August 27, 2025 – This festive season, Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas invites guests on a journey of connection, wonder, and celebration, inspired by the four natural elements: earth, water, fire, and air. Thoughtfully curated experiences reflect the spirit of the season and the beauty of the island, creating a magical escape for couples and families alike.

Christmas unfolds with the lighting of the island tree and Santa’s arrival in true Kihavah style. Across Christmas Eve and Day, guests will enjoy beachfront feasts, sunset cocktails, and joyful family moments. Little ones can delight in gingerbread house decorating, a kids’ pirate cruise exploring local islands, and even a friendly wall-climbing challenge.

As the year draws to a close, New Year’s Eve invites guests to celebrate under the stars with cosmic-inspired cocktails by the sea, followed by a Gala Dinner featuring world-class cuisine, live cooking stations, and vibrant entertainment, all culminating in a spectacular countdown beneath the Maldivian sky.

On January 7th, Orthodox Christmas offers a serene celebration inspired by the element of water, featuring oceanfront dining, soulful live music, and moments of quiet reflection.

Throughout the festive calendar, guests can also indulge in signature experiences such as a sunset wine tasting on a private sandbank and a five-course coral-aged wine dinner at SEA, the world’s only underwater wine cellar. Grounding island activities, wellness rituals, and culinary delights complete the season’s offerings, each designed to reconnect guests with nature, loved ones, and themselves.

With its breathtaking setting, newly reimagined Beach Pool Villas, and unforgettable holiday programming, Anantara Kihavah is the ultimate destination to celebrate the season in luxury and style.
