Truly a paradise and heaven on earth :) I spent two nights and it was perfect number of days for me . Food and service was great. The only thing I can remember is that the door is difficult to open because of position of door handle.

In common with most other reviewers you cannot fault the beauty of the island,Maldives at its best. The beaches and marine life are amazing and the resort is small and very personal with first class staff and cleanliness. However the new owners have failed in terms of the standard of cuisine.At best I would regard the all inclusive quality of... More

I stayed at this island recently with my husband and I can honestly say it is the most naturally beautiful island I have been to in the Maldives. I could not get over how quiet it was. All you can hear is the ocean. The Marine life in this area is amazing too. I travelled on the normal plane transfer... More

We were very let down on this island not at all as shown in the brochure. The main restaurant was not open and there was no water in the swimming pool. The room had no DVD player as stated and no coffee machine. The bathroom was not painted or tiled and loose wires hung everywhere. We had either a trickle... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
Redefined, refurbished and recognized as KIHAAD Maldives, nestled on its own 600 meters long, coconut-shaped island, complete with lush green vegetation, long white beaches and an adjacent house reef. Whilst the resort offers 110 spacious, private villas and whole range of simple and natural facilities, majority of the island has still been left in its pristine natural state.KIHAAD – named traditionally in local Dhivehi language as `young coconut island` with a beach length of some 1,200 meters around the Island, is a haven of peace, tranquility and serenity. Proudly nestled within the Baa Atoll UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, the entire Island and lagoon is the exclusive and private domain of our guests set just across the Hanifaru Bay which is a world renowned Marine Protected Area (MPA) announced by UNESCO, where whale sharks and manta rays meet seasonally. Just like UNESCO, the philosophy of KIHAAD is to focus on the preservation of marine life and local lifestyle, traditional ways and customs of serving and living together. That is why we are the first ‘The Reserve’ island in the Maldives. Guests may fly-in on seaplanes by a 35-minute scenic photo-flight from the international airport at Male', the capital of the Maldives.KIHAAD Maldives is also the closest Island to Dharavandhoo Domestic Airport scheduled to open in November 2012. ... more   less
