Kiha Beach sits just across the channel from Hanifaru Bay, one of the world’s top spots to swim with manta rays (and, if you’re lucky, whale sharks). It’s part of a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, and the hotel organizes private, small-group excursions, and real access to the marine magic.
The rooms are spacious, super clean, and many come with direct ocean views. You’ll find essentials like a flat-screen TV, minibar, and tea/coffee setup. Some rooms also include seating areas, perfect for decompressing after a dive or snorkel session. The private beach is steps away, and it’s known for being quiet, clean, and ideal for easy snorkeling right from shore.
There’s also an on-site spa offering legit massages, an outdoor pool, a 24-hour front desk, and a solid restaurant with rotating daily breakfast and affordable meals. The food is fresh, the menu flexible, and the vibe casual and friendly.
Another plus: Custom excursions and activities are a big deal here. Whether it’s dolphin watching, sandbank visits, diving, or reef tours, the team personalizes trips based on your schedule and interests. It’s way more personal than the cookie-cutter resort tours.
