Surrounded by nothing but turquoise lagoon which melts into sapphire blue, the luxury resort island of Anantara Kihavah Maldives and its pure white sands rise up out of the ocean like a mirage.
For centuries, this was where Arab traders sailing to the Far East took shelter; 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 a coral reef blooming with marine beauty and a wealth of lagoon fish.
Wishing to keep the pristine nature of the island intact, not one tree has been moved – as evidenced by the villas growing up around them. The design pays homage to the seafarers of old, fusing Indian Ocean, Arab and Portuguese motifs with indigenous materials to present a one of a kind luxury resort in Maldives.
Located on the Baa Atoll in a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, Anantara Kihavah Maldives private island resort invites you to imagine your own barefoot luxury paradise. Savour the luxury of space in your private pool beach villa or water villa. Snorkel with mantas and Hawksbill sea turtles. Stargaze into the night. Dine on a deserted sandbank or beneath the ocean’s surface at this enchanting sanctuary.
