My husband Jason & I went to Anantara Kihavah for the first part of our honeymoon the first week of December 2024. We went for 5 nights and 6 days. We truly had a wonderful experience! We booked this resort because we wanted an underwater dining experience, our own pool in our villa and bathtub. This resort was one of the few that offered all of these luxuries. And we were so pleased with our choice to stay here. The entire staff is INCREDIBLY nice, warm, welcoming and generous. We stayed in an overwater villa and it was absolutely beautiful. The food was incredible the entire time, from breakfast to lunches to dinners. We met the head chef and he was a super nice guy, he told us a lot of his stories from traveling as a chef. I know that food can make or break an experience and we absolutely loved it all. Our villa host Zaheen was the best!! He made our stay so convenient and relaxing. We really enjoyed our interactions with him and we very much appreciated his efforts in making our trip so enjoyable. Our "room boy" was Nooh and he was fantastic. He left wonderful surprises in our villa on a daily basis and truly made our stay extra special! We went snorkeling and saw turtles, fish and sharks. We also went jetskiing and saw a ton of dolphins! Overall, we had a wonderful stay. All of the staff was truly amazing, but we wanted to point out a few specific people who made our stay a bit extra wonderful! From Dilmi our breakfast hostess who always greeted us with the biggest smile, to Aboo, Sameen, Toppu, and Zain providing us with the best breakfast service. Sonya and Luisa were also so sweet and always greeting us with a big welcome and smile! Rooney provided us excellent service at the pool and Chelsea and Jenif were some of our awesome lunch and dinner servers! We also really appreciated Ishaar's awesome service for our SEA lunch underwater dining experience. We wish we could name everyone because truly everyone was fantastic but these are a few of the awesome staff that made our stay even better! We met Maurice and Mark, two of the managers who are very involved and available which was really nice to see. We HIGHLY recommend staying at Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas and we definitely would love to go back!
