, à la carte and buffet, even some sparkling wine. We were staying on half-board plan however ended up paying a lot extra for dishes. We would recommend to just take the breakfast and then choose what you want for dinner. - Staff: Special shout-out to our villa host Akshey, who was amazing! He was actually doing an internship at that moment, but we think he deserves the job ;-) Such a kind person, who always answered immediately and took care of our all wishes and issues. Also our cleaning boy Juadhei (can't remember it correctly) was very kind. Aboo from the breakfast restaurant was also made for the job, very attentive and kind. In general we had an amazing stay and would definitely recommend. However the price is on the h
