Hotel information
An unforgettable resort where you can snorkel some of the Indian Ocean’s most cherished reefs within a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve.
Outstanding features of the hotel include its spectacular underwater restaurant, luxurious private villas with stunning beach or ocean views and of course the signature treatments at the overwater spa. As if this all wasn’t paradise enough, the journey to the island is an experience in itself; a memorable 30-minute seaplane flight over coral islands and turquoise waters.
Experience the world’s first underwater wine cellar and a unique dining room completely surrounded by the majesty of the sea. Voted World’s Best Underwater Restaurant for four consecutive years, SEA offers a gourmet dining experience like no other and provides panoramic views of passing fish, turtles, and even sharks. Looking it the skies, the first and only observatory in the Maldives perches on the roof of the Sky Bar offering crystal clear 360° views of the wondrous night sky.
If you fancy some quiet time basking by the pool of your private villa, you’ll be able to do so safe in the knowledge that the kids are having a whale of a time at the kids’ club: Thiththi Boli, which means ‘beautiful shells’. And if a night ‘à deux’ is on the cards, a babysitter can be arranged for children over three months. Time together is best enjoyed under the stars with a private movie screening watching a film of your choice with popcorn and chocolate-dipped strawberries.
But of course, if you’re in the Maldives, the focus of your stay will be those glorious azure waters, where at Anantara Kihavah you’ll be spoilt for choice given its offerings. Highlights include the Coral Adoption Programme to give guests a better understanding of the delicate ecosystem around them and the Anantara Dive Centre where you can enrol in a PADI certification course.
