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.

It was our second visit to this hotel. Everything remained at the same high level as on our first visit. The villa with sunset and ocean view was lovely. Good maintenance, cleanliness, service - everything was top notch. We felt the care and attention to detail in the hotel. The cuisine was varied, everything is fresh and delicious. Several restaurants with a variety of cuisine. The main advantage of the hotel is a beautiful live reef, in the last days a huge turtle came directly to the villa and was in the lagoon for a few days, it was unforgettable.

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.

The staff was amazing (always welcoming and prepared to support us as guests in making our stay wonderful and unforgettable). Kudos to Rawaah (our host), Amir (our suite caretaker) and Osome (Turle Snorkelling Tour Guide) who made our stay extra special with their kindness! We loved the rooms location, the open air shower, the proximity to the coral reef and the fact that the resort was immersed into amazing wildlife and nature… probably the most relaxing and wonderful place we’ve ever visited

Very beautiful garden in front of the beach; nice rooms; internet works even on the beach; breakfast is continental but lunch and dinner have a great variety; tea, water and instant coffee are complimentary all day long; staff excedeending every expectation (they booked our flights, picked us up from the airport and were very helpful with every request) we want to thank them again for everything!

The watervilla is really beautiful with the best ocean and sunset view. The entire staff is so friendly and helpful. Especially Affan our butler has taken such good care of us and our children and made sure our stay was very comfortable. the food, wines, mocktails and cocktails are very good! Our favorite restaurants are Vakku, Onu, Lagoon Bar and Amaany.

Thank you to jazeel and team for a wonderful stay. Made us feel very welcome, even booked our departure flights to male. Great location straight onto bikini beach.
