Your private island sanctuary awaits at Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas. Located within the breathtaking Baa Atoll archipelago — designated as a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve — this barefoot luxury resort features 80 overwater and beachfront villas, each with its own plunge pool. Snorkel alongside Hawksbill turtles in the resort’s vibrant coral reef, home to hundreds of fish species. Indulge in an indigenous spa treatment, enjoy a tasting in the world’s first underwater wine cellar, and stargaze at the Maldives’ only overwater observatory.
