In its commitment to protect the environment, Anantara Kihavah Villas has initiated the Coral Adoption Programme, a long-term plan designed to share learning experiences with guests, accelerate the regeneration of coral growth in the atoll reef, and ultimately ensure the future of this unique Maldivian destination.
The Maldivian Islands are one of nature’s most beautiful treasures and that is why Anantara Kihavah Villas is a green-thinking beach resort in the Maldives. We don’t offer motorised water sports, which destroy the reefs and upset the rhythms of aquatic wildlife. Our dive centre encourages divers to interact passively with the underwater world, in a way that is safe for both the diver and the marine life.
