KIHAVAH TRAVEL NOTES FOR A
SEAMLESS JOURNEY Landscape
The island of Kihavah Huravalhi, part of the Baa Atoll, is one of over
a thousand islands that make up the Indian Ocean’s Republic of the Maldives. One of only 200 inhabited islands in the nation, this pear-shaped coral island boasts powdery white sands, lush coconut groves, and a crystal clear lagoon with a nearby reef teeming with
marine life and the occasional whale shark.
People
The Maldivian people descended from ancient seafaring settlers from
across the Indian Ocean trading route, a diverse blend of South Asians
and Muslim Arabs. While the predominant language is Dhivehi, English
is understood by most.
Weather
With year-round sunshine and a tropical climate, temperatures in the
Maldives range from 24°C (75°F) to 33°C (91°F) throughout the year.
Currency
The national currency is the rufiyaa, with the exchange rate fluctuating
approximately MVR 10 - 15 to the US dollar. Changing money is best
done in Male, and ATMs are available throughout the capital city.
Resorts, however, use US dollars. Major credit cards are also widely
accepted.
Arrival
Visitors to the Maldives automatically qualify for a 30-day visa on arrival provided they have a
valid travel document, return ticket and
confirmed resort reservation.
Malé International
Airport is served by a
wide array of flights
from major airports in
Asia, as well as an
increasing number of
charters from Europe.
Our airport
representative will meet
you upon arrival for the
35-minute seaplane
flight to Anantara
Kihavah Villas
It is illegal to carry alcohol
in any form through Malé
International Airport.
Exploration
Venture out for exploratory journeys to untouched islands in
a private yacht or luxury speedboat. Soar to new heights
with a distinctly Maldivian seaplane. Our resort staff are
more than happy to arrange any excursions and transfer
arrangements.
