Maj, Katty, and the rest of the team were wonderful. We stayed for 6 days/5 nights. The food was great and the accommodations were superb. The reef was exquiste for snorkeling and scuba diving. Highly recommend.
This was the absolute best resort experience I’ve ever had. The resort is the only one on a private island. The staff is so kind and thoughtful and no detail is overlooked. We booked this trip as a one-in-a-lifetime experience and it BY FAR exceeded our expectations! If you are interested in going to the Maldives, look no further. It was truly a dream come true!
Celebrating our anniversary at this resort was very refreshing and romantic. At different times the staff helped plan surprises for my partner and executed it beautifully. They were very discreet and efficient. The staff overall was very friendly and helpful. Staying in the Overwater Pool Villa was absolutely breathtaking; there were many different areas to enjoy in the room and the view was immaculate. Leaving the room to eat and having the option to be driven to dinner or ride the bikes was nice. Our driver, Ifoo, was very helpful with making reservations and giving suggestions. The food there was sublime. I experienced different dishes that originated from the Maldives and thoroughly enjoyed them. I feel rejuvenated from my stay here. I’ll definitely be back.
Anatara is a truly exceptional hotel. My wife and I stayed for 5 nights for our honeymoon. As soon as we arrived on the sea plane we were welcomed on the dock by the hotel staff. The service from all the staff is on another level. The room was exceptional (we had an overwater pool sunset villa). And the food was beyond our expectations. The staff go to all out to ensure the small touches are done to make your stay feel special. A truly memorable experience at an incredible hotel.
Beautiful resort, what impressed most is friendliness of staff, attention to detail and smoothly organising all activities. Food was delicious in all restaurant, Sea restaurant was spectacular with the view to the coral reef around. Overall excellent stay
Quando chegamos nos ofereceram um bangalô em frente ao um pier de madeira ( feio). Tivemos que trocar 3 vezes de bangalô. Somente depois de enviar uma avaliação no primeiro dia para o hotel é que o gerente geral tomou a decisão de resolver nossos problemas e a partir dai tudo foi ótimo
PERFEITA!!! Nossa estadia no Anantara Kihavah superou todas as nossas mais altas expectativas. Hotel luxuoso, com uma natureza incrível e com os funcionários tão bons quanto isso tudo!!! Fomos MUITO bem tratados por TODOS eles... e, como a estrutura do Hotel é excelente, isso foi um "diferencial". Gostamos muito e recomendamos.
We were really blessed to choose this hotel for a very memorable stay here at the Maldives.
The pros.
1- The rooms are the most luxurious I have ever seen across all my travels. This is probably in excess of 200sqm, with the finest woodwork you can ever see from Mahogony floors to Tike patio and outdoors. The most comfortable bed mattress, 7 different kinds of pillows to choose from, Bose speakers connecting via Bluetooth with sounds across the whole villa. The biggest swimming pool I have seen in a room overwater! Bath tub with plexy glass bottom where you can see the fish. The best amenities.
2- The island itself I think is probably one of the most special in the Maldives. The natural landscape looks like it has been manicured daily! Beautiful Orchids everywhere, amazing white sands.
3- The staff is just great. I would like to thank each and everyone for taking very good care of us, starting with our host Amy, the GM of the resort Dylan, the resort Chef Tim, the restaurant manager Sugar and all the staff who took care of us during our stay. We were always greeted with a smile and our names and they all made sure it has been a very personalized stay.
4- The Food was just amazing. We had few dinners in salt restaurant and it has been one of my best Thai dining experiences so far.
O hotel combina sofisticação com natureza. É impressionante como cada quarto é concebido, as piscinas e a natureza ao redor. Tratamento VIP a todo momento.
O transfer entre o Hotel e o Aeroporto é impecável.
Incredible resort in the most amazing location. Our over water villa with private pool was perfect. The resort facilities excellent and the staff truly spectacular. You must try the underwater restaurant which gives a unique view of the reef and its teeming life. Fabulous
Awesome room on the water, professional villa host service. All staffs knew our all family's name, general manager came to us everyday. Very comfortable, very organized. The restaurants are so cool design and food also really great!
Of course, everything was not cheap but they always met or exceeded our expectations so I strongly recommend this hotel.
My husband and I just got back from five amazing days. The resort is just beautiful. You have to see it to believe it. I am going to keep this review somewhat short and simple because I can go on and on about the resort. The resort is very well kept and the villas are unbelievable. We were lucky to have stayed in both villa types - overwater and beach. The service and food was excellent. From the dining experience, the ambiance and the way things are setup is just picture perfect. The underwater restaurant is just amazing. There is plenty to do on the island so you will not get bored. Also the resort is very kid friendly and even comes with a kids play area. I noticed how the staff interact with the kids made me regret not bringing my 3 year old son. And the staff...I cannot say enough about them. They are the most loving friendly and attentive group of people. I don't remember all the names but the ones I do are: Solah(our host), Happy, Rifoo, and Ihthi. We also had a nice and fun chat with Ali. Thank you so much for the warm hospitality. I have to admit I was sad leaving but I can look back with a smile. Being from the states, it is quite a journey there but sooo worth every penny. We will definitely return. This time with our son.
I had the chance to travel around the world but nothing get even close to the wonderful experience we had at Anantara Kihavah, Maldives. The concept of the over water villa are exceptional, the offered services are excellent and the location of the resort is perfect. I usually don't go twice to the same resort but I will defenitely go back to Anantara Kihavah.
This is perhaps one of the best experiences and hotel that have been to. The staff are attentive and knowledgeable! Many activities are available to keep you busy and happy. The only downside is that it is expensive, though you are in Anantara, so don't expect any less than perfection.
