When the seas are as clear as the Indian Ocean that surrounds the Maldives, it makes sense to explore below the waterline for your adventure, and the house reef at Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas is the perfect place for snorkelling and close encounters with the local marine life. The resort’s Baa Atoll location also puts it within easy reach of Hanifaru Bay, home to world’s largest gathering of manta rays.
Luxury. Relaxation. Commitment to green tourism. All of this is yours when you stay at Tivoli Ecoresort Praia do Forte Bahia, offering a truly immersive adventure travel experience. But if you want to mix it up a little and sample Brazil’s legendary rainforest, it’s also the perfect location, as the hotel offers a tour of the nearby Sapiranga Reserve. Here you’ll sample the unique flora and fauna, witness local communities and take time out for a dip in the Pojuca river.
Not many cities offer more access to the remarkable than Lisbon, with its unique mix of imperial and modern architecture alongside best-in-class galleries, as well as a thriving fine-dining scene. Of course, if you’re staying at Tivoli Avenida Liberdade Lisboa, the stunning Cervejaria Liberdade restaurant offers you the city’s finest seafood within the hotel itself, leaving more time to explore Lisbon’s enchanting streets.

Thanks to a stunningly ambitious conservation project, you can experience a one-of-a-kind adventure and beautifully upgraded villas at Anantara Sir Bani Yas Island Al Yamm Villa Resort. Established in 1971, the project has seen the introduction of multiple endangered species and marine life thrives here. The addition of apex predators such as cheetahs (once native in Arabia) means it offers a completely realistic safari experience populated by animals that might otherwise be extinct.
Looking out on immaculate grounds, over pristine beaches to the serene Indian Ocean, it’s hard to imagine a more tranquil setting than Anantara Kalutara Resort on Sri Lanka’s southwest coast. Whatever adventure travel ideas you have, the resort’s Gilder Adventure Tower offers wall climbing, abseiling, and a zipline experience over the lagoon. Guests can also enjoy a range of watersports, from jet skiing to canoeing, as well as boat excursions along the unexplored riverbanks of the Kalu Ganga, combining adrenaline-filled activities with the natural beauty of Sri Lanka.
Few places on earth feel as remote and unpopulated as the Liwa Desert, located in the Rub’ al Khali (or Empty Quarter) which stretches across four countries in the south of the Arabian Peninsula. To cross it is an otherworldly experience, and it is the perfect place for sand surfing or a desert safari. It’s best accessed from the UAE and specifically from the stunning Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort by Anantara, offering one of the region’s most unforgettable best adventure experiences.
