Barefoot island bliss at Kanuhura

 

 

Barefoot island bliss emanates over the three paradisaical islands of Kanuhura. A beach-chic bohemian vibe flows seamlessly throughout Kanuhura restaurants, spa treatment rooms and modern and elegant villas with natural woods, white-washed walls and thatch roofs that are courteously paired with bright furnishing and colorful artwork.

 

Flawless white sands, breezy beach side cabanas and a stunning alfresco restaurant in Kanuhura make up the neighboring uninhabited islands. A quick boat ride promises an afternoon of romance or Robinson Crusoe-style adventuring. Be whisked away across a turquoise lagoon to neighboring uninhabited Island. Book a beach side cabana for the entire day (complete with a bartender and butler) — you may just spot sea turtles nesting in the sand.

 

All this luxury isn’t just for grown-ups. Arguably one of Maldives’ most family-centered resorts, Kanuhura offers children endless fun at the K-Kids Club, floating splash park, games room and infinity pool. Ideal for families or groups, the Retreat Grand Beach Pool Villa complex comprises two separate villas side by side, connected by tropical gardens and a plunge pool.

 

Boredom isn’t an issue at this Maldives hotel thanks to Kanuhura’s wide range of activities. Whether you want to picnic on a private island, try out a Maldivian Warrior Workout, go scuba diving or night fishing, you’ll find something to suit your tastes. Though travelers of all ages can agree that jumping into the crystal-clear lagoon from the deck of your overwater villa is the ultimate perk of a stay at Kanuhura. 

 

Bask in the Maldivian sun on Kanuhura’s powdery stretches and indulge in all-day beach service. Experience Evian hydrating face spray, refreshing cold towels, fresh juices and a sunglass cleaning service. Choose from 60-plus treatments at Kanuhura Wellness Retreat and Spa, including five signature services and multi-day wellness journeys. The Couple’s Suite is one of nine treatment rooms, complete with its own Jacuzzi, changing room and additional bed for children to relax on while parents are pampered in paradise.

 

Kanuhura boasts of bohemian-inspired villas sprawled within the island. All villas come with free bicycles and semi-outdoor bathrooms, with the exception of the Sanctuary Pool Villa, which features three indoor bathrooms, two alfresco showers, an outdoor bar and kitchen.

 

 

While accommodations in Kanuhura vary in size and layout, all have whitewashed walls and floors and neutral-toned furnishings accented with vibrant pops of color in the form of throw pillows and funky artwork. The effect creates a contemporary retreat with a chic island vibe.
