Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas has earned a place on the 2026 Travel + Leisure 500, a prestigious annual directory highlighting the world’s most exceptional hotels and resorts. This inclusion, which follows the publication’s 2025 World’s Best Awards, recognizes the property for its consistent delivery of high-quality service, sophisticated design, and memorable guest experiences. Located within the protected waters of the Baa Atoll UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, the resort is widely noted for its private island setting and extensive marine biodiversity.
The accolade highlights the resort's status as a premier destination in the Indian Ocean, distinguished by its signature underwater dining and overwater accommodations. This recognition arrives alongside recent infrastructure updates, including the renovation of the property’s Beach Pool Villas. The achievement also contributes to a broader success for the resort’s parent company, Minor Hotels, which saw ten of its global properties featured in this year’s edition of the list.
