Luxurious Villas and Suites with dark wood interiors, natural materials, private gardens and open-air natural stone baths bring you even closer to the tropics. Beach Villas and Suites rest gently on the beach, where your own private space extends onto the sand and out to sea. Water Villas and Suites emerge from the warm waters on stilts, relax on your own private sundeck and your personal villa host will do the rest.

Enjoy the tranquillity of the deserted glistening white sands or if you are feeling more adventurous, the coral island is small enough to circumnavigate on foot within 20 minutes. Kanuhura boasts an array of activities from squash to water sports. The resort has its own Dive Centre; explore the wonders of the Lhaviyani Atoll and the outer reef or hire a speed boat to visit neighbouring atolls.

Unwind with a cocktail by the lagoon pool or pamper yourself in the Spa, one of the largest in the Maldives where you can enjoy a Polynesian massage. A fun-filled Kids Club and games room provides great enjoyment for younger guests and leaves you free to concentrate on the art of relaxation.

Kanuhura has a sociable atmosphere, as night falls savour the magical light in one of the resort’s 4 ambient restaurants and bars. Share a drink with new found friends or retreat for a romantic softly-lit meal on the beach. If you prefer, dine in private on your veranda with in-villa dining available 24hrs a day.
