Luxury 6-Seater Electric Transport for Resorts
When “Getting There” Becomes Part of the Luxury Experience
Picture Anantara Kihavah Maldives’ guests gliding silently from overwater villas to sunset champagne spots, sand swirling under fat tires. No rumbling engines. No exhaust fumes. Just the whisper of ocean breeze as the cart’s brushed-steel handles catch the light – because your transport should elevate the journey, not just enable it.
