Famed for its laidback luxury and natural Maldivian charm, Kanuhura is a very private retreat. The island setting is genuinely breathtaking – an endless expanse of turquoise blue sea and serene sandy shores. A personal host welcomes you to one of the 95 stunning Water or Beach Villas. Created from traditional Maldivian thatch and stone, the interiors are inspired by local designs. The most luxurious feature teak floors, private courtyards, open-air bathrooms and a 24 hour personal host service. Intimate and tranquil, the water villas have sundecks and steps leading directly into the lagoon. The Beach Villas, with private verandas, are dotted along the island’s coral sand fringe. An in-room champagne bathing ceremony takes indulging to a new level, as do romantic meals delivered to your veranda, beach front or picturesque spots around the island. Your villa apart, a timber table at the Veli Café at one end of the island is perhaps the most romantic place to dine. The Spa is a vast wooden pavilion offering over 40 blissful therapies, including The Thari Experience which customises treatments to your zodiac sign. The resort’s sister island Jehunuhura is perfect for weddings or a romantic picnic for two.

Kanuhura offers 100 villas and grand villas in five different types of accommodation, each surrounded by the breathtaking natural beauty of the Indian Ocean, and each catering to the individual needs and desires of guests.

Lush foliage between the villas provides privacy.
Stretching from the centre of the island, a long wooden bridge leads guests to the resort's Water Villas. Captivating and romantic, they feature a large outdoor deck creating generous space for sunbathing and alfresco dining. The most
sensuous over-water bathrooms, semi-open to the sky, envelop guests in natural comfort with freeform stone bath and outdoor shower.
Here, set above the crystalline blue waters of the Indian Ocean, guests discover the true meaning of paradise.
Food for romance, for relaxation, for the sheer pleasure of company. On the porch of a villa, on a secluded beach, around the pool, on the seashore. At Kanuhura exists cuisines of unimaginable variety - and all the fruits of the Indian Ocean.
Buffet Restaurant - Thin Rah - The main restaurant at Kanuhura, Thin Rah offers expansive buffets with open-cooking stations where chefs prepare themed cuisines and individual dishes for guests. In one of three dining pavilions, each with a distinct theme and ambience, enticing choices include fish, seafood and regional specialties, fusion dishes, sushi and sashimi, exotic salads and fruits from markets around the world, homemade ice creams and selections for younger guests.
Mediterranean Restaurant - Olive Tree - serves a la carte dishes from throughout the Mediterranean and features an open pizza oven. Specialties are fresh pastas, salads and a mouth-watering selection of freshly caught grilled seafood and steaks. ‘Cuisines of the sun' inspired by the flavours of the Mediterranean are offered for lunch. Enjoy the intimate atmosphere of the restaurant itself, or take a poolside table for a romantic candlelit dinner as a glowing sunset fades into a million twinkling stars.
Seafood Restaurant - Veli Cafe - candlelit romance on the shores of the Indian Ocean sets the tone for Veli Cafe, with its white-linen covered tables and chairs set amidst the luxurious shade of frangipani trees on the beachside wooden terrace. An extensive choice of carefully selected wines make the perfect accompaniment to fresh seafood from the Maldivian atolls, fused with spices, pickles and sauces to form a delectable Thai cuisine. Serving dinner only to guests age 12 and over.
Lava Lounge - just around the corner from the Handhuvaru Bar, the air-conditioned Lava Lounge can be used as private movie cinema or for watching big-screen sporting events during major world competitions, for karaoke entertainment, or as a conference and meeting room (for up to 50 people, theatre-style). A range of audio-visual equipment is available.
Long a favourite destination for generations of travellers seeking the ultimate escape, Kanuhura's relaxed and welcoming ambience allows for moments of spontaneous fun and adventure.

From sublime pursuits of yoga, to tennis at the Peter Burwash Tennis Centre, to driving bio-degradable dissolving golf balls from the jetty deep into the ocean, guests revel in the chilled-out and adventurous spirit of Kanuhura.
The Spa is a place rich in peace and pleasure. A place of vibrant colour - a verdant island fringed by coral-white sand, and wrapped in the dramatic blues of sea and sky. So time stands still, allowing for perfect moments of personal discovery and rejuvenation.
The Spa has its own lavish pavilion, complete with a health and beauty centre with separate amenities for ladies and gentlemen. For total beauty treatment, the Beauty Salon offers hair care, manicure, pedicure and personalised make-up and styling.
