Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas is not simply refreshing its look; it is recalibrating what beachfront luxury can feel like. The resort has unveiled the rebirth of its iconic Beach Pool Villas, a meticulous reimagining that sets out to seduce a new generation of luxury travellers with deeper connection to nature, heightened privacy, and a quietly extravagant sense of island elegance in the heart of the Maldives.
Thoughtfully redesigned from the ground up, the Beach Pool Villas are crafted to elevate space, comfort, and serenity. Maldivian charm is woven through a contemporary, design-led lens, resulting in cocoon-like sanctuaries nestled amid lush greenery and just steps from the crystal-clear lagoon. Couples, families, and wellness seekers are all in the frame here, with each villa conceived as an immersive, highly private retreat that feels more like a discreet beach residence than a hotel room.
Beachfront Villas, Reborn as Private Sanctuaries
The reimagined Beach Pool Villas lean fully into the fantasy of effortless indoor–outdoor living. Expansive glass doors flood the interiors with natural light, framing views of tropical foliage and the lagoon beyond. Inside, handcrafted timber finishes and a soothing neutral palette create an atmosphere of refined tranquillity, the kind of quiet luxury that whispers rather than shouts.
Curated artwork, both indoors and out, adds a layer of sophistication, subtly stitching together contemporary lines with relaxed island aesthetics. Every detail is designed to feel deliberate, from the textures underfoot to the way the light moves through the space.
Outside, the newly enlarged sala becomes the villa’s signature stage. Generously proportioned and deeply cushioned, it invites guests to surrender to the moment—whether that is watching the sky melt into gold at sunset or indulging in an intimate in-villa dining experience beneath a canopy of stars. It feels less like a terrace and more like an open-air living room, anchored just metres from the sea.
The bathroom, too, has been elevated into an experience in its own right. A serene open-air garden courtyard wraps around a cascading rain shower and a soaking tub set under the sky, paired with a spacious sofa lounge. The combination transforms the space into a private wellness enclave, a sanctuary designed for lingering soaks, unhurried rituals, and a level of relaxation and rejuvenation that borders on spa-like.
Designed for Families, Romantics, and Big Moments
Anantara Kihavah’s refreshed Beach Pool Villas are tailored for multi-generational stays, romantic escapes, and milestone celebrations that deserve more than a standard suite. They answer the growing demand for immersive, residential-style luxury in the Maldives—places where guests can unpack once, slow down, and truly inhabit the space.
Days unfold at a languid island pace. Morning might begin with building sandcastles with loved ones on powder-soft beaches; afternoons might be reserved for quiet moments in the privacy of your villa, the only sounds the lap of the lagoon and the rustle of palms. The underlying invitation is constant: to reconnect with yourself, your companions, and the surrounding nature, with no interruptions and no compromises.
Anantara Kihavah’s Signature Island Theatre
Anantara Kihavah has long been known for its flair for the exceptional. SEA Restaurant, billed as the world’s only underwater caviar restaurant, delivers one of the region’s most memorable dining settings, while the resort’s award-winning overwater spa has become a pilgrimage point for those seeking a more restorative, ritual-driven take on Maldivian indulgence.
Against this backdrop, the unveiling of the renovated Beach Pool Villas feels like a natural, but decidedly elevated, next chapter. The vision is clear: a new level of barefoot luxury where nature and design exist in perfect harmony, and where every element—from the line of the pool to the curve of the tub—has been considered through the lens of pure, unhurried pleasure.
The reimagined Beach Pool Villas are now available for stays. For more information, or to begin planning your escape to the Maldives, visit www.anantara.com/kihavah-maldives or email kihavahmaldives@anantara.com.
