MALDIVES FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS
Recognising that it occupies a privileged position in the heart of the Baa Atoll, a Unesco Biosphere Reserve that is also the site of the largest manta ray aggregation in the world, the Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas takes its role of protecting the fragile environment it operates in very seriously.

Wonders of Kihavah, published in September, is a groundbreaking book that more than highlights the spectacular array of Kihavah's marine life. It also flags the urgent need to protect delicate coral reefs, especially in this age of global warming.
