Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas x Savour BlackBookAsia Magazine

Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas has taken luxury to the next level with its newly refurbished two, three and four-bedroom beach pool residences. Cradled by lush foliage, swaying palms and bright bougainvillea accents, the redesign carefully preserves the element of space while marrying a light and airy interior with smart technology home comforts.

Executed by SODA, an award-winning architecture and interior design firm with offices in Bangkok and Singapore, the redesign of the residences was inspired by the natural beauty of the island whilst maintaining the pinnacle of spacious privacy which Anantara Kihavah is renowned for.

Staying true to the heritage of the Maldives, each residence features Kajan thatched palm roofs and Balau hardwood decks. Tiled in natural Sukabumhi stone, the newly extended swimming pools fitted with massage jets, presents an ever-shifting overtone of green and blue with each movement of the sun, mirroring the hues of the Indian Ocean. In homage to the brand’s hospitality culture, an outdoor Sala Thai provides shaded relief for family gatherings, whilst contemporary lounge furniture sets the stage for rest and relaxation.

The simple yet elegant façade belies the intricate redesign within. A light neutral palette uplifts a previously dark wood scheme, creating an atmosphere that is at once comfortable and relaxed, yet modern and luxurious. Rattan details, woven straw carpets, Maldivian motifs and teak wood furniture further accents the distinctively tropical vibe of each room. Floor-to-ceiling doors of the main living and dining area effortlessly slides open for sweeping views of the tropics. Further embodying island living at its most luxurious, a water feature wall designed to mimic that of a real waterfall, is the highlight in each revamped bathroom newly fitted with intelligent toilet technology. Wellbeing and fitness are also not forgotten – with each residence outfitted with its own private enclosed spa room and gym.

“Every detail that went into the redesign of our residences was carefully considered. It was key that we balanced between creating an utterly brand-new look and maintaining a welcoming familiarity which our repeat guests expects from their luxury holiday in the Maldives,” explains Ross Sanders, General Manager. “As Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas celebrates its ninth anniversary this month, this has created yet another milestone in the resort’s history.”
