Anantara Kihavah Villas have made their luxurious debut in the Maldives. Ranging from 2,800 to 9,250 square feet, the resort’s 78 villas are outfitted with personal infinity-edge pools; dining pavilions; and expansive wooden sundecks and ample lounging areas complete with swinging daybeds, hammocks, and sun loungers. Accommodations also include his-and-hers walk-in closets, rain showers, and sunken glass bottom bathtubs in over-water villas that offer views of the sparkling ocean below.
Contemporary interiors feature local accents in every room and color schemes that take cues from the surrounding coral reefs. Villas are at one with the natural tropical surroundings with coconut trees jutting through some of the units’ natural wood floors and lush canopies offering shade and seclusion. In addition, the property’s two-bedroom residences feature an expansive indoor living room, marble flooring, pantry, guest powder room, and sunken open-air bathtubs.
F&B options include the innovative Sea. Fire. Salt. Sky. signature dining experience. This unique under and over water gastronomic concept features four exclusive venues. What’s more, an underwater wine cellar, the first in the Maldives, offers over 6,500 bottles and intimate dining. In the evening the upstairs restaurant, Manzaru, transforms into a leisurely Italian restaurant offering regional specialties.
Recreation and leisure facilities include a tennis court, bicycles, fitness center, kids’ club, boutique, gift shop, and a library with a range of books and films, as well as iPads. Meanwhile, the Anantara Spa comprises six over-water treatment suites, a salon, and a spa dining concept accompanied by a relaxation area with large sweeping decks and a Jacuzzi suspended over the ocean.
