Accommodation in Baa Atoll

I really do not like writing reviews, I really don’t - but in this case I think I will make an exception. For the 7 days/6 nights I stayed at the Royal Island I had an amazing time. All the staff I interacted with - trying not to forget someone here - Thaisan, Budi, Mehedi, Zubair, Madeline, Shaveen, Avun, Manoj and all the ladies at the spa and the lads at the water activities shack - really did their utmost for my pleasant stay, for which I am very grateful! The property is exactly as advertised and would warmly recommend for a getaway from a busy city/work life, turquoise waters, delicious almost non-repeatable buffet options and really just a good spot to sit under some tropical trees!

Beach, friendly staff, great facilities.

The island is small but has everything needed for a perfect holiday. There are beach front villas and over-the-water villas, each with direct access to the sea, offering snorkelling possibility direct from your terrace. Also villas with access to the beach as well as villas with their own little garden yard. The villas are in beautiful Thai design with high wooden ceilings and completely furnished with all modern amenities. It's sparkling clean and everything looks newly-built. A butler takes care of all your needs - booking restaurant or activity, answering any questions, you name it. 4 restaurants cater for all tastes - European, Asian, vegetarian and local cuisines. A beach bar with an infinity pool overlooking the sea. A diving centre offers a great variety of over- and under water activities. 24/7 sports centre. Creche. A picturesque path amid the vegetation and the palm trees connects all facilities. The island is surrounded by a very shallow water ring, rich of reef life - corals, fish of all kinds, small sharks, sea stars, octopuses, sting rays and many more. A snorkelling paradise. The sea was calm as a lake, with pleasantly warm water. The air temperature is constant during day and night, no typical continental min/max daily temperatures. The most impressive feature is the staff. Always smiling and happy to maintain a personal contact with the tourists, ready to go out of their way to accommodate your comfort, even without being asked for it. We felt we they made sure we didn't have the slightest discomfort at any time. Our butler would come every evening to see us in person and make sure we have had a great day. We went to several organised trips and saw from very close range mantas, sharks, sea turtles, dolphins, sting rays. The resort is suitable for all kinds of tourists - romantic couples, Instagram vloggers, families with children, companies of friends, seniors, etc.

most welcoming arrival! attentive and friendly hosts. Delicious Maledivian breakfast, they even went to the market when we asked for some extra chillies. We enjoyed our room (upstairs) a lot. The bikini beach at the south of the island was also beautiful, with shade, hammoks and a bit different scenery to other islands.

Wonderful stay at Faima Fishing Village! We had a fantastic time at Faima Fishing Village. The owners are incredibly kind and welcoming – they truly go out of their way to help with anything you need, whether it's organizing transport, giving local tips, or just having a nice chat. The breakfast was delicious, always fresh and local – a perfect way to start the day. The rooms are nice, clean, and comfortable, and the location is great: it's just a short walk to both the beach and the harbor. Highly recommend staying here if you're looking for a warm atmosphere, good food, and a convenient base to explore the area!

Everything is perfect 👍👍👍

Our butler Adu and the rest of the hotel staff were so welcoming, they did such a great job of making our stay extra special. Our villa was super comfortable and we had the most incredible sunset view from the terrace. We chose this resort in great part due to the dining options available, and the restaurants did not disappoint! We particularly loved Vakku and Onu. We enjoyed a very relaxing couples massage at the spa, but the really highlight were all of the activities, especially turtle snorkeling and snorkeling around the house reef.

Thank you to Kadir and all other staff, they took care of us really well, they all were nice, polite and helpful. The room was really beautiful, worth every penny. The bed is big and comfortable, the whole apartment is on bigger size with a lot of space. We felt comfy there. The breakfast was delicious too. They gave us few suprises as fresh coconuts in the rooms, fresh fruit, plate of maldivian snacks and thank you note made of flowers on the bed. It's close to the beach so location is great too!

Beautiful island …. Paradise. Plenty of activities. Yoga twice a day. Staff amazing could not do enough .

Staying at Anantara Kihavah for our honeymoon exceeded all our expectations,and our holiday on the beautiful island was truly magical! We were greeted onto the island by bongo’s,the staff welcoming us on the pier and serving us fresh coconut water before our lovely villa host,Harnie drove us on a buggy through the lush island plantations to our incredible, newly renovated,spacious and private over water villa,which offered full sea and beach view,and from where we enjoyed complete tranquility. The staff was impeccable! They always went out of their way to make each of our experiences memorable and personalized,remembering our names,surprising us with honeymoon cake, champagne and decorations and always offering us our preferred drinks for breakfast and dinner. Every night, we were taken on an amazing culinary journey at one of the five incredible restaurants,that offer cuisines from around the world and each in a beautiful setting,overlooking the water. Our favorite restaurants were “spice” and “sea” - Sea is the under water restaurant, from where we were taken on a gastronomic journey of a five course meal, six meters under water,experiencing the “message in a bottle” immersive dinner whilst marveling at the sharks, stingrays and more fish than you can imagine, peacefully swim around us in unison. The amazing execute chef,Joachim prepared our dessert on the table,like a masterpiece too beautiful to eat,and he was always present at the restaurants, ensuring guests were enjoying their outstanding meals. Another “wauw” experience was the snorkeling, which we thoroughly enjoyed and we were so impressed by the abundance of marine creatures and sea life, swimming around, just feet below the surface of the Indian Ocean. It felt so calm under the water,and as though the fish were inviting us to join them in their underwater World. Anantara Kihavah is truly one of the BEST resorts we have ever stayed at and we loved every moment of this unforgettable honeymoon.
