The villa
One house. One group. Yours alone.
Anam Villa is a private villa on Baa Atoll, a two-minute walk from the beach. We only host one group at a time, so it's always yours alone. A wide porch opens to a sandy front yard, with an outdoor table and a screen for slow evenings outside.
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.
Coming soon A private pool off the porch, in build now.

A UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, right outside.
Anam Villa sits in Baa Atoll, a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve. The beach is a short walk away, two or three minutes on foot.
Getting here is simple. It is a twenty-minute domestic flight from Malé to Dharavandhoo, and we will meet you at the airport when you land.

Beyond the villa.
The best of the reserve is a short boat ride away. From sand banks in open water to reef snorkelling and dawn dolphin cruises, 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.
A Maldivian fishing evening
Fishing
Traditional hand-line fishing at dusk, or a longer sport fishing trip out on the open water for bigger catches.
