Anantara Kihavah Villas Maldives

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

For centuries, this was where Arab traders sailing to the Far East took shelter; 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 a coral reef blooming with marine beauty and a wealth of lagoon fish.
 
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 to present a one of a kind luxury resort in Maldives.

Located on the Baa Atoll in a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, Anantara Kihavah Maldives private island resort invites you to imagine your own barefoot luxury paradise. Savour the luxury of space in your private pool beach villa or water villa. Snorkel with mantas and Hawksbill sea turtles. Stargaze into the night. Dine on a deserted sandbank or beneath the ocean’s surface at this enchanting sanctuary.

This protected marine sanctuary is the largest feeding and breeding hotspot in the world for manta rays and whale sharks, which at times congregate here in their hundreds. Snorkelling amongst these magnificent creatures is an experience not to be missed. Alila Kothaifaru Maldives is also close to Vaadhoo Island, one of the best spots to witness the spectacular “Sea of Stars” phenomenon, an extraordinary sight to behold.

Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Kuda Huraa

Male  •  Maldives
Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Kuda Huraa spreads 96 thatched-roof villas across a coral island in North Malé Atoll, 25 minutes by speedboat from Malé Airport. A six-time consecutive Forbes Five-Star recipient as of 2026, the resort has shaped Maldivian hospitality since its 1998 opening. The island takes fifteen minutes to walk around, yet holds more than fifteen room categories, every one with a private pool. Water villas extend over the lagoon on wooden stilts — step off the deck and a staircase drops you into warm, reef-dotted shallows where coral fish dart past your ankles. Beach villas disappear into gardens of plumeria and bougainvillea, their free-form pools shaded by coconut palms, open-air showers enclosed by coral-stone walls. The new three-bedroom Kuda Estate occupies the quietest stretch of sand, its 139-square-metre curved pool wrapping the entire property.

Baraabaru sets the tone for dining, its Kerala-inspired pavilion perched above the lagoon and lit by torches after dark. Head Chef Kishan Singh and New York-based Chef Hari Nayak bring a modern eye to regional Indian cooking — kokum-cured tuna, tandoori-grilled king oyster mushroom, rooted in street-food traditions across the subcontinent. Reef Club serves wood-fired pizza and handmade pasta by the water; Café Huraa offers pan-Asian dishes steps from the infinity pool. A ten-minute dhoni ride leads to ŪRJĀ Naturopathy Island, a wellness retreat structured around four pathways to restoration. After dark, The Night Spa moves to a rooftop terrace for treatments guided by the phases of the moon. The Marine Discovery Centre runs coral reefscaping and turtle rehabilitation year-round, and each September the Surfing Champions Trophy draws elite surfers to breaks just offshore. Even without a board, watching the sky turn from gold to violet over a Reef Float cocktail at Sunset Lounge is reason enough to return.
