Kanuhura
Nothing says ‘remote island luxury’ more than the Kanuhura Maldives.
Set within an island just a kilometre long and 200 metres wide, this romantic resort offers a world of possibilities for you to explore. The small Jehunuhura island is framed by pristine white sand, providing panoramic views of the Indian Ocean for each lucky guest.
The resort underwent comprehensive renovation in 2016, revealing a magnificent fresh look, with contemporary touches whilst maintaining its authentic Maldivian charm. Whichever villa you choose, you can revel in your king-size bed, outdoor shower and pillow menu for the perfect night’s rest.
The Kanuhura offers 80 sun-kissed villas, positioned on both the sunrise and sunset side of the Jehunura island, as well as over the crystal-blue waters of the Indian Ocean. With private decks for each villa or your own personal, white sand beach and lovingly designed interiors, marvel at the home-from-home feel in this tropical paradise. Everything has been taken care of here. From the five unique dining options to the fully-equipped children’s and teens clubs, experience the Maldives in your own way.
Whether you’ve come to soak up the sunshine and switch off from it all by the tranquil infinity pool, or you want to explore everything the Indian Ocean has to offer, the Kanuhura Maldives ticks all the right boxes. If you can’t bear to drag yourself away from your villa and the sunshine, a personal villa host can organise everything your hearts desire 24/7.
From champagne breakfasts to chocolate-dipped strawberries or a relaxing in-villa massage. Get-up-and-go types can choose from private dolphin safaris, night time diving and even private dining on Jehunuhura. There’s enough going on here to enjoy different experiences every day.
Those fanatical about food will devour everything at Kanuhura’s five restaurants, whilst its very own street food market offers deli-style snacks to tempt the taste buds. From fresh Indian Ocean seafood to Italian favourites and perfectly barbecued steaks, enjoy your culinary quest just a stone’s throw from your indulgent villa.
