Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas unveils a collection of expansive private pool residences.
Setting a new precedent in nature-inspired design and luxurious living in the greatest aquatic paradise on earth, Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas has launched its collection of the largest private pool residences in the world, with renovation of the resort’s two-bedroom overwater pool residences complete.
Perched over a crystal-calm lagoon and offering commanding views of the Indian Ocean to offer the quintessential Maldivian experience, the two overwater retreats are generously spaced at 1,500sqm and feature floor-to-ceiling windows across their entirety. Outfitted with a professional working kitchen, as well as a living and dining room, each en-suite bedroom – found at either end of the villa – features ample individual outdoor living space, whilst the infinity pool and shaded outdoor dining sala is the ideal hangout for shared leisure activities.
With fitness and wellness being a bigger focus than ever for modern-day travellers, the redesign of these residences saw the addition of a gym fully equipped with the latest TechnoGym machinery, and a couple’s spa treatment room. Both rooms are fitted with retractable blinds, allowing for ample sunlight by day and unfiltered stargazing at night. Whilst relaxing with a signature Anantara Spa massage, a peek into the marine life just beneath the residence is made possible with the strategic placement of glass panels underneath plush spa treatment beds. Glass-bottomed whirlpool bathtubs have also been fitted in each bathroom, providing therapeutic massage and astounding underwater views even during bath time.
Staying true to the heritage of the Maldives, each residence features kajan thatched palm roofs and balau hardwood flooring spanning the entire length of the expansive outdoor deck, accompanied by netted hammocks suspended over water. Tiled in natural sukabumhi stone, the infinity pool presents an ever-shifting overtone of green and blue with each movement of the sun, mirroring the hues of the turquoise-coloured surroundings.
