Highlights
Lose yourself in discovery at Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas
Description
Set within the Baa Atoll UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, Anantara Kihavah is an island where natural beauty and unique experiences create memories of a lifetime. Recognised as a premier luxury resort in Maldives, it is just minutes away from Hanifaru Bay, home to the world’s largest gatherings of manta rays, our vibrant house reef surrounds the island with extraordinary marine life and endless turquoise horizons.
Dine beneath the ocean at SEA, the Maldives’ only underwater caviar restaurant, or journey through the cosmos at SKY, the country’s first overwater observatory. Drift into serenity at our overwater spa as marine life glides beneath your treatment bed, or retreat to the privacy of your villa set amidst lush nature or perched above the lagoon.
Lose yourself in barefoot luxury, where every experience from snorkelling with turtles to sharing starlit moments, connects you to the beauty of the Maldives, the wonder of nature, and the people you love most.
