About this accommodation
Anantara Kihavah sits within the UNESCO Baa Atoll Biosphere Reserve, making it one of the most ecologically significant addresses in the Maldives. A 30-minute seaplane ride from Malé delivers guests to 80 overwater and beach villas spread across a 13-hectare private island. The resort is renowned for its extraordinary marine encounters — the surrounding waters draw whale sharks and manta rays in abundance, and the Golden Wall is celebrated as one of the finest dive sites in the archipelago. Six dining venues include the exceptional SEA underwater restaurant, where guests eat beneath the ocean surface, and the STARS observatory doubles as a dining experience under the night sky. Meal plan options span Bed & Breakfast through to full All Inclusive, giving guests full flexibility. With 4.9 stars across 630 reviews, Kihavah delivers ultra-luxury without sacrificing the natural wonder that makes the Maldives extraordinary.
