Location is perfect. So many private islands and sandbanks. It was perfect for snorkeling. We went snorkeling like everyday during our stay. Reef also very healthy and nice with so many fishes and corals. A special thanks to Husham for guiding us everywhere. We enjoyed our stay and the rooms was very clean and comfortable too. Will visit again soon.

It's a wonderful place to stay in Kendoo. Great location, quiet&safe, nice garden, few rooms on the first floor and a sea view restaurant for breakfasts on the second floor. Ideal place for snorkling from the beach, also there are many places around to go by boat. I would definetly come back during manta season. Special thanks to Akmal, a guesthouse manager, we met us at the airport, was always ready to help, organized New year dinner on the beach.

This was a 10/10 experience! It's a small inn run by locals and the location is excellent. From arrival to my departure the owners and staff were so kind and helpful. It was like I had personal butlers ready 24/7 to attend all my needs. I can't stress this point enough! The rooms were minimal and clean and The food was good and affordable. I went snorkeling at the islands housereef and the owners arranged pvt excursions to sandbanks and nearby uninhabited islands. This really was the Maldivian vacation of everyone's dreams. Thank you fasdheythere team for this Unforgettable experience!

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.

This is a brand new hotel that ticks all the boxes! The staff is very friendly and helpful with setting up transfers and arranging excursions. The hotel has a gorgeous roof terrace with a stunning view of the sunset over the ocean. The rooms are very clean, modern, luxurious and built with exclusive materials. There is a restaurant just across the street of the hotel that serves the breakfast and also have lunch and dinner. The island is very quiet with only a few tourists. The bikini beach is located approx. 5 min walk from the hotel. If you want to, you can get a ride from the hotel staff. The hotel supplies sun beds and umbrellas. There is beautiful snorkelling on the house reef just by the beach. During my stay I saw both stingrays, sea turtles and sharks and of course a lot of different and colourful fish and corals. There are some local shops where you can buy some snacks and essentials. Bring cash, preferably MVR, but USD works as well! I really enjoyed my stay and I wish Mohamed and his team all the best with their new and beautiful hotel!

It’s a very peaceful island, the property is clean, staff Ali is very helpful and friendly. You go here if you want to take a break from the rest of the world. Theres not much to do unless you do the excursions on offer. I didn’t mind this and you get used to not doing much. There are two places you can buy a meal, the locals are friendly. I went in low season and was the only tourist there. Wifi is great at the property.

Very nice private beach, great food, staff was very kind and very helpful. Beautiful and comfortable room with everything you need, with stunning ocean view. Hotel is located close to the harbour which is very convenient for diving and snorkeling trips. Everything we hoped for (and more!).

A Truly Unforgettable Stay in Paradise! Our stay at this beautiful resort in the Maldives was an absolute dream. The hotel is tucked away among tall palm trees, just 10 meters from a stunning white-sand beach with crystal-clear water. The entire island felt like a hidden paradise. One of the highlights of our trip was swimming with manta rays in the incredible Hanifaru Bay – a once-in-a-lifetime experience that we will never forget. Every day, the hotel provided us with clean beach towels, snorkeling masks, and fins, making it so easy to enjoy the sea and the underwater beauty. The staff were exceptional – always kind, professional, and genuinely caring. A special thank you to Sumesh, who went above and beyond every single day to make our stay perfect. He solved every little issue quickly and with a smile, making us feel completely looked after. We also want to highlight the head of dining, who ensured every meal was fresh, delicious, and beautifully served. The service in the restaurant was just as great as the food itself. For the price, the hotel was more than fair – clean, comfortable, and perfectly located. The island is small but absolutely magical, ideal for relaxation, nature lovers, and ocean adventures. We left with unforgettable memories and can’t wait to return. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a peaceful, beautiful escape with top-notch service.

Everything, the owner and staff are all soo friendly and welcoming
