Discover Holistic Healing at Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas with Renowned Wellness Experts

Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas invites guests to embark on a deeply holistic journey guided by three distinguished wellness practitioners, each a master in the art of healing. Drawing from centuries-old wisdom and contemporary science, these experts bring a wealth of knowledge to the resort’s overwater spa sanctuary, offering therapies that harmonise body, mind and spirit amidst the tranquillity of the Maldivian Ocean.

From Ayurvedic lineage and energy-based therapies to sound healing and mindful movement, each practitioner presents a unique approach to wellbeing — empowering guests to discover balance, renewal and self-connection through bespoke treatments and personalised consultations.

A Legacy of Healing: Dr. Jithurag

A fifth-generation Ayurvedic physician, Dr. Jithurag continues a 300-year lineage of healing rooted in tradition and holistic balance. A Tantric student from the revered Rameswaram lineage, he combines Ayurvedic principles with Traditional Chinese Medicine, integrating marma therapy and acupuncture with Reiki and Pranic Healing.

His therapies merge ancient philosophies with modern diagnostics, using wellness screening technologies to analyse biomarkers and design truly personalised treatment plans. Guests may meet Dr. Jithurag for a complimentary consultation and explore his signature offerings, including TCM Acupuncture, Cupping Therapy, Marma Abhyanga and Back Restoration Therapy. Each session provides a tailored approach to inner harmony and enhanced vitality.

Harmony Through Energy and Movement: Sharath Ram

Holistic therapist and Ayurvedic healer Sharath Ram brings over 16 years of experience in guiding guests towards physical, mental and spiritual balance. His therapies combine the wisdom of Ayurveda with modern energy practices and therapeutic yoga, focusing on both healing and transformation.

Ram’s specialities include Chakra Inner Energy Balancing, Ayurveda Deep Fusion Therapy, Visceral Manipulation, Maderotherapy, and Mind-Body Healing — all designed to promote balance, strength and relaxation. Guests may also join his complimentary wellbeing workshops, such as The Art of Breathing and Dynamic Meditation, which explore mindful breathwork and movement to restore calm and clarity.

Holistic Wellbeing: Vinod Narayanan

From Kerala, India, Vinod Narayanan brings more than a decade of experience in Ayurveda, Yoga and holistic healing. His global practice spans Europe, Africa and Asia, where he has served as personal physician to dignitaries and guided retreats that combine ancient wisdom with modern energy work.

At Anantara Kihavah, Vinod offers deeply transformative therapies including Himalayan Sound Healing Massage, De-Armouring Body Therapy, Abdominal Detox, Access Bars Energy Healing, and Gut-Brain Rewiring. Through vibration, touch and energy alignment, his treatments release emotional blockages, enhance circulation and restore the natural rhythm of the body. Guests may meet him for a complimentary consultation and experience his sound-based healing journeys that harmonise body and spirit.

A Season of Healing in Paradise

Together, these three practitioners bring an extraordinary synergy to Anantara Kihavah’s wellbeing philosophy. From ancient Ayurveda to the vibrational resonance of sound, their expertise enhances the resort’s reputation as a sanctuary for complete rejuvenation.

Guests are invited to visit the Anantara Spa, suspended gracefully above the lagoon, and immerse in bespoke treatments, meditative workshops and personalised consultations. Each experience reflects Anantara’s holistic philosophy, inviting a deep connection to oneself, with nature and with timeless wisdom of healing traditions.

Further enriching this season of renewal, Anantara Kihavah unveils its reimagined Beach Pool Villas, contemporary sanctuaries of island serenity featuring natural textures, open spaces and private pools embraced by tropical greenery.
