Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas
Surrounded by nothing but the turquoise lagoon of a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve which melts into sapphire blue, the luxury resort island of Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas and its pure white sands rise up out of the ocean like a mirage.
Anantara Medjumbe Island Resort
Medjumbe Island off the coast of Mozambique is a jewel in the Quirimbas. The resort has only 12 villas so it is intimate, quiet, and remote, the perfect island to isolate yourself on your own private beach.
Anantara Iko Mauritius Resort & Villas
Located on the southeastern coast of Mauritius, Anantara Iko Mauritius Resort & Villas is steps from the tranquil and secluded white sands of Le Chaland Beach, which is said to have the bluest waters on the whole island.
Among the finest beach resorts in Vietnam, surrounded by mountains and overlooking the South China Sea, Anantara Quy Nhon Villas offers private beachfront basking with views of occasional fishermen passing by in their thungs (round basket boats). You’ll love falling asleep to the sounds of the waves crashing just beyond your private beachfront pool.
Anantara Rasananda Koh Phangan Villas

Anantara Desaru Coast Resort & Villas
Sun, sand, sea and "me time" describe Desaru Coast in Malaysia and although it is just over the border from Singapore, the contrast between them couldn’t be more pronounced. Desaru Coast is a stunning 17-kilometre stretch of untouched white sandy beach offering tranquil early morning walks and sun-kissed days popular for weekenders for the whole family.
Situated on the west coast of Bali, Seminyak is one of the most stylish and upmarket areas of the island and boasts one of the best stretches of beach.
