Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas

Anantara Kihavah is the very definition of Maldivian perfection. From the moment we touched down by seaplane onto the island’s soft white sands, we were enveloped in tranquility, luxury, and warm island hospitality. Our villa was simply breathtaking—spacious, private, and designed with elegant island-inspired touches. The private pool, open-air bathroom, and direct access to the turquoise lagoon made it feel like our own secluded haven. Every sunrise and sunset felt like a personal spectacle, painted just for us. But the crown jewel of our stay was without a doubt SEA, the underwater restaurant. Dining here is a once-in-a-lifetime experience—surrounded by panoramic glass walls that offer a mesmerizing view of the vibrant marine life just inches away.

We had the most wonderful stay in easily one of the best resorts in The Maldives. It was a paradise on earth with the in-house reefs being so accessible on the island and an immaculate over water pool villa with the most lovely of sunsets, surrounded by a blanket of glistening stars and a myriad of fishes just by the deck! Victor, Mark, Chef Joakim and Chef Alex were very kind to us. Special mention to our villa host - Ismail for organising all the little gritty details for us, Aboo and Yusof who always attended to us when we are out eating at the restaurants. We felt extremely welcome by the chefs at Spice - Chef Ramadhan, Chef Noon, Chef Jithin and the Indian chefs who make sure we are always well taken care of and fed. One could feel how genuinely they care about the food and guests. Thank you for the hospitality and amazing experience!

World class everything!! Food, accommodations, views, service, amenities, activities. You literally CAN NOT go wrong! We stayed in the over-the-water villas and I did not want to leave the room at all! The only thing I WILL caution is that this is not a "for everyone" destination. Someone who cannot sit down and enjoy beauty will ruin this trip. Leave them home. This destination is worth EVERY penny but be careful who you share it with!

From start to finish the experience was magical - the hotel has truly thought of everything to make you feel welcome, comfortable, spoilt and relaxed. The food is incredible, the amenities are extensive and the service is impeccable. A huge thank you to Piyal for looking after our family so well - he was professional, extremely helpful and welcoming! We hope to come back one day!

Despite I had two bad experiences one regarding non functioning AC for three days till they move me out and departure bad moment of nearly missing my flight I will vote for this resort because of their staff. Atmosphere and Vibes. The food you die for it.
