Ananea Madivaru Maldives

Ananea Madivaru Maldives is a brand-new six-star resort by Germany's DERTOUR Group, launching in 2025 in the whale-shark-famous Ari Atoll, just 20 minutes by seaplane. The resort's defining feature is its twin-island layout, comprising two adjacent natural islands connected by an elegant walkway, giving guests double the space to explore and a uniquely varied vacation experience. The island houses 110 villas designed in a blend of modern minimalism and traditional Maldivian elements, with overwater net hammocks creating perfect romantic photo moments. Three of six rating dimensions — snorkeling, lagoon, and beach — score a perfect 5, thanks to Ari Atoll's exceptional marine ecosystem, one of the world's premier destinations for encountering whale sharks and manta rays. An impressive lineup of eight restaurants leads the pack among newly opened Maldives resorts, spanning seafood grills to refined dining. The kids' club is fully equipped, ensuring families enjoy their stay. The PADI dive center is led by an experienced team of instructors, and the spa offers a range of relaxation treatments. Private butler service is attentive, and a tennis court provides an outlet for sports enthusiasts.
