Stargaze at Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas, Maldives


An inky canvas dusted with luminescent stars and the ethereal shimmer of the Milky Way creates a celestial masterpiece above Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas, where the pristine skies of the Baa Atoll – a Unesco Biosphere Reserve – offer one of the clearest windows to the cosmos in the Indian Ocean. Dedicated ‘sky gurus’ Zunnoon Ahmed and Ali Arushal invite guests to discover magical constellations and astrological stories from the resort’s overwater observatory, while the Sky Bar is an idyllic setting for a nightcap beneath the star-strewn canopy. At certain times of year, guests can even glimpse the rings of Saturn or the vibrant belts of Jupiter through the observatory’s powerful telescopes.
