Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas

ABSOLUTELY SPLENDID! We hope to be back soon! Mr Paul and his A-team were impeccable and we couldn’t ask for more! Our overwater villa was spotlessly clean, tastefully designed and bigger than we expected. We were there to celebrate our wedding anniversary and they curated such a romantic and unforgettable experience. Besides the attention paid to every single detail, we were grateful for our dedicated villa host, Naomi 🙏🏼 (Here’s a special shoutout to Naomi: BIG THANKS FOR EVERYTHING! 😘🫶🏼) Although our star-gazing booking was cancelled last minute due to cloudy weather, we appreciate that Naomi and her colleague did try their best to make it happen. In fact, most of the staff who tended to us were very friendly, hospitable and steadfast 👍🏼 Also to take this opportunity to give special credits to the ever humorous Reji, Ricky and the rest of the team at Manzaru and Spice restaurant, the knowledgeable Sofiya at SEA underwater restaurant (for making us excited by pointing out the various wild sea lives spotted and taking professional looking photos and vids), Yoni, Tee Pee, Nur and our masseur of the Spa team (BEST SPA EXPERIENCE AND MERIDIEN MASSAGE EVER!) and all housekeepers ♥️ We felt more like their friends than guests… meltzzz… ♥️ For half board’s standard, their food selections and offerings were wide, portions were big and tasted really good! We reckoned they practice 0km cooking after visiting their herbal garden, seeing a Chef harvesting their organic herbs. The Tom Yum soup at Spice Restaurant also saved my night as I was down with motion sickness 😅 Here’s also a big shout-out to Mr Paul, the man of the house! THANKS FOR EVERYTHING, not forgetting making the last minute Manta-ray excursion happened! 20 Manta-ray, the dolphins spotted and a huge rainbow literally struck a perfect chord!

Anantara was amazing! Everything was perfect! Piyal was amazing! super helpful and patient and made sure our stay was super comfortable and stress free. Sugar the F&B head and his team were so good along with Jenny and Prabesh! We were well fed 😄 Paul was awesome and are sure to swing by and say hi and chit chat everyday! Attey our super photographer- so patient and thank you for squeezing us into your busy schedule! The entire housekeeping team etc all were super! Thank you for making our stay a super memorable one!

Excellent resort with amazing customer service especially from Siham

We stayed in Anantara Kihawah for 5 days 4 nights. This place went beyond our expectations in every way including stay, food, service and snorkling experience. We are a family of 4 and we went with our two boys. My boys did not want to leave at the end of our stay. We had a warmest welcome when we got off the seaplane. Azmeen, our villa host, was exceptionally helpful and polite. We stayed in water villa and oh boy! what a luxury and serene vibes it had! Never experienced relaxation to this deeper level. My boys jumped in the infinite pool right away. They went to kids club and all the staff including Tini, Zizi, Aish, Darima, Shiela and Coral made my kids experience super fun. They tried tennis clinic, had a talk with marine biologist, tried dip and dazzle popsicle making activity, played vollyball, football and what not. Thank you ladies! Next comes the restaurant experience. We mostly ate in Spice and the freshness and taste of food was unbeatable. Our restaurant manager ‘Sugar’ was gracious enough to honor our food request for each and every single evening. He made sure our requests were pre-made and exactly made and served to our needs. Thank you Sugar. All the servers were super polite and knowledgeable about the menu. Sea restaurant experience was super unique. Anantara has the best coral reef and the animals we saw under water were just mind boggling. We saw all sorts of fish, turtles and baby sharks. Boys were super thrilled. Lastly, can’t forget our resort exploration with bike rides. Overall, this resort has gone above and beyond to make us feel special. Thank you Anantara. We 100% recommend this to anyone and we will surely return.

I spent some of the most memorable days of my life at Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas. It was truly an exceptional experience in every sense of the word, and certainly not my last visit. The resort is stunning in every detail, from its breathtaking natural beauty and tranquil atmosphere to the outstanding level of service and attention to detail that makes every guest feel comfortable from arrival to departure. I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to all the resort staff, with special thanks to: • Mr. Paul (Director of Sales): One of the best people I have ever met. He is friendly, approachable, always smiling, and welcoming to everyone. He listens to feedback with an open mind and genuinely cares about ensuring guests have the best possible experience. Thank you as well for the thoughtful gift, which added a special touch to our stay. • Ms. Siham (Villa Host): She provided exceptional service throughout our stay. She was always responsive and efficient, ensuring that all our reservations and activities were arranged perfectly. Her support made our stay smooth, comfortable, and completely stress-free. • Housekeeping Team: They maintained the villa impeccably, cleaning it once or twice daily with great professionalism and attention to even the smallest details. Their dedication to cleanliness and guest comfort was evident throughout our stay. • Kid Zone Team: Although I did not bring my children on this trip, the team was incredibly welcoming and took the time to explain all the activities and programs available for children. Their enthusiasm and care made me look forward to bringing my kids on our next visit. • Spa Team: The spa experience was one of the highlights of our trip. The warm welcome, relaxing atmosphere, and professionalism made every visit enjoyable. My wife had several massage sessions and thoroughly enjoyed them. Special thanks to Ms. Ake and Ms. Noor for their excellent service, professionalism, and attention to detail. • Restaurant Team: A huge thank you to all the chefs and restaurant staff. The food was consistently delicious, beautifully presented, and offered an excellent variety of options. Special thanks to Chef Islam for his outstanding dishes and dedication to creating a remarkable dining experience. I would also like to thank Mr. Abdullah, Mr. Muath, Mr. Ahmad, and the rest of the restaurant team for their kindness, attentiveness, and exceptional service throughout our stay. • Diving Center Team: Initially, the team was friendly and informative, and I was excited to try several water activities. However, my experience with the manager, Mr. GAP, was disappointing. I found the interaction lacking friendliness and professionalism, which unfortunately affected my overall impression and led me to cancel all the marine activities I had planned. In conclusion, I would like to thank the management and all the staff of Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas for their warm hospitality and outstanding service. It was an unforgettable experience filled with wonderful memories, and I look forward to returning in the future. I would confidently recommend this resort to anyone seeking a luxurious and exceptional Maldives experience. Best regards, Dr. Abdulaziz Abdullah Saudi Arabia
