The resort has one of the most beautiful reefs and one where you can jump off the jetty or have just a very short swim to reach. The resort is a seaplane ride away and they offer a good quality lounge at the sea plane terminal to wait and refresh . The villas are spacious and the overall island island, though not the biggest is still a 1km round trip walk along the periphery road or the white sand azure water lipped beach. The management team are very responsive . And the service and quality of food, amenities and products were all excellent. The water villas with pools were excellent and though placed close to each other ( as they all are in the maldives these days) , still afforded total privacy . The staff esp Azmeen( villa host), Niyaaz( villa cleaner), Gym/ Sports veterans of Shila/ Mina and Jerby were all amazing . The restaurants always impressed and the staff always polite and go out of the way to impress. The SEA restaurant that sits at the edge of the reef is a must to have lunch or dinner in. It’s simply mesmerising to sit on the edge of the reef in air conditioned surroundings and simply see turtles, sharks and an amazing array of colourful fish. The Spa was good. If you get a good comparable rate , then this is an excellent resort. It’s comparable to most of the other Five Star Plus resorts across the Maldives. If like us, you like luxury Maldives ( this is our 20th trip over 2 decades) , Anantara Kihavah is one that won’t fail to impress and it offers the highest of the famed and excellent “anantara” level of service .
