Big Game Fishing - Cast it out and reel it on in - Take a half-day excursion on a speedboat to reap the bounty of the plentiful Indian Ocean and take part in a local pastime. Expert guides will show you how to reel in some of the sea's thriving sailfish, wahoo, tuna, mahi mahi and giant trevally. Bring your catch back with you and the chefs will be happy to prepare it as you wish, or teach you how to cook it yourself, for a uniquely do-it-yourself seafood supper.
Canoeing - Grab your most trusted paddling partner and take out one of the canoes for an afternoon spin on the lagoon. Bring a picnic basket along and find a secluded spot in the sand for private lunch, or work on your tan as you glide over the waters and explore the island from afar.
Dive Centre and Marine Lab - A long-time magnet for scuba divers and snorkellers alike, the Maldives are home to a magnificent array of wildlife. A trip below the surface reveals an explosion of colour, from tropical fish to coral gardens. The Maldives are the only habitat where whale sharks, the largest fish in the world, appear all year round. You are likely to encounter these magnificent creatures up close at the protected dive site, just a short boat trip from the resort. Whatever your level of experience, Anantara's Dive Centre will make you feel at home under the waves. Enrol in a PADI certification course to earn a license recognised internationally, opening up a whole new world for your discovery. Or, for a leisurely afternoon of wildlife exploration, sign up for a Bubblemaker intro course. For more experienced divers, Anantara offers access and transport to a number of nearby reefs. Discuss with the dive master to customise your ideal dive excursion.
Orientation Dives - All divers at the Anantara Dive Centre require an orientation dive, unless you have logged a dive within the last three months in the Maldives.
PADI Diving Courses - PADI, the Professional Association of Diving Instructors, is the largest and most well-respected diving association in the world. PADI instructors are well-trained and very knowledgeable, so you will always be in safe hands. Anantara's Dive Centre offers a number of PADI courses, from Open Water Diver certification for novices all the way to Rescue Diver for scuba experts. The Dive Centre will do their best to find a programme and instructor that fits your experience and goals.
Kayaking - Enjoy a tranquil morning of gliding around the lagoon, or pick up the speed and find a fun new way to get your afternoon workout. Sit-atop kayaks, whether tandem or solo, transparent or solid, are one of the best ways to experience the beauty of this Maldivian paradise at your own pace.
Sailing - Anantara invites you to take the once-in-a-lifetime chance to set sail in one of the world's most stunning marine destinations aboard a graceful catamarans or a private yacht. Whether you are a sea-hardened sailing expert, ready to embark on a solo voyage into the horizon, or a novice landlubber, eager to soak up the sun and the sights and leave the steering to the skipper, which can be a customised excursion suited to your tastes.
Snorkelling - Borrow a pair of fins and a snorkel to get up close to the exotic aquatic life of the Maldives without the weight of a scuba tank. The tranquil, crystal clear waters of the island offer unrivalled opportunities for fish viewing.
Windsurfing - Windsurfing is the closest you can get to flying, with you feet still planted firmly on the ground - or rather, on the water! With all the power of the wind behind you, and your expert instructors showing you the way, you'll be skimming across the mirror-like surface of the lagoon in no time.
RESORT ACTIVITIES

Just let the chefs know what piques your culinary curiosity and they will design a cooking lesson suited to your tastes.
Fitness - With treadmills, free weights, bicycles and other strength-training and cardio equipment, you can keep up your fitness routine, even on holiday. Borrow an iPod filled with adrenaline-pumping workout tunes, or catch up with the news or the latest HBO movies while you burn some serious calories.
Kihavah Kids Club - Open for children from the ages of 3 to 12, the Kihavah Kids Club has a full range of fun and enriching activities to keep the young guests occupied. With their very own Kid's Club House, young guests will make new friends and enjoy their holiday just as much as their parents. Under the supervision of the Kids' Coordinator, children can take part in beach games, arts and crafts and an array of other activities to ensure they're always having fun.

The Sunshine Butlers are on hand to cater to your every wish, from fresh fruit juices to cold towels, five-minute back massages and sunglasses cleaning. Find your personal soundtrack by borrowing one of the pool's iPods: from jazz to hip hop, each colour is loaded with a different style of music.

loved everything about the property ! had a great time overall….excellent food across all the restaurants, great dive centre facilities, big enough an island to walk around till exhausted, STAFF is exceptional & helpful
Was a surprise getaway for my wife’s birthday, despite discussing this several times before reaching the resort & even when there, hardly anything was done to make the bday special - not a single card, a very mediocre cake, small bottle of champagne from the resort ! had I known better I would’ve carried my own decor & party pops…..

One of the great resorts in the maldives. Worth the try
Liked · Amazing Facilities Great staff Amazing host (Zakaria) Amazing food selections
Disliked · *They keep running out of coconuts 🥲 only had one coconut upon arrival rest of my stay they didnt have any. *The walkway got no slope And with the rain theres no way of walking because the walk ways are full of water. *Water villas are beautiful, but very very noisy you can feel every wave hitting the villa (might be only because of the cyclone nearby). The beach villa on the other hand is wonderful.
