Anantara Kihavah
About Anantara Kihavah
Anantara Kihavah is a private island located in a UNESCO Biosphere in the Baa Atoll, a tiny island known for its pure white sands and turquoise lagoon.
The Anantara Kihavah offer 80 beach and over-water villas and residence whose design pays homage to the seafarers of old, fusing Indian Ocean, Arab and Portuguese motifs with indigenous materials.
Snorkel with mantas and Hawksbill sea turtles. Stargaze into the night. Dine on a deserted sandbank or beneath the ocean’s surface in the underwater restaurant.
Hide away in your private slice of paradise, steps from the ocean on sandy shores or directly perched over azure waters.
Swim in your pool, laze on a swinging daybed and take in the most magnificent of sunsets in the Maldives from your water villa.
All villas at Anantara Kihavah feature the latest in technology, including an iPad concierge, iPod dock and Bose sound system.
Enjoy thoughtful touches such as pillow and soap menus, yoga mats, beach bags with sandals, and a stocked wine cellar. Your Villa Host is also on call 24 hours a day.
What's so Special?
For centuries, Arab traders en route to the Far East took shelter on the island, a lush paradise blessed by coconut, papaya and mango trees.
Navigating archipelago to archipelago by the stars, the seafarers were also drawn by the riches of the ocean surrounding the island – where a prehistoric volcano sank back into the depths, leaving blooming corals and a wealth of lagoon fish.
Bear in Mind
Wishing to keep the pristine nature of the island intact, not one tree was removed during construction of the resort – as evidenced by the villas growing up around them.
Beach Pool Villas
Hidden away on the lush fringe of the island and opening onto soft white sands, Beach Pool Villas (258 sq. m) are private sanctuaries of indulgence.
Spend the day floating on your infinity pool with over water loungers. Wander into the nearby ocean. Dine in a shaded sala-style pavilion, choosing a vintage from your private wine cellar.
Your al fresco bathroom features both indoor and outdoor rain showers and can be reached through a his and hers dressing room.
Walk over the reflection pool and sink into a luxurious soaking tub for two in your Maldives Beach Villa.
Some of the Beach Pool Villas are sunset facing.
Sunset Over Water Pool Villas
These stunning over water pool villas (267 sq. m) all offer sunset views from spacious decks and private pools.
West-facing over water villas offer the perfect stage for romance. Dine on your veranda with the open ocean before you, your meal served in the comfort of your villa.
Toast the moment with a select vintage from your chilled wine collection.
Soak in a sunken tub for two as the stars come out overhead. Beneath you, pufferfish swim amongst swaying corals and darting fish.
Then sink into your oceanview bed with your choice of pillows and soft Egyptian cotton.
Family Beach Pool Villas
Two interconnected villas (412 sq. m in total) offer a shared sundeck and pool with plenty of room for families of up to six people.
The master bedroom’s en suite features an al fresco soaking tub, while the twin room’s en suite features both indoor and outdoor rain showers, as well as thoughtful children’s amenities.
Enjoy breakfast out on the deck, to be followed by a splash in the pool.
Play in the sands in front of the villa, armed with bucket and spade and retire to the cool shade of the veranda for some quiet time with board games.
As spacious as Maldives’ private villas come, the Family Beach Pool Villa offers the perfect escape for your loved ones.
Which Airlines do you use?
We work with all the major airlines flying to the Maldives.
Typically for the Maldives we will use British Airways for direct flights to the Maldives between November and March.
Sri Lankan Airlines is also a great option for flights to the Maldives, especially of course if combining the Maldives with a Sri Lanka tour.
The flying time for direct flights is around 10 hours, making the Maldives a little shorter flying time than going to South East Asia.
We also commonly use Emirates via Dubai, Qatar Airways via Doha and Etihad via Abu Dhabi. These all allow stopover options in the Arabian Gulf to create a multi-centre holiday.
Regional connections from across the UK are available.
Which Hotels do you use?
We're careful with our choice of resorts in the Maldives, but we're guided by our customers also. If you have some preferred hotels, just let us know.
We specialise in boutique & luxury hotels and so we will often suggest some of our favourite smaller luxury hotels where we think these will be suitable.
We understand that choosing a resort in the Maldives can be a bit bewildering, especially as they all look so similar!
That's where our expertise can help - it's always useful to speak to someone who's been to lots of different islands in the Maldives.
Do I need a visa for the Maldives?
If you're travelling on British Passports, no visa is required for stays of up to a month.
Please double check before travel however as visa requirements are subject to change at any time.
How long have you been organising holidays to the Maldives?
We've been organising tailor made holidays to the Maldives since 2009.
We use a very reliable local partner in the Maldives for transfers and to assist our clients in the Maldives. They are a family owned company who are one of the most established and respected local travel companies.
We keep up to date with developments in the Maldives with regular visits and through our local contacts.
When is the best time to visit the Maldives?
The driest time of year to visit the Maldives is normally between November and March. This is high season in the Maldives and you can expect dry and settled conditions most of the time.
What board basis should I choose in the Maldives?
You'll find there is a wide range of options in the Maldives, from b&b, Half and Full Board, All Inclusive and variations on All Inclusive options.
Because of the isolated location, dining in the Maldives is expensive by almost any standard. Bear this in mind when comparing meal options.
How do I get to my resort in the Maldives?
Some resorts in the Maldives can be reached by speedboat from Male. This makes for a convenient and easy transfer. You'll be met at the airport on arrival and taken on foot the short distance to your boat transfer.
Seaplane transfers in the Maldives are used for islands further afield. These are usually in 18-seater De Havilland Twin Otters which fly in daylight hours only, departing from the seaplane port next to the International Airport.
