Our rating
4/5
Strong
This is two islands, and only the eastern one gives you the reef, so book a beach villa there if snorkelling matters. From that shore the coral starts close in, and the stretches by the spa and near Luna are the ones guests single out, with blacktips including juveniles, nurse sharks, rays and turtles all reported. The water villas on the north island sit over lagoon, with a shallow rocky patch below some decks that is not somewhere to jump in. The resort is young, so the picture is still forming. Tell us snorkelling is the priority and we will place you accordingly.

Land at Velana after 16:00 and the last seaplane of the day will have gone, which means a night in Malé before you reach the island.
Shared seaplane, daylight only. Land at Velana in the evening and you spend a night in Malé first, so send us your flights and we will check the connection before you book.

An unforgettable honeymoon in paradise
We spent our honeymoon at Ananea Madivaru and had an amazing time. Everything was perfectly organised from the moment we arrived in Malé.

About the resort
Nine restaurants, and one is Asian Food Street: four kitchens doing Maldivian, Thai, Korean and Indian. For anyone bringing parents who want a proper Indian dinner rather than a grudging one, that settles it.
Two islands, joined by an overwater walkway in North Ari, twenty minutes out by seaplane. Three nights for two in a Beach Pool Villa comes with half board, the seaplane and every Maldivian tax inside the figure.
What you pay
Pick a villa and a length above. Every figure is the whole stay for two adults: the villa and its pool, the return seaplane and every Maldivian tax. Nothing lands at check-out.
Every Deluxe villa and every Residence carries 15% off the room rate on the high-season dates. The discount is already in the prices above, and it carries a booking deadline, so ask us to confirm it for your dates.
Stay five nights or more on those categories and each adult gets a spa credit, against a massage of an hour or longer at Kandu Spa, once in the stay. Reason enough to take five rather than four.
The seaplane is a fixed lump in every price, the same on three nights as on ten, so a week works out roughly a fifth cheaper per night than three.
Overwater is cheaper here than the deluxe beach villa, which is unusual, and lagoon view is the cheapest upgrade on the island.
A separate 15% offer runs on the Two Bedroom Beach Pool Villa, with its own booking deadline.
What’s included, and what isn’t
In the price: the villa and its private pool, half board, the return seaplane for everyone in the room, and every Maldivian tax.
Not in the price: your international flights, travel insurance, all drinks, the spa, excursions and diving, Indian TCS, and anything not named above.
Half board here is a partial dine-around, carrying a daily dinner credit per adult towards the a la carte rooms. Half Board Plus adds the drinks list, and a full dine-around all-inclusive sits above that. Tell us how you eat and we will price all three.
Who this isn’t for
Anyone after a small barefoot island. Two islands, 109 villas, nine restaurants and a nightclub. Busy by design, and it does not pretend otherwise.
Anyone landing late. Seaplanes fly 06:00 to 16:00, there is no boat alternative to ananea Madivaru Maldives, and an evening arrival means a night in Malé at your own expense. Send us your flights first.
Couples on their own cannot book the Two Bedroom Beach Pool Villa or either two-bedroom Residence. The resort sets a minimum of three adults, or two adults and a child over six. These prices do not apply to bookings from the UK, Ireland, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, France, South Korea or China.
Before you book
Children under six stay and eat free on their parents’ plan, though green tax and the seaplane fare apply from age two. Six to eleven carries a nightly rate; from twelve, the adult one.
The festive fortnight is not sold at these prices. Compulsory dinners land on 24 and 31 December, with a five-night minimum across the New Year. We price those on request.
Tell us your dates and the ages of anyone travelling. We will put half board beside both upgrades and apply the early bird if your dates qualify. Message our Maldives specialists on WhatsApp or send us an enquiry. We reply within 24 hours.
