Anantara Kihavah, Baa Atoll
Baa Atoll
Anantara Kihavah

A starry table beneath the surface.

Anantara Kihavah is Baa Atoll at its most complete. The resort has an underwater restaurant six metres below the surface, a wine cave with over 400 labels, and a dedicated observatory with a research-grade telescope. The dining programme runs from overwater teppanyaki to Italian on the beach. Villas are generous across all categories, the house reef turns up turtles and eagle rays reliably, and the spa sits over the lagoon. Kihavah leans into the theatrical without losing the island calm.
