This festive season, Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas invites guests to embark on a transformative holiday journey that celebrates connection, wonder, and the beauty of nature through carefully curated experiences inspired by earth, water, fire, and air.
The resort’s holiday programming promises a magical escape for both couples and families, beginning with a spectacular Christmas celebration. The festivities will kick off with the traditional island tree lighting and Santa’s unique arrival, setting the stage for an extraordinary holiday experience.
Christmas Eve and Christmas Day will feature enchanting beachfront feasts and sunset cocktails, creating opportunities for joyful family gatherings and memorable moments. Children will be particularly delighted with a range of festive activities, including interactive gingerbread house decorating and an adventurous children’s pirate cruise exploring local islands. A friendly wall-climbing challenge will add an extra layer of excitement for younger guests.
As the year concludes, the resort’s New Year’s Eve celebration will transport guests to a celestial experience. Cosmic-themed cocktails by the sea will precede an elaborate Gala Dinner featuring world-class cuisine, live cooking stations, and vibrant entertainment. The evening will culminate in a breathtaking countdown under the starlit Maldivian sky.
On January 7th, the resort will honor Orthodox Christmas with a serene celebration centered around the element of water. Guests can enjoy oceanfront dining, soulful live music, and moments of quiet reflection, offering a peaceful counterpoint to the earlier festive revelry.
Throughout the holiday period, guests can indulge in signature experiences that showcase the resort’s unique offerings. Highlights include an intimate sunset wine tasting on a private sandbank and an extraordinary five-course coral-aged wine dinner at SEA, the world’s only underwater wine cellar. These experiences are complemented by grounding island activities, rejuvenating wellness rituals, and exceptional culinary delights.
The resort’s newly reimagined Beach Pool Villas provide the perfect backdrop for these extraordinary experiences. Designed to help guests reconnect with nature, loved ones, and themselves, Anantara Kihavah promises an unforgettable seasonal celebration that blends luxury, style, and meaningful moments.
With its thoughtful approach to holiday programming and stunning Maldivian setting, Anantara Kihavah offers travelers a truly exceptional festive escape that goes beyond traditional resort experiences.
