Cabins:

The Keana can accommodate 18 guests. It has four cabins on the main deck. One of the cabins is equipped with a double bed, and three cabins each have two single beds that can be pushed together. There are also four cabins on the upper deck. Three of the cabins are each equipped with two single beds, which can be pushed together, and one cabin has a double bed. There is one additional cabin on the lower deck. The spacious cabins leave nothing to be desired. Each cabin has its own bathroom with a rainforest shower. They feature high-quality real wood interiors, ample storage space, and a dressing area, and are equipped with individually controlled air conditioning. All cabins have ocean views and windows that open, complete with light-blocking roller blinds. There are plenty of 220V (EU) power outlets. Wi-Fi (3G) is available on board. Hand towels, bath towels, and beach towels are provided.

Dining:

The cuisine is a blend of Asian and Western traditions. Meals are served on the main deck in the salon. The salon features a large open entrance from the aft platform, which can also be used by a limited number of guests for meals. Tea, coffee, and complimentary drinking water are available here 24 hours a day.

Sun Deck:

A staircase leads from the upper deck (bar) to the sun deck. There is a vast area with lounge chairs and sun mats, about one-third of which is shaded. It’s a popular spot for morning yoga or even for sleeping under the fantastic starry sky.

A staircase leads from the salon on the main deck to the upper deck. At the rear of the upper deck is the bar, which is open to the rear and features a counter and beer tap. The largely shaded bar invites you to linger, offering a magnificent view of the Maldivian sea. Furnished with comfortable armchairs, this is an ideal spot for morning coffee, fresh drinks throughout the day, or an evening sundowner.

Diving:

Diving takes place from the “dhoni.” This boat is 12 meters long, 4 meters wide, and seats 20 people. It is fully shaded, with an accessible roof for sunbathing and a restroom. Tanks are filled on the dhoni. The equipment remains on the dhoni, which means you don’t have to carry it around.

Qualifications: A minimum of 30 dives is required to participate fully in the diving program.

Equipment: A limited number of rental gear sets are available for exceptional cases.

Group Offer:

For group bookings of seven paying guests, the eighth person stays free of charge but pays the surcharges/taxes of 35 USD per night.

Non-divers receive a credit of 15 USD per day on-site (e.g., bar purchases, Wi-Fi, island tours, diving courses, etc.—not applicable to tips)
