Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas, set within the UNESCO-listed Baa Atoll, offers a rare blend of expansive private pool villas, world-class dining and immersive island experiences in an exceptionally refined setting.

Located on the pristine island of Kihavah Huravalhi, this exceptional resort is defined by its sense of space, privacy and architectural elegance. Villas and residences are positioned either above the lagoon or along untouched stretches of white sand, each featuring generous proportions, private infinity pools and a seamless connection to the surrounding environment. The design is contemporary yet warm, with timber accents and open-plan living spaces that frame uninterrupted views of the Indian Ocean, creating a sanctuary that feels both indulgent and deeply serene.

Dining at Kihavah is nothing short of extraordinary, with a collection of restaurants that elevate the culinary experience to new heights. SEA, the resort’s iconic underwater restaurant and wine cellar, offers a truly unforgettable setting beneath the ocean’s surface, while FIRE, SPICE and Plates deliver a diverse range of international flavours in striking locations. SKY Bar completes the experience with panoramic views and a unique overwater observatory, making each evening feel distinctly special.

Experience

The island offers an exceptional range of experiences, from exploring vibrant coral reefs just steps from the villa to encounters with manta rays in nearby Hanifaru Bay. Watersports, diving and sailing provide more active pursuits, while cycling through lush jungle paths or relaxing on secluded beaches allows for a slower pace. The resort also caters effortlessly to families, with dedicated spaces and activities designed to engage younger guests without compromising the overall sense of tranquillity.

Wellness

The overwater spa is a serene retreat, offering a holistic approach to wellbeing through a range of treatments, wellness programmes and yoga sessions. Complemented by a fully equipped fitness centre and personalised wellness experiences, it provides the perfect balance of restoration and vitality in a setting that feels entirely removed from the outside world.

Where

Located in the Baa Atoll, Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas is reached by a scenic 35-minute seaplane transfer from Malé International Airport, offering a spectacular introduction to one of the Maldives’ most exclusive island retreats.
