Anantara Kihavah Maldives – Private Island Luxury in the Baa Atoll Biosphere
A dazzling blend of indulgence, seclusion, and barefoot sophistication, Anantara Kihavah is a Maldivian gem in the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve of Baa Atoll. With its famous underwater restaurant, private pool villas, and world-class diving, this island delivers the ultimate in immersive luxury—perfect for honeymooners, families, and marine life lovers alike.
Location
Anantara Kihavah is located in the Baa Atoll, accessible by a scenic 35-minute seaplane flight from Velana International Airport in Malé. The journey itself is part of the adventure, offering breathtaking aerial views of the Indian Ocean’s atolls and coral reefs.
The Accommodation
The island features 80 spacious villas, including overwater and beachfront options—each with its own private pool, open-air bathroom, and expansive sundeck. Design blends Maldivian craftsmanship with contemporary luxury. Dining is spectacular with six restaurants, including the iconic SEA, the resort’s underwater restaurant, and SKY, the Maldives’ first overwater observatory. Teppanyaki, Middle Eastern, and gourmet international menus ensure a truly global culinary journey.
Activities, Snorkelling & Diving
Set within the Baa Atoll UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, Anantara Kihavah offers access to incredible marine biodiversity. The island has a pristine house reef just off its beach, while excursions include manta ray and whale shark encounters at Hanifaru Bay (seasonal, May–November). The PADI-certified dive centre offers reef, wreck, and night dives. Non-motorised water sports, sailing, dolphin cruises, and the island’s signature ‘Slumber Guru’ stargazing experience round out an exciting activity list.
Conservation & Giving Back
Anantara Kihavah is deeply committed to sustainability. The resort supports coral regeneration projects and guests can participate in coral planting and marine biology presentations. Its sustainability programme extends to energy efficiency, waste reduction, and community involvement initiatives that benefit nearby islands and schools.
Guest Information & Inclusions
The best time to visit is between November and April, though manta ray season (May to November) offers a compelling reason to travel off-peak. Kihavah is ideal for couples, honeymooners, and families—offering a children’s club, private in-villa dining, and all-inclusive or half-board options. Signature experiences include cinema under the stars, overwater spa treatments, and underwater wine pairing dinners.
