Anantara Kihavah review: is it worth it for families?
Kihavah is the Baa Atoll family villa play for the manta-season window: kids’ club 4–12, family beach inventory, and seaplane logistics — without a true teen programme.
Quick facts
| Location | Baa Atoll |
| Price band | $$ · High luxury |
| Kids’ club | Thiththi Boli, ages 4–12, ~10:00–18:00 |
| Under 4s | Babysitting required |
| Teens | No dedicated club (teen recreation area only) |
| Transfer | Seaplane ~35 min; after ~15:30 domestic + speedboat |
In one minute
Choose Kihavah for beach-pool villas in Baa with a classic 4–12 club and Hanifaru manta access in season. Do not choose it as a teen holiday. Under-4s need babysitting, not drop-off.
- Best for: families with 4–12s in manta season; villa-with-kids-amenities seekers.
- Think twice if: teens are central, or you need evening seaplane arrivals.
