Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas is set to welcome the festive season with a unique programme inspired by the four natural elements — earth, water, fire, and air. The island resort has designed a series of experiences blending seasonal joy with the beauty of its surroundings, offering a magical retreat for both couples and families.
The celebrations begin with the lighting of the island’s Christmas tree and Santa’s grand arrival in signature Kihavah style. Guests will be treated to beachfront feasts, sunset cocktails, and family gatherings across Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Children can look forward to activities such as decorating gingerbread houses, joining a pirate cruise to explore nearby islands, and tackling a friendly wall-climbing challenge.
New Year’s Eve promises an unforgettable evening under the stars, starting with cosmic-themed cocktails by the sea. The night will feature a lavish Gala Dinner showcasing world-class dishes, live cooking stations, and energetic entertainment, before culminating in a vibrant countdown beneath the Maldivian night sky.
The festivities extend into January, with Orthodox Christmas on the 7th offering a peaceful celebration inspired by the element of water. Guests can enjoy oceanfront dining, soulful live music, and moments for quiet reflection.
Throughout the season, the resort will also offer signature experiences, including sunset wine tastings on a private sandbank and a five-course coral-aged wine dinner at SEA, the world’s only underwater wine cellar. Additional island-inspired activities, wellness treatments, and gourmet experiences will further immerse guests in the elements, creating opportunities to reconnect with nature, loved ones, and themselves.
With its stunning location, newly enhanced Beach Pool Villas, and a carefully curated festive programme, Anantara Kihavah stands as a luxurious choice for celebrating the season in style.
