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

One of the most amazing places I’ve ever been! 🏝️ Crystal-clear turquoise water 🩵 and incredible marine life. From my room I could see stingrays, sea turtles, colorful reef fish, and even reef sharks 🦈. The staff were extremely friendly, professional, and very caring with the guests.

My vacation at Kihavah this time was absolutely perfect! The hotel environment is beautiful, the facilities are well-equipped, and the water villa was very comfortable to stay in. Lying on the hammock outside the water villa every day, feeling the breeze, was simply the most relaxing thing to do. The snorkeling experience was also amazing—Kihavah’s ecological environment is excellent. I also want to thank our butler, Kiki, for taking such good care of us during our stay. She was super prompt in responding to questions. Moreover, the restaurant staff at the resort were all incredibly friendly, making every meal and activity feel so pleasant. I hope to have the chance to return to Kihavah next time!

The room featured a swimming pool, a net bed, a lounge chair, and exceptionally comfortable hammocks. Dining options on the island were also delightful, particularly the Italian restaurant, while the undersea restaurant offered a distinctive experience. Our butler provided meticulous and attentive service throughout our stay, making this trip an outstanding and memorable journey.

We came for the fourth time in Anantara. We found it better, the villa where we stay was refurbished, new events were taking place during the week, like the latin night and the duet that was playing music almost every night. We'd like to thank all the Anantara stuff for being so kind and helpful and make our stay so relaxing!
