Surrounded by nothing but turquoise lagoon which melts into sapphire blue, the Maldives luxury resort island of Anantara Kihavah and its pure white sands rise up out of the ocean like a mirage. For centuries, this was where Arab traders sailing to the Far East took shelter; a lush paradise blessed by coconut, papaya and mango trees. Navigating archipelago to archipelago by the stars, the seafarers were also drawn by the riches of the ocean surrounding the island – where a prehistoric volcano sank back into the depths, leaving blooming corals within a house reef and a wealth of lagoon fish. Wishing to keep the pristine nature of the island intact, not one tree has been moved – as evidenced by the villas growing up around them. The design pays homage to the seafarers of old, fusing Indian Ocean, Arab and Portuguese motifs with indigenous materials. Located on the Baa Atoll in a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas invites you to imagine your own barefoot luxury paradise. Savour the luxury of space in your private pool beach villa or over water villa. Snorkel with mantas and Hawksbill sea turtles. Stargaze into the night. Dine on a deserted sandbank or beneath the ocean’s surface at this enchanting sanctuary

My family and I had a wonderful time at Anantara Kihavah. We stayed in both the beach and ocean villas - rooms were clean, well maintained and spacious. Siham our host was always helpful with queries and managing our family’s requirements. Thank you for a memorable holiday.

Extraordinary experience, everyone is extremely nice and ready to help, beautiful property, our diving instructors were skilled and amazing in making us feel comfortable through our first scuba diving experience. Underwater sea restaurant is worth a visit both for food as well as the views! Best of all, our villa host Tina made the experience par excellence.

Our stay at **Anantara Kihavah Maldives** felt like a dream paradise we never wanted to leave. Everything was beautiful and deeply relaxing. The house reef is just off the shore and perfect for snorkelling, with an incredible variety of marine life—we saw colourful fish, stingrays, nurse sharks, and even dolphins jumping out of the water. The underwater restaurant and stargazing observatory were unforgettable highlights. Exceptional service, delicious food, and our wonderful butler **Ting Ting**, who was always cheerful, helpful, and even helped us take amazing photos, made our stay truly impeccable. Highly recommended!

We had the most memorable and enjoyable holiday at Anantara Kihavah. The resort’s facilities were truly world‑class, and every detail felt thoughtfully crafted. The ocean and the undersea life were so amazing. What made the experience exceptional, though, was the team—their warmth, attentiveness, and genuine service made us feel cared for at every moment. Thanks to them, we had an unforgettable stay and a truly wonderful time.

What made our stay at AKV truly special wasn’t just the beautiful views or the stunning rooms — it was the people. We built real friendships with the restaurant and spa staff, and those connections are what we’ll remember most. At Sea & Spice, Ali always remembered us and greeted us warmly every time we dined there. We had many lovely conversations, and on our last day, Ali and Salah (hope I spelled the names correctly) surprised me with a special gift — something I had really wanted, which made it even more meaningful. I honestly can’t thank them enough. At the spa, Teepee was incredibly welcoming and kind. She generously gifted us beautiful corals and shells, which felt very personal and thoughtful. At Manzaru, Reji brought so much joy to our meals. He’s humorous, warm, and such a pleasure to talk to. We laughed a lot with him, and it was fascinating to learn about local culture and staff life through our conversations. Overall, AKV is a stunning resort, but what truly makes it unbeatable is the exceptional service and genuine warmth of the staff. They don’t just provide service — they create real human connections, and that makes all the difference.
