Anantara Kihavah, Baa Atoll

Kihavah Huravalhi is a pristine, beautiful island in the Baa Atoll archipelago, and Anantara Kihavah has made waves as a prestigious resort. Arrive by seaplane and from the moment you reach land, the service is slick and the facilities are incredible. All the same, the resort still manages to cultivate a laid-back atmosphere, so you don’t feel overwhelmed with opulence. Families are well-catered for with plenty of dining options and entertainment for kids. The level of detail that has gone into the planning, maintenance and service, is quite impressive. Come here to be treated like royalty in paradise.

Each and every villa and residence is decked out with a generous sized private pool that seems to spill out either directly onto the sand or into the lagoon. The beach pool villa is 258 sqm with its elegant open-plan spaces, large comfortable beds, sunken bath, open-air bathroom, and state-of-the-art technology. From there, the villas and residences just get more fabulous, culminating with the four-bedroom beach pool residence that sleeps up to twelve adults and reaches almost 3,000 sqm in size. 

A delightful surprise at Anantara Kihavah is one of the finest underwater restaurants in the Maldives, built alongside a spectacular coral reef. Guests can eat fresh lobster and observe colourful fish as they swim on by. Four restaurant areas are aptly named Sea, Fire, Salt and Sky, and they serve gourmet, Japanese, Asian and international cuisine respectively. Additionally, you’ll find international, Maldivian and Mediterranean cuisine served at two additional bars. There is no shortage of wonderful food to enjoy, and full-board plans are available.

This high-end resort really ticks all the boxes, and guests generally leave completely delighted with the whole experience. Bring good friends or the whole family for a smooth, relaxing and all-encompassing experience in a private and tranquil Maldivian paradise.
