ANANTARA KIHAVAH MALDIVES VILLAS

Surrounded on all sides by a gorgeous turquoise lagoon

dreamiest island hideaways

Surrounded on all sides by a gorgeous turquoise lagoon, which flows into the rich blue of the Indian Ocean, Anantara Kihavah is one of Maldives’ dreamiest island hideaways.

A stopover for the seafaring traders of days gone by, the Maldivian island of Kihavah Huravalhi is its own little slice of paradise. Not only is it studded with coconut, mango and papaya trees, but its location within the Baa Atoll means the surrounding waters teem with tropical marine life.

Whilst your days can be devoted to lounging on powder-soft sands, snorkelling with manta rays and sailing on luxury yachts, your evenings can be spent contemplating the moons of Jupiter through the resort’s powerful telescope.

Not a single tree was removed in the construction of Anantara’s 80 beautiful beach and overwater pool villas and residences. Constructed from indigenous materials, each is a serene haven with private pools, sundecks and outdoor showers. As well as a well-equipped water sports centre, the resort boasts a dreamy, overwater spa where treatments are complemented by outstanding ocean views. From Asian haute cuisine at ‘Spice’ to Japanese delicacies at ‘Fire’ and fresh seafood at the underwater restaurant, Sea, dining at Anantara is a truly special affair.

“FLAWLESS, AGAIN”

This is the third time I’ve used TUTC. The service, as before, was flawless. Aside from putting in place all the major details of a complex trip to Japan, Dan at TUTC nailed every detail: train tickets were for seats with large luggage space (very important in Japan, as we discovered); a mobile internet wifi was included; together with a pre-charged use-pretty-much-anywhere travel card (again, important – Japan has multiple transport companies). For any kind of complex trip I won’t go anywhere else.

“IN SAFE HANDS, EVEN WHEN PLANS CHANGE”

Every detail of our Patagonia tour was expertly arranged – from transfers and flights to the choice of hotels. When our onward flight to the Falklands was delayed by two days, The Ultimate Travel Company stepped in immediately and secured a hotel for us. It was an enormous relief, especially as we don’t speak Spanish and had no idea what to do next. That level of thoughtful, responsive service stayed with us – it turned a potential travel hiccup into a lasting positive memory.

“EVERY TRIP EXCELLENT – AND MORE TO COME”

I’ve been on several small group holidays with The Ultimate Travel Company and every one has been outstanding. My most recent trip in February was no exception – expertly organised, responsive to questions, and full of memorable experiences. The itineraries are well thought out, the hotels top-notch, and the group sizes just right. Their tour leaders are knowledgeable, supportive and great company. I haven’t looked elsewhere since discovering Ultimate – and I’m already planning my next.
