Where the Indian Ocean Becomes Your World
Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas is a private island sanctuary inside the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve of Baa Atoll — one of the Maldives' most pristine and biodiverse atolls. Arrive by a breathtaking 35-minute seaplane journey from Velana International Airport, touching down on turquoise waters that frame your own slice of paradise.
Overwater Villas
Each villa is a world unto itself — suspended above the lagoon, with direct ocean access, a private infinity pool, and uninterrupted views of the Indian Ocean. Designed for couples, families, and discerning travellers who seek both seclusion and indulgence.
SEA.FIRE.SPICE.SKY — A Dining Universe
Anantara Kihavah is home to one of the world's most extraordinary dining concepts. Dine beneath the ocean at SEA — the Maldives' first underwater restaurant and wine cellar. Experience elevated Japanese-Peruvian cuisine at FIRE, Asian haute cuisine at SPICE, and cocktails under the stars at SKY — the Maldives' first over-water observatory. Mediterranean poolside dining at MANZARU and all-day international fare at PLATES complete the picture.
House Reef & Golden Wall
Steps from your villa lies one of the Maldives' most celebrated house reefs — home to 300 species of fish and over 130 coral varieties. The iconic Golden Wall descends 30 metres, draped in vivid soft corals. Snorkel or dive directly from the beach, guided by the resort's resident marine biologist.
Anantara Spa
Suspended above the sea, the Anantara Spa offers six overwater treatment rooms, infrared and Finnish saunas, a steam room, and signature Ayurvedic and Shirodhara therapies. The Kihavah Signature Healing (90 minutes) — a journey through air, fire, and earth — is the resort's defining wellness ritual.
Resort Activities
From PADI-certified scuba diving and flyboarding to stargazing at the SKY Observatory, sunset cruises in the UNESCO Marine Biosphere, and the Thiththi Boli Kids Club — Anantara Kihavah offers a full spectrum of experiences for every guest.
