"A veritable paradise of orchid gardens, palm tree plantations and unbroken horizons, the all-villa Anantara Kihavah boasts wonderfully private accommodations, cutting-edge spa facilities and an underwater restaurant."

Kihavah Island in the Maldives’ Northern Baa Atoll is the picturesque home of the luxurious all-villa Anantara Kihavah resort. From Malé, a scenic 35-minute seaplane flight north is all it takes to reach the orchid gardens, palm tree plantations and unbroken horizons of the idyllic resort.

The property’s land-based villas are nestled among the lush greenery, deliciously secluded from each other and the outside world. Further away from the tree canopy, a jetty extends out to the Overwater Villas, which are enveloped by jewel-toned waters and have breathtaking views of the horizon. Thatched roofs and an emphasis on natural materials blend with Thai influences and traditional island decor to create striking spaces that feel simultaneously fresh and timeless.

All units feature private decks with day swings, generously sized pools and amenities for coffee, as well as outdoor showers. Each of the villas has its own 24-hour host, and some have hot tubs and hammocks. If you’re opting for a...   Show more

The property’s land-based villas are nestled among the lush greenery, deliciously secluded from each other and the outside world. Further away from the tree canopy, a jetty extends out to the Overwater Villas, which are enveloped by jewel-toned waters and have breathtaking views of the horizon. Thatched roofs and an emphasis on natural materials blend with Thai influences and traditional island decor to create striking spaces that feel simultaneously fresh and timeless.

All units feature private decks with day swings, generously sized pools and amenities for coffee, as well as outdoor showers. Each of the villas has its own 24-hour host, and some have hot tubs and hammocks. If you’re opting for a stay on the water, choose a Sunset Overwater Pool Villa; these have glass-bottomed bathtubs and the very best views.

The island’s remote status makes it an excellent location for stargazing. You’ll be able to do plenty of it in the resort’s SKY Bar, which boasts the largest telescope in the Maldives. While there, you’ll be assisted by the resident ‘SKY guru’ who will guide your eye – you won’t even have to put down your cocktail. Go for the opposite experience with a wine tasting in an underwater wine cellar (one of the world’s first) at SEA, which also boasts an underwater fine-dining restaurant. The menu here, unsurprisingly, highlights seafood. Other dining options include Fire for Teppanyaki, Manzuru for laid-back Italian poolside and Plates for beachside Mediterranean and Maldivian meals in a relaxed atmosphere.

Complimentary bikes are a prime way to explore the island and overwater boardwalk, which you’ll want to do plenty of. Once you’ve familiarised yourself with the island, take advantage of the resort’s water sports offerings: go for a dive with the resident marine biologist, or take part in conservation efforts by planting coral in the lagoon nursery. The Anantara Spa is another unforgettable aspect of the resort. In addition to massages, facials and soothing baths and treatments of many kinds imaginable, the six overwater treatment rooms feature glass-bottomed floors, allowing you to gaze at the underwater paradise while being expertly pampered.
