Highlights
Your journey to the island starts with a 35 minute sea plane, make sure you have your camera ready as you will see some stunning views.
For your very best chance of seeing some of the most magical creatures namely the Manta Rays, choose to visit between May – November when hundreds of manta rays congregate in Hanifaru Bay to feed on the tiny plankton.
Walk around the island with the sand between your toes or if you don’t want to be late to breakfast, hop on your bike and pedal between the palm-lined pathways.
Enjoy the ultimate dining experience by stepping downstairs and sitting underwater watching the sea life go by, whilst sampling some mouth watering dishes.
Comprising just 80 villas set both on-island and over the water, Anantara Kihavah blends detailed style with plenty of space and seclusion. Each residence features its own private pool, high ceilings, timber interiors and marble floors. For the gadget lovers, Bose sound systems and wine chillers, iPhone docks and espresso machines keep impatient fingers occupied while discreetly placed sun loungers, hammocks and sumptuous baths indulge those looking for nothing other than ultimate relaxation.
Dining options take on a variety of possibilities with your feet in the sand, under the water, over the water or below the shade of a coconut palm. Every possible taste bud is catered for and for the wannabe sommelier, the wine list is both reasonable and extensive.
If you need a little more than just lying in the sun with a good book and the odd dip in the ocean, badminton, volleyball and pétanque are all available on the beach. Cooking classes tailor made to your tastes and requirements are on offer for budding chefs and for those who cannot do without, a gym is available with treadmills, free weights, bicycles and other strength-training and cardio equipment in order to keep up your fitness routine, even on holiday. Tennis and yoga are also options to keep in shape while away.
Over and under the water, all myriad of water sports are on offer in addition to excursions to deserted and local islands to be alone or discover the local culture. Big game fishing and fantastic diving complete the aquatic experience in the clearest, crystal, turquoise waters in the world.
The spectacular spa features six over-water treatment suites in a peaceful sanctuary, created to renew and rejuvenate your inner sense of well-being. Treatments are drawn from the wisdom of the earth, using the healing properties of natural ingredients to enrich, detoxify, polish and restore.
