What Our Guests Say

Rated Travellers' Choice on TripAdvisor

A slice of heaven — the most magical resort we have ever visited

Anantara Kihavah exceeded every single expectation. The overwater villa was breathtaking — waking up to the turquoise lagoon every morning never got old. The house reef is world-class; we snorkelled with manta rays on our very first morning. The SEA underwater restaurant was the highlight of our entire Maldives trip. Staff remembered our names from day one. Truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Best resort in the Maldives — and we have stayed at many

We have stayed at over a dozen luxury resorts across the Maldives and Kihavah is in a league of its own. The Golden Wall dive was absolutely breathtaking — 30 metres of soft coral in every colour imaginable. FIRE restaurant's omakase menu was extraordinary. The butler service is seamless and unobtrusive. The SKY observatory at night left us completely speechless. Worth every penny.

Perfect honeymoon — every detail was flawless

From the moment we stepped off the seaplane onto the jetty to our final sunset cocktail at SKY observatory, every single detail at Kihavah was flawless. The butler service is exceptional — nothing was ever too much trouble. The Anantara Spa suspended over the water is unlike anything we have ever experienced. The Kihavah Signature Healing treatment was transformative. We will be back.

The house reef alone is worth the trip — world-class diving

As a keen diver, the house reef at Kihavah was the primary reason I chose this resort — and it did not disappoint. Over 300 species of fish, manta rays, nurse sharks, and the most vibrant coral I have ever seen in 20 years of diving. The resident marine biologist adds incredible value with guided snorkel and dive sessions. The Golden Wall is simply stunning. The resort itself is equally exceptional.
