KANUHURA MALDIVES – REALISE THE DREAM!
On a kilometre-long coral island amid a remote and dream-like Indian Ocean atoll, this beautiful luxury property overlooks one of the Maldives’ loveliest beaches and a huge, virtually coral-free lagoon. The resort dedicates itself to offering an extremely high standard of beach and over-water villa accommodation, friendly service and excellent cuisine – all in a relaxing and pampered environment where the skilful use of local Maldivian design and materials and the presence of excellent water-sports and spa facilities all combine to provide the ingredients of a very special welcome and hospitality.

Kanuhura offers five categories of luxury villas and suites to cater to the individual preferences and needs of each guest. Beach Villas are dotted on the island’s coral sand fringe. Each villa has its own private outdoor area with mesmerising views to the lagoon and ocean beyond. Water Villas are stretched out on the water, set along sun-bleached wooden pontoons. With private sundecks and steps that lead down into the water, each Water Villa offers guests direct access to the lagoon. Extensive use of hand-crafted wood, raffia, bamboo and other natural materials creates an elegant rustic interior befitting the naturally beautiful island surroundings.
Thin Rah, the main restaurant, offers expansive buffets with open-cooking stations where chefs prepare themed cuisines and individual dishes for guests. In one of three pavilions, each with a distinct theme and ambience, enticing choices include fish, seafood and regional specialities, fusion dishes, sushi and sashimi, exotic salads and fruits from markets around the world, homemade ice creams and selections for younger guests. Tables are set in the airy open-sided interior of the thatch-roofed restaurant or out on the beach overlooking the lagoon and poolside for alfresco breakfasts and evenings under the stars.

The Olive Tree serves à la carte dishes from throughout the Mediterranean and features an open pizza oven. Specialities are fresh pasta, 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.
Candlelit romance on the shores of the Indian Ocean sets the tone for Veli Café, 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.
Jehunuhura is a private island getaway just minutes from Kanuhura. The island offers guests a relaxing retreat from the heat of the afternoon sun with luxury picnic hampers for lunch. In the evening, the island hosts private parties or romantic hideaways for two!
