Set on Kihavah Huravalhi, one of the most exclusive of all the Maldivian islands, Anantara Kihavah Villas is just 35 minutes by seaplane from Male International Airport. The 77 spacious overwater and beach suites will all have private pools, wooded sundecks with copious seating and lounging areas, outdoor showers and over-sized bathtubs big enough for two. The interiors will be contemporary with local, Indian and Moroccan accents and colour schemes that take their inspiration from the surrounding coral reefs; Anantara Kihavah will also boast the largest swimming pool in the Maldives. The hotel is slated to open in October 2010.
