A Festive Escape at Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas

August 20, 2025

The Maldives has a way of making every moment feel special, but during the festive season, Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas takes it to another level. This year, the island celebrates the holidays through the elements of earth, water, fire, and air, blending nature’s beauty with traditions that bring people together.

Christmas in Paradise

The celebrations begin with the lighting of the island tree, followed by Santa’s arrival with a Maldivian twist. On Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, guests can look forward to beachfront feasts, sunset cocktails, and relaxed family gatherings. For children, the fun continues with gingerbread house decorating, a pirate cruise to nearby islands, and even a playful climbing wall challenge.

Welcoming the New Year

As the year comes to a close, Kihavah sets the stage for a night to remember. New Year’s Eve starts with cocktails inspired by the cosmos before moving into a Gala Dinner by the sea, complete with live cooking stations, world-class flavors, and vibrant entertainment. The evening ends in true island style-with fireworks and a countdown beneath a star-filled sky.

Orthodox Christmas by the Ocean

On January 7th, Orthodox Christmas offers a quieter, more reflective celebration. Inspired by the element of water, the evening features soulful live music and a serene oceanfront dining experience.

Beyond the Holidays

The festive calendar is filled with experiences that make the most of Kihavah’s unique setting. Guests can savor a private sunset wine tasting on a sandbank, dine at SEA, the world’s only underwater wine cellar, or embrace wellness rituals designed to reconnect body and mind. From family activities to romantic escapes, each moment is carefully crafted to feel unforgettable.

A Season Made for Memories

With its reimagined Beach Pool Villas, exceptional dining, and thoughtful programming, Anantara Kihavah offers more than just a holiday-it’s a celebration of life, nature, and togetherness in one of the world’s most breathtaking destinations.

This festive season, trade snow for sand and make your holiday truly extraordinary.
