Beach description

Kihavah Island is a sandy beach surrounded by mango and papaya trees and coconut palms. Its white sand - clean, soft, fine-grained, will not leave anyone indifferent. It is so as if it was specially created in order to sunbathe on it, and a gradual descent into the water, a flat sandy bottom and a large area of shallow water exist to swim. Near the beach there is a coral reef populated by a diverse marine fauna. While it is easily accessible, it is ideal for snorkelling or diving. In addition to the classic beach holiday, tourists choose this beach to relax in quality and comfort, surrounded by exotic nature and do:

  • winsurfing;
  • kayaking;
  • wakeboarding;
  • diving;
  • snorkeling;
  • sailing;
  • other water sports.

The beach, like the entire atoll, is located in the zone of the biosphere reserve, protected by UNESCO. There are all conditions for a quiet family holiday with children, romantic vacations for two, active leisure with a youth company and alone.

Because of the remote location providing a secluded and relaxing holiday, the only convenient way to get to Kihavah Island Beach is to use a seaplane. It will take for you less than 35 minutes to get from Male Airport.

When is the best time to go?

Maldives – is an equatorial country with a tropical climate, where the weather is always warm at + 27-30ºС. But the islands have some seasonal features. From mid-April to the end of October it often rains here. The dry season lasts from November till April. At this time, the initially clear sea becomes completely transparent, and the sun illuminates in the sky 12 hours a day.

Important: A large amount of plankton is collected in October and November off the coast, which is why the ocean takes on a slightly unclear hue. On the other side – plankton illuminates the sea at night, creating an indescribable picture. At this time, coastal waters are filled with stingrays – fabulously fascinating creatures that are in no way inferior to the dolphins.
