Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas – Pure Stargazing and Underwater Magic

~~~

Set in the spectacular Baa Atoll—a designated UNESCO Biosphere Reserve—Anantara Kihavah offers an ultra-luxury escape where untouched nature meets extraordinary architecture. Surrounded by one of the most vibrant and pristine house reefs in the Maldives, this stunning island is the perfect sanctuary for travelers who crave absolute privacy, world-class dining, and bucket-list encounters both above and below the ocean.

The Villas: Whether nestled along the immaculate white beach or perched over the crystal-clear lagoon, all 80 expansive villas and residences feature massive private infinity pools. The design leans into elegant natural elements with rich timber, high ceilings, and swinging daybeds. For a truly unforgettable experience, the Overwater Pool Villas boast glass-bottom bathtubs, allowing you to watch the marine life glide by while you soak.

The Journey: Your journey begins with a highly scenic 35-minute seaplane flight directly from Velana International Airport, offering breathtaking aerial views of the coral atolls before landing right at the resort.

Dining & Culinary: The dining experiences here are nothing short of legendary. The crown jewel is the signature SEA, FIRE, SPICE, and SKY complex. Descend to SEA, the award-winning underwater restaurant and wine cellar, to dine surrounded by sharks, turtles, and colorful reef fish. In the evening, head up to SKY, an overwater bar that features the Maldives' most powerful telescope and a resident astronomer for mesmerizing stargazing sessions over the Indian Ocean.

Wellness & Marine Adventures: Steps from your villa, the island’s famous "Golden Wall" house reef drops off dramatically, offering some of the absolute best snorkeling and diving in the country right from the beach. Because you are in the Baa Atoll, you are also just a short boat ride from Hanifaru Bay for seasonal manta ray encounters. After a day of exploring, retreat to the overwater Anantara Spa for deeply restorative treatments accompanied by the soothing sound of the waves.
