Baa Atoll · over-water restaurant
Anantara Kihavah is the Maldives resort with the most-talked-about dining set-up — the over-water Sea Salt restaurant on the upper deck and a sister underwater restaurant below the lagoon. The 1-bedroom Over-Water Pool Villa is the classic honeymoon pick, with a sunset-facing private pool and direct lagoon stairs. Located in the UNESCO Baa Atoll biosphere, so the house reef and the manta-ray season (Aug-Nov, Hanifaru Bay aggregation) are notable draws. Anantara service is famously warm — the Thai brand pedigree shows in the spa.
