Our accommodation, a newly renovated sunset overwater villa, was a sight to behold. The blend of modern aesthetics and traditional Maldivian charm created a space that was not only luxurious but also incredibly inviting. The villa boasted a brand new outside area that immediately caught our attention. From this private oasis, we were treated to unparalleled views of the sun dipping below the horizon, casting hues of orange and pink across the Maldivian sky. It was a sunset experience that will forever be etched in our memories.

As we dined surrounded by the mesmerizing underwater world, we enjoyed a delightful lunch while observing sharks, turtles, rays, and an array of colorful fish gracefully swimming by. It was a surreal and unforgettable dining experience.

Our gastronomic adventure also included a private dinner on the beach - a culinary escapade under the stars. The setting was not only romantic but also meticulously arranged, creating an intimate atmosphere.

Although we didn't venture into the depths with scuba diving, the house reef at Anantara Kihavah offered an incredible snorkeling experience.

Snorkeling here was like exploring an underwater paradise just steps away from our villa. If, like us, you love snorkeling, you just won't be disappointed at Anantara Kihavah which definitely makes it in our top 3 for snorkeling.
