Ananea Madivaru Maldives 

Unspoilt lagoon paradise

You’ll always only be a few steps from the sandy beach or crystal-clear waters of the lagoon at this luxury resort.

Get a double dose of relaxation at this resort which spans across two islands that are connected by an overwater walkway. Embodying the typical style of a Maldivian island, you can’t go wrong with everything this resort has to offer. Situated in a vast lagoon with a marine life rich house reef on the outer rims inviting all the keen snorkellers to take a closer look, or if you are looking just for a bit of R&R then the endless stretches of white sandy beach make this the perfect match. Brand new for 2025, this is not one to be missed.
