The Maldives


Wildlife

Always with the crows. It doesn’t matter if it’s the desert or the beach….a valley or a mountain, the crows always find me. The star of the show was not the crows but another flying beast, the bats.


Anantara Resort


The resort is located on the Baa Atoll in a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.

Anantara Kihavah Maldives is a private island resort and is rated as 5 star. The rating is evident by how well the property is kept up, the style and quality of the room itself, the eminties offered and the willingness of the staff to make sure you have an excellent stay.

Bottom Line…….This place is fucking AMAZING!

Maps

Just a little hop and a scoot over Saudi Arabi and Iraq and we find ourselves in The Maldives. The warm and familiar embrace of the Indian Ocean was calling. All and all the 3 plane rides totaled 10,412 miles.
