Anantara Kihavah sits in Baa Atoll's UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, but it's best known for something else: the dining. Eat six metres underwater at SEA, grill teppanyaki over the lagoon at FIRE, and end the night under a professional telescope at SKY — the only overwater observatory in the Maldives. One of the strongest house reefs in the country wraps the island, turning every snorkel into a reliable encounter with turtles, reef sharks and eagle rays. This is the resort for guests who want extraordinary experiences stacked on top of each other, without ever having to leave.
LVMH discretion, served barefoot.
The most French resort in the Maldives — and nothing about it is accidental. You arrive by private seaplane in Cheval Blanc's own taupe-and-yellow livery, with a Majordome waiting to say bonjour at the jetty. The 46 villas have soaring double-height ceilings and face the open horizon rather than each other — privacy by design. The lagoon is wide, shallow and almost impossibly turquoise. The Guerlain spa occupies its own private island, reached only by dhoni. Dinner at Le 1947 is an 11-course journey through French haute cuisine with a Maldivian soul. Calibrated, considered, unmistakably French.
