Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas

The Anantara Kihavah is exactly what I imagined the Maldives to be. It was perfect in every way. The resort is private, the service is impeccable and the food is over the top. We stayed at two resorts during our visit. At one resort we stayed in an over water villa and at the Anantara we stayed in a beach villa. The beach was so private, there were times that we were the only ones in the water. And for all the other times, there was at most 2 other people. The snorkelling was great. We saw so many different types of fish and marine life from our beach. Each villa is equipped with bicycles to ride around the island and if you don't feel like riding your bike, it is walkable and if not, there is always someone available to pick you up in a buggy. We did a number of different excursions. We did the Shark and Turtle snorkelling. The staff is knowledgeable, professional and very experienced. It's must do at Kihavah. We also dined at all the speciality restaurants including Sea, which is the under water restaurant. It's very small and intimate. It was well worth it and highly recommended. And I have to give a shout out to Fire Restaurant. This is a Teppanyaki restaurant. Watching the chefs at work is entertaining. They will gladly answer any questions and give cooking advice. But the highlight and the reason to go to here, is the food. The quality is exceptional and is what you would expect at this type of restaurant. You will enjoy some of the best sushi ever! Fantastic! They do not cut corners or skimp on quality. The Anantara also offers "Cinema Under the Stars". This was actually a lot of fun. It's like being in your own movie theatre with gourmet food. We had everything from popcorn, chips, chocolate covered strawberries, scallops, shrimp salad, sliders, spring rolls, snacks and soda. The only criticism I have, is ordering still water at the restaurants. They offer unlimited water in the rooms, but not in the restaurant. If you want a glass of water, you have to buy a bottle of spring water at a cost of $17.00 USD. The villa hosts are available to you 24 hours / day. And their goal is to make your stay perfect and our villa host did exactly that. There are lots of places to stay in the Maldives, but without a doubt, there is no place better than Anantara Kihavah.

This was a fantastic holiday. The island is stunning and the food and accommodation are really special. We had a fantastic villa host in Siham who could not have been more helpful. Noor, who looked after our room, was brilliant and we loved the activities including diving with nurse sharks and trying kite surfing.
