Anantara Kihavah
Maldives
Enjoying a prime location in the Maldives’ Baa Atoll island archipelago and on the doorstep of Hanifaru Bay, Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas is the perfect place from which to explore the underwater world of the Indian Ocean. Set on Kihavah Huravalhi, one of the most pristine Maldivian islands, the resort is 30-minute seaplane flight from Velana International Airport, an unforgettable experience in itself as the plane flies over a string of glowing coral islands and Maldives resorts amidst turquoise waters.
79 spacious private pool villas, ranging from 260 to 2,730 square meters, are either poised over the water with sweeping ocean views or nestled along a pristine stretch of private beach. Snorkel some of the world’s most treasured reefs within a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve, explore uninhabited islands encircled by abundant reefs home to turtles, eels and beautiful coral formations, or cruise in solitude into a tapestry of unimaginable colours to a glorious Maldivian sunset.
At Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas guests are treated to a host of dining options across various world cuisines. From a mythical escape into the depths of the ocean (one-of-a-kind over and underwater dining experience) to reaching for the sky at the rooftop bar, the Indian Ocean unfolds before your eyes in many different ways.

Soneva Fushi
It is an Imaginative Hideaway. Hidden among dense foliage within the Baa Atoll UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, Soneva Fushi inspires the imagination. The award-winning resort truly defines the essence of barefoot luxury with Robinson Crusoe simplicity.

You will be greeted by Soneva’s private airport representative and escorted to our private seaplane lounge, located a short 8-minute drive from the airport. After being served light refreshments in the lounge, we will escort you onto the waiting seaplane where our team will meet you upon arrival at Soneva Fushi.

MALDIVES
Just south of the Indian subcontinent, the Republic of the Maldives consists of 26 gorgeous natural atolls of dual island chains encircled by a blue lagoon in the Indian Ocean, and we are not exaggerating when we tell you that they are possibly the most beautiful yet sophisticated small islands on earth. Levels of customer service, accommodation, and cuisine have risen exponentially in recent decades to meet world-class standards. The world’s first underwater restaurant, under-water nightclub, and underwater spa can all be found here. Go scuba diving or snorkeling and explore the island’s protected coral reefs. (You also can view marine life from within the popular Whale Submarine Maldives.) Or simply relax at one of the secluded and romantic Maldives resorts where exquisite beaches, spas, personalized service, and gourmet meals will leave you feeling relaxed and pampered.
A helpful note: Because of its closeness to the equator, the Maldives experience consistently warm (even hot) weather year-round and a volatile monsoon season between April and October. We suggest that the best time of year to visit the Maldives is during the dry season from January to April.
