Family hotels and homes in Baa Atoll

We liked everything. The staff went overboard to please us and make us comfortable. The food was superb, the beach was well maintained and in excellent condition. The corals around the island were thriving much better than when I saw them in 2007. The dive center was very well organized and the trip was very good. The staff were very very well organized and attentive and made sure everything was not left for chance or unclear. They cleaned the rooms twice per day.

Beach, friendly staff, great facilities.

Dusit Thani was a real treat, and was the perfect tonic after an intense 12 months of work. Snorkelling at the UNESCO biosphere reserve was a true highlight. Shout out to the staff who were all wonderful, especially the footballers at the market. Great to see the organised soccer matches for staff at nightfall - makes you think that staff are well looked after which contributes positively to the overall experience. It was also nice to see John the General Manager getting around the tables at dinner time to speak to the residents - it was a nice personal touch. Accommodation, food, the amenities - all amazing, and cycling around the island turned out to be a whole lot of fun. We will return!

Outstanding 6 nights stay! Thanks to the immediate and effective support of the GM Judd Rabbidge we were able to correct a misallocation of the Pool Water-villa for the one on the sunset site! Highly appreciated! 🙏 We enjoyed this villa and the whole resort tremendously! All is modern, sustainably maintained and functioning impeccably! The Terrace buffet restaurant and the Skipjack restaurant for lunch and late evening cocktails are fabulous! Not to forget: Kudos to Rachel our local support, Munawaru for housekeeping and Modex our waiter!👏🏼👌

Everything! The guesthouse was amazing, beautiful gardens and common areas and the room and bathroom were lovely. Very clean and well decorated. But the best thing were the hosts. They welcomed us in like family - what amazing people! They were so warm and lovely and helpful; organising all of our activities, joining us for mealtimes, taking us around the island. We will 100% return!

Everything is perfect 👍👍👍

Our butler Adu and the rest of the hotel staff were so welcoming, they did such a great job of making our stay extra special. Our villa was super comfortable and we had the most incredible sunset view from the terrace. We chose this resort in great part due to the dining options available, and the restaurants did not disappoint! We particularly loved Vakku and Onu. We enjoyed a very relaxing couples massage at the spa, but the really highlight were all of the activities, especially turtle snorkeling and snorkeling around the house reef.

The rooms are new, just opened 02-2025. Staff was very nice, helpful, friendly, always smiling. The breakfast is 1 minut walk just round the corner. It was tasty and enough for adults. Bikini beach is ca 40 meters from hotel it was clean. Corals very nice with a lot of life and fisches. The owner Mohammed organised the transport from Male airport as domestic flight for reasonable price and then picked us up with speedboat at the domestic airport. By leaving the island he went with us to harbour to found a local ferry to another island. Everythink was perfect.

We stayed in March 2025 — everything was perfect. The island is small but very picturesque and well-maintained. We stayed in a beach villa with a private pool — surrounded by lush greenery, beautiful scenery and a sense of complete privacy. Right across from our villa was a golf simulator, which we used several times since we enjoy playing golf. The main restaurant pleasantly surprised us — the food was tasty and varied. Among the à la carte options, the Japanese restaurant was our favorite. We dined there several times, and the dishes were truly outstanding. The spa was also a highlight — the massage was absolutely amazing and deeply relaxing. Special thanks to the staff — polite, attentive, and very detail-oriented. We were left with only the best impressions of our stay.

Staying at Anantara Kihavah for our honeymoon exceeded all our expectations,and our holiday on the beautiful island was truly magical! We were greeted onto the island by bongo’s,the staff welcoming us on the pier and serving us fresh coconut water before our lovely villa host,Harnie drove us on a buggy through the lush island plantations to our incredible, newly renovated,spacious and private over water villa,which offered full sea and beach view,and from where we enjoyed complete tranquility. The staff was impeccable! They always went out of their way to make each of our experiences memorable and personalized,remembering our names,surprising us with honeymoon cake, champagne and decorations and always offering us our preferred drinks for breakfast and dinner. Every night, we were taken on an amazing culinary journey at one of the five incredible restaurants,that offer cuisines from around the world and each in a beautiful setting,overlooking the water. Our favorite restaurants were “spice” and “sea” - Sea is the under water restaurant, from where we were taken on a gastronomic journey of a five course meal, six meters under water,experiencing the “message in a bottle” immersive dinner whilst marveling at the sharks, stingrays and more fish than you can imagine, peacefully swim around us in unison. The amazing execute chef,Joachim prepared our dessert on the table,like a masterpiece too beautiful to eat,and he was always present at the restaurants, ensuring guests were enjoying their outstanding meals. Another “wauw” experience was the snorkeling, which we thoroughly enjoyed and we were so impressed by the abundance of marine creatures and sea life, swimming around, just feet below the surface of the Indian Ocean. It felt so calm under the water,and as though the fish were inviting us to join them in their underwater World. Anantara Kihavah is truly one of the BEST resorts we have ever stayed at and we loved every moment of this unforgettable honeymoon.
