A LUXURY RESORT IN THE MALDIVES
SAIL AWAY
Sailing takes on a romantic hue with our private cruises. Board the 24-metre Ocean Whisperer for a sunset cruise or elegant celebration. Secret lagoons and deserted islands offer secluded spots for sunbathing, or you simply stretch out on the deck as you sail the atoll.
Embrace the calm of ocean life as you drift across the Indian Ocean. The luxurious yacht offers an exquisite location for celebrations. Exclusive packages are available including personalised dining and entertainment. Spend the night onboard and be rocked to sleep by the gentle lull of the waves.
SOAR ACROSS THE OCEAN
Explore the best of the Maldives and Sri Lanka by sea and sky, as you travel in style with one of Asia’s most exclusive private jet services. Fly on the MJets Gulfstream V or Cessna Citation X, then relax beside sparkling blue ocean in Anantara’s most exclusive villas.
MANTA RAY SNORKELLING
Get up-close to stunning manta rays in the protected environment of Hanifaru Bay. With a wingspan of several metres, these fascinating creatures can number over 100 at the time of the full moon. They enter the world’s largest manta feeding destination to feed on small fish, plankton and crustaceans.
Plan in advance for the optimum time to witness these magnificent creatures in all their glory. This offers a tremendous opportunity to swim alongside manta rays and imitate their graceful course through the ocean.
About Anantara Kihavah Villas
Surrounded by nothing but turquoise lagoon which melts into sapphire blue, the island of Kihavah and its pure white sands rise up out of the ocean like a mirage. For centuries, Arab traders en route to the Far East took shelter on the island, a lush paradise blessed by coconut, papaya and mango trees. Navigating archipelago to archipelago by the stars, the seafarers were also drawn by the riches of the ocean surrounding the island – where a prehistoric volcano sank back into the depths, leaving blooming corals and a wealth of lagoon fish.
“Perfection Does Exist.”
