The best in this resort are the people. Fantastic service and kindest staff you can imagine. Special thanks to Abdula from the buffet! The island is large and you can walk quite well. Food is really great! Huge choice of fish, meat, veggies for every taste. The beach is nice. You need to be patient for the travel to the island as need to wait for domestic flight. It was worth it. The only issue was the room we were given in the beginning which we could luckily change, otherwise our holidays would be completely spoiled. We got room which was not a separate bungalow but had the same wall to the neighbor. You could hear every single noise. It’s ridiculous, those rooms should only be given to families!! The other thing is loud music until 00:00 every second night. Luckily the room we changed to was located further so didn’t hear anything. Otherwise we couldn’t sleep ( previous room was next to reception).
In a nutshell, yes I would return but only if the room is the same we got changed to. Then it’s a dream place. Otherwise, it would be a completely different experience.

This was a resort holiday. The accommodation was an over water bungalow. So a new experience for us. Housekeeping staff were very good. Accommodation was spacious and well presented.

It has been a week since we've come back from paradise on Earth. The beauty of the Maldives cannot be described, but the amazing experience of staying at Dusit Thani Maldives, which was simply perfect, can.
To be perfectly honest, almost everything exceeded my (very high) expectation. The resort is a beautiful jungle/garden and cycling through it is a pleasure for all the senses (especially in the evenings, when
you can smell frangipani). We have stayed in one of the ocean villas. The views were simply stunning. The villa was very spacious and cosy, and even though the furniture is not brand new, it is full of drama. Plus, they have the most comfortable pillows my head had ever touched.
The big highight-and what convinced us to stay in the resort-is the Thai restaurant Benjarong with it amazing chef and staff-we were usually attended by Novika (foodie as myself, so she could provide great recommendation) and James, who was also super nice and attentive. After having dinner at Benjarong the first night, we booked all of our meals there (with the exception for the night of Eid celebration, when we dined
on the beach with live local music and dancing-thanks Sharif. I especial recommend the soft shell crab with curry - powder, the lamb chops, and my favourite dish in the universe-the Thai green curry. My husband fell in love with the dessert with water chestnuts and ended up eating it twice a day 🙂 (and of course I ended up taking the Thai cooking class).
Another highlight for the foodies was breakfast. while the choices of "western" food, pastries is impressive, my very favourite (and I had it every single day) was the noodles station. Also, make sure you try the passion fruit jam which is to die for. You can always ask Mona (yet another, cheerful foodie) for recommendations.
Moving from the food... Above the Thai 'restaurant is the Sata bar. My husband took the cocktail making class there and we met a very gifted bar attender Amita.

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.

- Hameed the manager friendly and available for satisfy any wish. I got sick and he managed to get for me the medicaments from other islands (they were not anymore available in Dharavandoo).
- Coffee available for free at any time
Beautiful Atoll and very kind local people. Many spots where to snorkel. The reef is full of life (beautiful marine species). A right place for fishing huge trevally, tuna, mahi-mahi, and baracuda (among other coral fishes)

I specifically chose Baa atoll as it is in the protected Biosphere that regulates fishing and any harmful practices to the underwater environment and coral reefs. It consists of a number of small individual islands as well as a number of "native" islands where locals live and maldivian culture can be experienced. It's also not too far from Male airport - just a short domestic flight and speedboat to the island.

Sadly, corals reef mostly deed.
Sadly, corals reef mostly deed.
However, there are still really many coral fish to watch if you like snorkeling. Beaches are good.
Clarity of water was a big mystery for me. It could change from "absolutely clear" to "milky" within 1.5-2 hours. Not sure what to blame for this: tide change or ash from islands rubbish burning plants. Visited two islands 15-20 min away from Dharavandhoo.
Saw many sharks from 0.5m babies to 3m

This was a very low key, relaxing experience.
This was a very low key, relaxing experience. Just what you want with a holiday getaway. Absolutely beautiful island. Water Villa room very nice, with snorkeling right out of the room. Boat trips $$$ were great to see dolphins, turtles, etc. Staff and food were great. However, we spent a lot of time trying to figure out what food and drinks were included in the all-inclusive deal, and what were extra. On "seafood night," I asked for a little half-pound lobster tail. Turned out to be US$73 extra. We went on a fishing trip, and they said the kitchen would cook what we caught. But that was a US$30 extra charge. Worst problem here is internet. The only place you can get internet is in the lobby. Wifi in bar and restaurant not functional. And if you want internet in your room it's a US$44+/day but basically doesn't work either. Seriously folks, it's 2023, not 1993!

The stay was magical.
The stay was magical. Where I come from, we don't have such amazing weather and environment. It was so relaxing and just what was needed. I needed 1-3 more days to have a full week. I only wish I had everything covered and not need to pay for any extras other than souvenirs.
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.
I want to add to the previous review: all the shortcomings eliminated the next day after my comment.
And the rubric of unsolicited advice: I strongly recommend taking a snorkeling lesson, if you are a beginner like me, do not worry, in this hotel you will be in good hands). The reef here is very beautiful! You can see an incredible underwater world within two minutes of the villa.
And we also took an excursion with dolphins and another one with mantas. We were very happy with the organization, the guides and got a lot of emotions!
Wonderful quiet secluded place. Great beach, beautiful views. The entire staff was as empathetic and friendly as possible. A restaurant with amazing food. This is a great place if you want to spend time alone with your loved one or family. Our Host Mini, was very nice and tried to make our vacation as comfortable as possible. I really liked the fact that the hotel took into account my wishes on check-in and was very understanding and responsive to my requests and wishes before check-in.
Everything was PERFECT! Thanks to our host Akram and the rest of the great staff. Our host helped us with every single small detail and request. All of the staff are well-informed about our likes and dislikes what our schedule looks like which is unheard of. Villa was great, loved the breakfast, activities and everything about the place! The best service we have received in our entire life! And I really think that what made our stay stress free and super convenient and comfortable.
We loved the villa, amenities, and amazing service from all the staff. We booked this hotel in part thanks to the Kids Club and it did not disappoint, the nannies were sweet and trustworthy. Our daughter had a wonderful time! We booked upon arrival full board, it was the best choice. The drinks menu for full board dining was really good, the food was delicious... the Villas are fabulous as well as the pool. We had a wonderful time and would love to come back.
Hello, we're writing this message to you from Morocco, sending to you the best wishes
We really enjoyed our vacation at the wonderful resort "Dhighufaru", especially when we met you "Moroccan couple" it was really good we did a lot of things like singing together, swimming..
The service at the hotel was very good, the nights parties were good too, everything was fine..
It really was a superb and marvelous experience..
Thank you for everything ❤️
The bathroom was special. You could have a shower looking the stars. The bed was huge, very comfortable. They offered coconut water for free. They would take you for free everywhere in the island you wish, and after bring you back to the hotel. However, it deserves rather walking if you can over this paradice island.
What a gem of a find, we are blessed to stay at many luxury hotels, this is undoubtedly the best service we have ever experienced, from Vijay the GM, to the directors laurent and Deepak to the staff, the best outstanding service we have ever experienced. The snorkeling exceptional as well, just simply the best
This is a perfect paradise. Everyone took the time to know my name and greet me. The food is amazing. The setting is picture-perfect. The facilities are fabulous. There are so many activities to choose from or do nothing at all. If you only choose one place to visit, this is the best. The real Maldives.
