How to reach Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas
Anantara Kihavah is on Kihavah Huravalhi island in the Baa Atoll, 133 km from Malé. The transfer is by seaplane and takes approximately 35 minutes from Malé International Airport. The seaplane is an extra-charge service; seaplane operations in the Maldives are daylight only, so arrival and departure times need to align with flight schedules.
Seaplane transfers typically run $250–600 per person round trip, booked through the property. A few islands in this band are also served by a domestic flight to a nearby regional airport plus a short boat — ask the property which routing is faster for your dates.
