Every aspect of the redesign was crafted to enhance space, serenity, and comfort. The villas are nestled within tropical gardens just a few steps from the turquoise lagoon, and provide a welcoming retreat for couples, families, or wellness-minded guests seeking immersive seclusion.
Refined Spaces Inspired by Island Spirit
The reimagined Beach Pool Villas celebrate a seamless transition between indoor sophistication and outdoor freedom. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors flood interiors with natural light, while custom wood finishes and a soft, earthy palette evoke calm and elegance. Bespoke artworks – both indoors and in the garden – echo the island’s heritage while complementing the sleek, contemporary styling.
An expanded outdoor sala becomes a haven for rest or celebration. Whether guests are lounging at sunset or sharing an intimate meal under the stars, the space invites moments of tranquillity and connection. The outdoor bathroom experience is equally remarkable, with a private garden courtyard featuring a rain shower, open-sky soaking tub, and a spacious daybed lounge all designed to nurture peace and well-being.
“We set out to create a retreat that honors the Maldivian lifestyle while resonating with today’s luxury guests,” — Stuart De San Nicolas, Cluster General Manager, Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas
“This transformation captures the essence of the island – elegant, discreet, and deeply relaxing.”
An Invitation to Slow Living and Meaningful Travel
Whether celebrating life’s milestones, enjoying a romantic escape, or travelling with loved ones across generations, these villas offer a residential-style luxury that speaks to modern tastes. From barefoot walks along soft white sands to shared quiet moments in the privacy of a private pool deck, the new design encourages guests to reconnect with nature, each other, and themselves.
Anantara Kihavah is already renowned for its one-of-a-kind experiences: from SEA, the world’s only underwater caviar restaurant, to a multi-award-winning overwater spa. Now, with the relaunch of its Beach Pool Villas, the resort reaffirms its commitment to creating deeply personal, sensory-rich getaways in one of the most spectacular settings on Earth.
