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.

Drinks: We paid for all inclusive and the drink selection was huge! Several straight liqueurs (like vodka, two types of rum, tequila etc) you could mix with any soft drinks, about 10 cocktails to choose. Food: The buffet was incredible, the choices varied every meal but with some staples that were always there. The chef would cook in front of you - some days was burgers, some pastas, always eggs in the morning but with waffles as well! The table service was amazing, always making sure you had drinks. Dinner outside was great, with mood lighting on the tables as well. Rooms: We stayed 3 nights in a pool beach villa and it was HUGE and room service included every day. They cleaned the pool every day as well. They even set up a honeymoon decoration. The outdoor shower was brilliant! We then spent 2 nights in an over water villa and it was STUNNING! Smaller but it doesn’t matter, the views are unbelievable and there’s a reef about 100 metres up from the over water villas. We saw two black tip reef sharks which was just incredible, they didn’t bother us and was AMAZING to swim so close to them. People: The workers went above and beyond, always making sure you were comfortable and happy. They memorised our drink orders by the end of our stay. Afa handled most of our stay and moved us into a nicer room for our honeymoon - she really was amazing, thank you Afa! The workers were always doing something to make sure the island looked perfect: raking the sand footpaths, organising people’s beach chairs etc. passing anyone on the footpaths, they always said good morning or hello. Activities: I did a scuba dive and my husband snorkelled - we were the only ones on the boat, we were able to sit on the roof and look around. A pod of dolphins swam to the boat and my husband saw a sea turtle. I saw dozens of lion fish and moray eels, as well as abundant fish of all kinds. Easy dive and extremely enjoyable.

Aveyla Accommodation & Liquid Salt Divers – A Memorable Stay and Dive Experience My stay at Aveyla Accommodation was fantastic. The room was very comfortable and well-maintained, providing a perfect place to relax after a day of exploring. The guesthouse has a peaceful atmosphere, making it easy to unwind and take in the beauty of the island. Diving with Liquid Salt Divers was the highlight of my trip. The team is professional and knowledgeable, ensuring safe and exciting dives at breathtaking locations. The underwater life is amazing, and both seasoned divers and beginners will find something to love. I enjoyed my experience so much that I hope to return not just as a guest, but as a friend. The warmth and professionalism left a lasting impression, and I truly hope to stay in touch. If you’re looking for a comfortable stay and an unforgettable diving experience, I highly recommend Aveyla and Liquid Salt Divers.

This was our second stay at this property with a few years between… and Milaidhoo is even better now than when it first opened. The staff were exceptional. The food was impeccable, wonderfully highlighting Maldivian cuisine amongst a range of international dishes. The wine list holds its own against any Michelin starred restaurant, featuring the best wines of the new and old world. The resort reef is an absolute pleasure to snorkel or dive, and it’s within a few meters of the beach! Unlike many other reefs in SE Asia and the Pacific, there is no pollution here. We had some very heavy downpours during our stay over NYE but the staff accommodated, adapted and moved the events under cover without missing a beat. Simply exceptional.

We stayed at Water Villa for a week. We found the reef is really great. I myself saw one Manta Even it was not a Manta Ray Season and reef Sharks everyday. Drop off is not far from the House reef so Beautiful. Food buffet was Too good so I had 2 dishes every dinner. Also the ecological Setting was great for me, we Took sea plane it was Great.

amazing property with modern, colorful and spacious room with private atmosphere. communication worked excellent via a dedicated Finohlu App as for the overwater villa walking distance was about 15-20 mins to beach house and bar so used mostly a buggy pick-up. food and staff were equally first class and excellent.

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

This was our 2nd time staying in this resort. The services they provided were still maintained at "6 stars", it is really worth staying here and definitely we will repeat again. Thank you to all the staff and Mr Ali (owner) to make our manta holiday come true.
