kihavah-bunga, dude!

May 17th, 2011

Five-star resort. Secluded island with a hard-to-pronounce name (Kihavah Huravalhi). Cerulean Indian Ocean waves.

You may have heard rumblings of the newest Anantara property in the Maldives, but now the all-villa resort (many of which have palm trees growing right through them) is awaiting your arrival. And so is your personal butler.

Only a 35-minute seaplane ride from Malé, Anantara Kihavah Villas offers 78 overwater and beachfront villas with private infinity pools, sundecks, outdoor showers, and soaking tubs built for two.

The Maldives are home to more than 300 species of fish, and you’ll never run out of opportunities to spot them: the overwater villas boast glass-bottomed bathtubs, the spas have viewing panels under the treatments beds and the signature four-level restaurant Sea.Fire.Salt.Sky sports an underwater dining room. When you’re ready to get up close and personal with the marine life, water sports such as snorkeling, scuba diving and windsurfing are offered through the experience club, ‘Elements Kihavah’. Sail into the sunset on a private yacht, cruise on a catamaran, or go deep-sea fishing using the age-old stargazing method.

Haven’t mastered the flip turn yet? No worries—the resort boasts the longest swimming pool in the Maldives at a whopping 160 feet, so you won’t be fighting spring break-ers. Poolside, Sunshine butlers are on hand with fresh fruit and cool face towels. Alternately, enjoy a rejuvenating treat with a day at the Anantara Spa, with treatments featuring indigenous ingredients like the Maldivian Massage’s coconut scrub.

Your piece of paradise awaits…

Rates:  Best available rates start at $1,170 per night for a Beach Pool Villa and include daily breakfast for two.
