Online Reviews Summary

Travelers consistently report a highly positive and luxurious experience with the seaplane transfer to Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas, viewing it as an exciting and integral part of their Maldivian holiday. The overall sentiment highlights seamless organization and breathtaking scenic views.

What Travelers Love
  • Seamless Arrival Experience: Guests are met by Anantara Kihavah staff at Velana International Airport, smoothly escorted to the seaplane terminal, and then to the resort, making the entire process efficient and stress-free.
  • Comfortable Seaplane Lounge: The resort's dedicated seaplane lounge at the new seaplane terminal is described as new, clean, and comfortable, offering complimentary snacks, soft drinks, coffee, tea, water, and juice, with some even featuring a play area for children.
  • Breathtaking Scenic Flight: The seaplane journey itself is considered an unforgettable experience, providing stunning bird's-eye views of the Maldivian atolls and turquoise waters.
  • Personalized Resort Welcome: Upon landing at the resort's floating jetty, guests receive a warm welcome, often including traditional Maldivian drumming (Bodu Beru) and cold refreshments, before being escorted to their villa by a dedicated butler.
  • VIP Private Seaplane Option: For an even more exclusive experience, VIP private seaplanes are available, featuring air-conditioned cabins and more comfortable leather seating.
Common Complaints
  • Daylight-Only Operations: Seaplane transfers operate only during daylight hours (generally 6:00 am to 4:00 pm), meaning guests arriving at Velana International Airport after 3:30 pm or departing before sunrise/after sunset will require a domestic flight to Dharavandhoo Airport followed by a speedboat transfer.
  • Potential for Multiple Stops: While some flights are direct, the seaplane may make stops to drop off guests at other resorts in the Baa Atoll, potentially extending the total travel time slightly.
  • Baggage Restrictions: Seaplane transfers typically have a baggage allowance of 35 kg per passenger, with excess baggage incurring additional charges.

The seaplane transfer to Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas is consistently praised as a luxury experience, marked by exceptional resort coordination, comfortable lounge facilities, and spectacular aerial views, despite the operational limitations of seaplanes.
