Leisure

Gain physical poise and mental peace through ancient exercises drawn from centuries of traditional South Asian wisdom. Yoga for beginners is available from our professional instructors beachside while more seasoned aficionados can take it up a notch with a private session - one of our signature Maldives resort activities.

You may be thousands of miles away from it all, but our boutique on Dhigu brings the world to you, with the bare necessities and exotic goods and handicrafts from across Asia and the Indian Subcontinent.

While staying at Anantara in the Maldives, you will be treated to an array of inspired culinary creations. Why not learn the tricks of the trade with a cooking class from our resident master chefs? Learn to recreate traditional Maldivian or Thai and fusion dishes to impress your friends back home.

Open for children from the ages of 3 to 12, the Dhoni Kids Club keeps our youngest guests entertained during their holidays with an action-packed programme featuring a variety of beach and outdoor activities, creative crafts and games that are fun, educational and culturally enriching. All are under the supervision of our Kids' Coordinator. Children aged three or under are welcome when accompanied by an adult. Childcare services are available for a fee.

The fitness centre and gym is equipped with everything you expect to keep you looking and feeling good. Rejuvenate your body as you work out alone or with your personal trainer.

No need for sunblock in our stylish showpiece library, where you can sink into a plush armchair and enjoy a new novel or catch up on all that is going on back in the ‘real world' on our computers with high-speed Internet.

Clear your mind and achieve a sense of heightened wellbeing with gentle stretching and meditation to start off your day. At our guided meditation sessions on the beach, you'll catch the island as it awakens. Draw inspiration from the gorgeous island surrounds. 

Slide into the tranquil waters of our stunning freshwater infinity-edge pool situated right on the beach's edge. Gaze out across the expanse of an aquamarine sea as you float, soak or splash your worries away. Protected by outer reefs, the shallow waters of our large lagoon offers an ideal spot for wading, floating or a relaxed swim.

Our floodlit tennis courts allow you to continue with a doubles match even after the sun sets. Our fitness centre staff are at hand to provide lessons for beginners or a little bit of a challenge if you're looking for a partner. 

Feeling waterlogged? Landlubbers can always take part in a pick-up match of volleyball or badminton on the beach - just let us know and we'll provide the nets and equipment and turn a strip of beach into your court.
