Kiha Beach, An Amazing Resort in Maldives

If you’ve seen my previous article, I decided to feature Maldives. The Maldives have recently opened for tourism. A lot of tourist destinations were affected financially by this pandemic. So I decided to help feature tourist destinations and places where travelers could stay.

Luckily, the management of Kiha Beach partnered with me to promote their luxury guest house. It is located on the western side of Dharavandhoo Island, Baa Atoll. Maldives is composed of atolls. What is an atoll? It is an island or a series of islets formed by ring shaped coral reefs that is surrounded by a lagoon.

So let me tell you about this beautiful guesthouse in Maldives. They allowed me to use the images that they have so I can share with you this marvelous place for you to consider when you visit Maldives. Kiha Beach has an area of 60,000sq ft that can accommodate 30-40 guests at the same time. This place boasts a restaurant, a common lobby and reception for guests and an outdoor swimming pool.

As mentioned in my previous entry, some resorts and establishments do not sell alcoholic beverages for the reason that this resort is located on a local island where a local community can be found.

I personally recommend this place because it’s right within the budget even though it says that it’s a luxurious guesthouse. Just by looking at the pictures alone, you’d agree with me that it is indeed luxurious. But when I checked their rates based on contracted rates from 2020 to 2022, it ranges from $90 to $245 during off peak season, $120 to $230 during the peak season and $100 to $240 during the manta season; tax included. Not bad for travelers right? Of course, the higher rates are for family rooms.

What are their room types?

Standard Room – Good for 1-2 persons with double or twin beds
Deluxe Room – Good for 1-2 persons with double or twin beds
Ultimate Room – Good for 1-2 persons with double bed
Family Room – Good for 2-3 persons with double and single bed

Please note that a green tax of $3 is charged per person per day. This is similar to environmental fees when we visit a conserved island or place to keep the environment clean and maintained.

If you want a hassle free booking, go to the link below for the best rates and pay with however you want. Can I also mention that their rooms are so big that you’ll be surprised for what you paid for? Seriously guys, I have been to resorts in other countries like Fiji but the rooms here are bigger and cost the same.

For kids aged up to 6 years old, they are free of charge in terms of accommodation (bed sharing) and meal depending on the chosen meal plan. They also have a mandatory New Year’s Supplementary dinner that costs $45 for adults and $25 for kids. A rate for an additional person for an extra bed is $15 per night and $18 per meal.

Transfers are definitely needed because you will travel from Male to Baa Atoll. Below are the rates for transfers:

Via Domestic Flight

Rate per adult (12 years old above): USD 175
Rate per kid (2 years old – 11.99): USD 85

Sector: Male to Dharavandhoo return Dharavandhoo to Male No. of Flight: 4-5 flights everyday with travel time: 20 minutes
