Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas

Our stay in Kihavah Anantra was absolutely fabulous. We have enjoyed every aspect of it. Great accommodations, fabulous nature. Staff was very friendly, professional, always taking care of our every need often going " an extra mile" to accommodate our wishes. We had a wonderful time! I want to take this opportunity to say thank you to the hotel Manager and our kind butler for making our stay extra. My thanks also extend to everyone from staff as well. Thank you! Thank you!

We spent seven nights at Anantara Kihavah as part of my 60th birthday trip. Our Beach Pool Villa, number 110, had a beautiful, wide sandy beach and easy access to the house reef. Snorkelling straight from the beach and seeing sharks, rays and turtles were highlights. The staff throughout the resort were friendly and helpful. Special thanks to our villa host, Piyal, for his kindness, personal attention and help with our arrangements. He made us feel welcome and well looked after, and we hope management recognises his dedication. We appreciated the cake, champagne and gifts, which reflected both my birthday and our DISCOVERY Platinum membership. However, we would have welcomed more flexibility with the membership benefits. Being unable to redeem previously earned DISCOVERY Dollars because of our travel agency booking was particularly disappointing. Food, drinks and spa treatments were expensive, with drinking water charged separately at dinner. More attentive beach service beyond the main pool area would have been welcome. Seaplane movements near our villa and motorised water sports occasionally affected the tranquillity, and a temporary bar closure for a large group was unfortunate. We happily pay for quality and truly appreciate beautiful surroundings, warm hospitality and thoughtful details. At this price level, a little more generosity and flexibility would make the experience feel more rewarding. Overall, a beautiful island with memorable snorkeling and a caring team, with some room to improve the overall value for guests.

We spent four nights at Anantara Kihavah for a friend's 50th birthday, and it was truly exceptional. The island is breathtaking, the Beach Pool Villa was perfect, and the food was excellent throughout. But the real standout was our villa host, Piyal. He arranged our spa treatments and reef snorkeling sessions flawlessly — everything confirmed and effortless. More than that, he looked after us with a warmth that felt personal, not rehearsed. When you're celebrating a milestone with people you love, that kind of care means everything. Five stars, easily — and if you stay here, ask for Piyal. You won't regret it.

Top notch vacation experience. Food was delicious. Water villas were outstanding. Shameen, our villa host, was wonderful — helpful and responsive. Ram the yoga instructor and massage therapist was fantastic.

Amazing location. The service was amazing from start to finish and the food was great. I would definitely come again.
