PARADISE FOUND.

View 360 Virtual Tour

Surrounded by nothing but turquoise lagoon which melts into sapphire blue, the island of Kihavah and its pure white sands rise up out of the ocean like a mirage. 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.

As new trade routes opened up, the legend of Kihavah’s beauty faded from memory – until 2011, when new discoverers reimagined a thoroughly 21st century paradise. 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.

Located on the Baa Atoll in a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas invites you to imagine your own paradise. Snorkel with mantas and whale sharks. Stargaze into the night. Dine on a deserted sandbank or beneath the ocean’s surface.

Hands down the best beach destination I've been to. The villas, the beach, the service was all world-class. One of the best places to go on a romantic getaway or a relaxing vacation. The memories of this place will be with you for a lifetime.
