Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas

We felt emotional when it was time to leave. Everyone on the island was exceptional, friendly, professional, and attentive, and people used our names, which made the place feel so warm and familiar. The calm atmosphere and balance of luxury, modern style, and island life made our stay unforgettable. We ate at every restaurant, and each meal felt carefully prepared. The food was amazing, and they were happy to make things that weren’t on the menu. The island and activities were a dream too, with a unique reef, outstanding service, and incredible villas. For our honeymoon, we booked an overwater villa and were upgraded to their biggest overwater villa, which was an amazing start. Zidhan, our villa host, deserves special thanks. He was warm, professional, and so attentive to detail, handling everything quickly and making sure we were happy. He was always available for any request, big or small, and made us feel special. Thank you, Anantara team, for one of the best holidays we’ve had and a truly one-of-a-kind honeymoon. We can’t wait to visit again.

The underwater restaurant was one of the unforgettable dining experiences, and the villa was a peaceful retreat above crystal-clear water. We spent our honeymoon at Kihavah Maldives, and the stay exceeded everything we expected. Zidhan, our villa host, combined professionalism with a way of making us feel fully at home on the island. We can’t thank him enough. Several other staff members helped make the honeymoon so special. Ammu, our snorkeling and water-activities monitor, was amazing and shared stories about coral, fish, and his experiences with sharks. Appi, our villa caretaker, was kind and focused on the details. Dilmi welcomed us at the restaurants several times, while Ricky served breakfast and some dinners, making us laugh and always being so kind. Ashraq took dreamlike photos during an unforgettable photoshoot. Special mention too to Jenif and Ratheesh, who made us feel at home. Luxury with warmth, and details that create lasting memories. We can’t wait to return one day. Thank you so, so much. Marina & Sergi.

The reef was so lively and special that even though I’m not keen on snorkeling, I went swimming every day. I saw everything from turtles to sharks. It was my fifth trip to the Maldives, and Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas was the best hotel I’d stayed at. The villas are new and spacious, and ours was over the water with incredible views. The food was amazing too, with fresh seafood and a huge range of dishes to suit different tastes and requests. I especially recommend Fire, one of the best Japanese restaurants I’ve tried. A special thank you to our butler, Sulhiya, who welcomed us with such a caring, thoughtful manner and paid attention to all our requests. Sulhiya gave us the vacation of our dreams. I want to go back as soon as possible.

The kids club was a hit with my three-year-old, and we loved the pristine beach and colorful fish, as well as the exquisite underwater restaurant. The rooms, comfy beds, food, and service were all luxurious and top-notch. Zidhan deserves a special mention for being so attentive, anticipating what we needed, and going above and beyond to make the stay peaceful and enjoyable. It was a wonderful time on a wonderful island. Thank you, we’ll be back!
