Staying at Anantara Kihavah for our honeymoon exceeded all our expectations,and our holiday on the beautiful island was truly magical! We were greeted onto the island by bongo’s,the staff welcoming us on the pier and serving us fresh coconut water before our lovely villa host,Harnie drove us on a buggy through the lush island plantations to our incredible, newly renovated,spacious and private over water villa,which offered full sea and beach view,and from where we enjoyed complete tranquility. The staff was impeccable! They always went out of their way to make each of our experiences memorable and personalized,remembering our names,surprising us with honeymoon cake, champagne and decorations and always offering us our preferred drinks for breakfast and dinner. Every night, we were taken on an amazing culinary journey at one of the five incredible restaurants,that offer cuisines from around the world and each in a beautiful setting,overlooking the water. Our favorite restaurants were “spice” and “sea” - Sea is the under water restaurant, from where we were taken on a gastronomic journey of a five course meal, six meters under water,experiencing the “message in a bottle” immersive dinner whilst marveling at the sharks, stingrays and more fish than you can imagine, peacefully swim around us in unison. The amazing execute chef,Joachim prepared our dessert on the table,like a masterpiece too beautiful to eat,and he was always present at the restaurants, ensuring guests were enjoying their outstanding meals. Another “wauw” experience was the snorkeling, which we thoroughly enjoyed and we were so impressed by the abundance of marine creatures and sea life, swimming around, just feet below the surface of the Indian Ocean. It felt so calm under the water,and as though the fish were inviting us to join them in their underwater World. Anantara Kihavah is truly one of the BEST resorts we have ever stayed at and we loved every moment of this unforgettable honeymoon.

We stayed in March 2025 — everything was perfect. The island is small but very picturesque and well-maintained. We stayed in a beach villa with a private pool — surrounded by lush greenery, beautiful scenery and a sense of complete privacy. Right across from our villa was a golf simulator, which we used several times since we enjoy playing golf. The main restaurant pleasantly surprised us — the food was tasty and varied. Among the à la carte options, the Japanese restaurant was our favorite. We dined there several times, and the dishes were truly outstanding. The spa was also a highlight — the massage was absolutely amazing and deeply relaxing. Special thanks to the staff — polite, attentive, and very detail-oriented. We were left with only the best impressions of our stay.

Dusit Thani was a real treat, and was the perfect tonic after an intense 12 months of work. Snorkelling at the UNESCO biosphere reserve was a true highlight. Shout out to the staff who were all wonderful, especially the footballers at the market. Great to see the organised soccer matches for staff at nightfall - makes you think that staff are well looked after which contributes positively to the overall experience. It was also nice to see John the General Manager getting around the tables at dinner time to speak to the residents - it was a nice personal touch. Accommodation, food, the amenities - all amazing, and cycling around the island turned out to be a whole lot of fun. We will return!

Karthhikeyan the host, has been so kind and helpfull with everything from planning our transportation and everything else we needed. He was always available and ready to help. wouldn’t know what to do without him. The room was amazing. Every room has a sea life theme. Big rooms, with comfortable beds and a nice garden view. We felt very much at home. Top service minded staff and the food has been great. Water, Coffee and tea are free and available all the time. The place is right next to the island airport, but you’re not bothered at all. Blue world also has their own dive shop and restaurant. We used both, which also was great. No downsides - this place has my highest recommendation 🙏🏻

Our butler Adu and the rest of the hotel staff were so welcoming, they did such a great job of making our stay extra special. Our villa was super comfortable and we had the most incredible sunset view from the terrace. We chose this resort in great part due to the dining options available, and the restaurants did not disappoint! We particularly loved Vakku and Onu. We enjoyed a very relaxing couples massage at the spa, but the really highlight were all of the activities, especially turtle snorkeling and snorkeling around the house reef.

Very well managed guest house. Has all basic amenities and cleanliness. The manager mr samanta corordinated right from the airport pickup to drop and guided us at every step.he and and other staff worked round the clock for comfort of guests. They even went out of the way to cook indian dishes as we were not satisfied with the European dishes . The breakfast was great too. The most important part was the price of excursions which was a fraction of what they charge at resorts. We had a great trip because of Azoush hotel and it's staff.

I want to add to the previous review: all the shortcomings eliminated the next day after my comment. And the rubric of unsolicited advice: I strongly recommend taking a snorkeling lesson, if you are a beginner like me, do not worry, in this hotel you will be in good hands). The reef here is very beautiful! You can see an incredible underwater world within two minutes of the villa. And we also took an excursion with dolphins and another one with mantas. We were very happy with the organization, the guides and got a lot of emotions!

We liked everything. The staff went overboard to please us and make us comfortable. The food was superb, the beach was well maintained and in excellent condition. The corals around the island were thriving much better than when I saw them in 2007. The dive center was very well organized and the trip was very good. The staff were very very well organized and attentive and made sure everything was not left for chance or unclear. They cleaned the rooms twice per day.

We generally go on holiday several times per year, but.. The food was amazing, I never had such good food on any of my travels. All of the staff was amazing, they almost felt like family when we left. The hotel is well maintained, the rooms are clean and comfortable, and the private beach is just outside. The massages at the spa are extremely good as well. Never before, I gave a hotel a 10 out of 10.

Wonderful hotel with beachfront location. Super attentive staff always welcoming you with a smile. We did a couple of excursions with them and they were great. It was by far the best hotel in our trip to Maldives. They supply beach towels every day and lovely breakfast. We tried the dinner at the beach and it was great.

The resort is very photogenic & the staffs are very friendly & chatty. The is no internet connection in rooms, honestly we never felt the need of it either as we used to talk to the staffs to know their lifestyles Breakfast, lunch & dinner had plenty of options. Array of tasty food.One can't finish everything.

We loved the staff and size of the beach bungalow . Our location 138 was also perfect location for proximity to dive school and privacy Dive school also a great setup and the house reef , whilst motorised coral was incredibly abundant with shark, turtle , parrot fish etc

Aveyla is truly a slice of paradise within paradise itself. The Aveyla and Liquid Salt team are incredibly friendly and accommodating, ready to fulfill any request. Be sure to book all the tours they offer—each one is an unforgettable experience!

Everything was perfect. We was here for second time and want to come again in future. Thanks Amilla staff, for lovely holiday.
