THE PARADISE ISLAND IN THE MALDIVE
Naturally gifted with a plethora of magnificent qualities, the island paradise of Anantara Kihavah is considered by many to be a paradise island in the Maldives.
Located on the Baa Atoll in a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, a 25 min seaplane from the main island, Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas invites you to imagine your own barefoot luxury paradise. Savor the luxury of space in your private pool beach villa or overwater villa. Snorkel with mantas and Hawksbill sea turtles. Stargaze into the night. Dine on a deserted sandbank or beneath the ocean’s surface, watch cinema under the stars, and have an afternoon tea in the Orchid garden at this enchanting sanctuary.
The hospitality of Anantara Kihavah is incredible .you will be assisted by a dedicated host that will be available anytime for you either to pick you up or drop you to and from the villa or to assist you with the restaurant/spa /activities bookings.
Elvira’s tip: We had Mister Zidhan that was doing wonders for booking even what was fully booked. Truly recommend asking for him as your villa host!
The resort is entirely encircled by a magnificent house reef that is accessible directly from the beach or even from the steps of the over-water villas. In addition to the immaculate white powder sand beaches, lush vegetation, and crystal blue waters, the award-winning private sanctuary houses the world’s first underwater restaurant and wine cellar, and Maldives’ first overwater observatory in the Indian Ocean.
