One house. One group. Yours alone.
Anam Villa is a private villa on Baa Atoll, a two-minute walk from the beach. We only ever host one group at a time, so the whole house is always yours alone. A wide porch opens to a sandy front yard, with an outdoor table and a screen for slow evenings under the stars.
Inside, a large living room gathers around a deep sofa. Four bedrooms, a full kitchen and open-air bathing, plus a cushioned deck off the porch where the view does most of the work.

Beyond the villa.
Sand banks, reef snorkelling, dawn dolphin cruises. All of it is a short boat ride away, and we plan every outing around your group.
A morning on a bare sand bank
The sand banks
Get dropped on a ribbon of sand ringed by clear water, with a picnic and shade, then picked up when you are ready.
Drifting a coral reef
Reef snorkelling
Head out by boat to drift over coral, reef fish and turtles, on your own or with a guide.
Spinner dolphins at dawn
Dolphin cruise
Spinner dolphins are a constant in Baa Atoll. Head out early morning to find them before the heat of the day.
Hawksbill turtle on the reef
Turtle watching
Hawksbill turtles feed on the reefs around the villa. Spot them on any snorkel or ask to be taken to a known resting site.
Schools drifting the reef
Reef fish schools
Dive among shifting schools of reef fish over the coral, the water alive with colour from morning to afternoon.
