Tripplo's verdict, based on guest reviews
By Axel Hernborg · Updated 5 September 2026 · How we review hotels
Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas is well suited to couples and design-conscious travellers who want privacy built into every stay. Each villa comes with its own private infinity pool, and the over-water spa sits directly above the lagoon for treatments framed by open water. Dining extends to an underwater restaurant set among coral reefs, a distinctive feature within the Baa Atoll biosphere reserve. Guests often highlight the scenic seaplane arrival as part of the appeal. The trade-off is cost and access: the seaplane transfer carries an extra charge, and the remote setting limits any exploration beyond the resort itself.
Guests score it 9.6 out of 10 — the average across the 6 hotels we list in Baa Atoll is 9.4.
What Guests Loved
- Each villa is designed with its own infinity pool, allowing guests uninterrupted views over the lagoon or jungle canopy without leaving their private terrace.
- The spa's overwater treatment rooms sit above the lagoon, using glass floor panels in places so guests can watch marine life while receiving treatments.
Things to Consider
- Seaplane transfers are charged separately from the room rate, and guests should factor this cost into their overall trip budget in advance.
- Given its island setting, guests cannot easily leave the resort to explore other areas, so the experience is centered entirely around on-site amenities.
