Baa is one of the 20 atolls of the Maldives. It includes the small island of Kihaadhuffaru, reminiscent of its shape of a coconut from a bird's flight. And on it is a luxury hotel - Kihaad Maldives 5 *, which fully corresponds to the declared five-star level. You can verify this by looking at the photos and reading the description. But it’s better to come and see for yourself. However, this is an individual matter and depends on desire. But to get acquainted with the hotel according to the description is still worth it.
general information
So, Kihaad Maldives 5 * is a resort complex that spans 600 meters along the island and is surrounded by evergreen vegetation. In walking distance in any direction - a gorgeous beach with white sand and colorful coral reef.
This complex consists of 118 spacious villas and various buildings and areas that make up the entertainment infrastructure (bars, restaurants, SPA, etc.). It is even difficult to call it a hotel. After all, it is a well-maintained separate island, on which there is everything that vacationers need!
By the way, this elite paradise resort was built in 2012. Its total area in exact figures is 250x600 m. How to get to it? All guests arrive at Male Airport, located on the island of Hulul, near the capital of the Maldives and the most populated city of the archipelago - Male. Representatives of Kihaad Maldives 5 * usually meet them there and organize a seaplane transfer, which takes about 35 minutes. Although there is another option - an internal flight and a boat. The time is about the same. Which option is more convenient for guests - they decide.
Service
The service at Kihaad Maldives 5 * really deserves a solid five. There is everything that can be useful to guests, any services: high-speed Wi-Fi, shuttle service, luggage storage, tour desk, 24/7 currency exchange, laundry and ironing, beauty salon, several large shops, and even a small business center with a conference room.
In addition to the above, concierge services are provided, drinks and food are delivered to your room, packed lunches are prepared for the trip, and even waking up at the guest’s request.
Speaking of staff. Of course, highly qualified tourism professionals work here. But how much language they speak will amaze anyone. Thirteen! Among them: Arabic, English, German, French, Spanish, Hindi, Italian, Indonesian, Portuguese, Ukrainian, Filipino, Chinese and, of course, Russian. So no one should have problems associated with the language barrier.
Leisure
In Kihaad Maldives 5 * everyone comes for two things - service and beach holidays. The turquoise, perfectly transparent ocean and the cleanest beach with soft sand - the main thing here is entertainment. But still, while staying here on vacation, you can do something else.
The complex has sun terraces and numerous pools (including panoramic ones) hidden in the shade of evergreen trees, a modern fitness center with many exercise machines and personal instructors, everything you need to play darts, billiards, squash, and two more tennis court. There, by the way, trainers work who will teach beginners how to deal with a racket correctly.
But what is really worth doing while staying at the Kihaad Maldives 5 * hotel is water sports. In particular, riding a jet ski. Who does not know how - can not worry. After all, there is an instructor who will quickly teach a beginner, and if necessary, then he will provide support throughout the entire time of skiing.
In addition, it is worth doing diving (everyone heard about the rich underwater world of the waters of the Maldives), swim with majestic mantas and order fishing at sunset. If you manage to catch something, then the catch will be prepared in the restaurant as the guest wants.
Spa Salon
Naturally, it is also available on the territory of such a chic complex as Kihaad Maldives 5 *. Service in the Spa-salon on top. Even treatment rooms are categorized. Some are designed for guests who want to enjoy Spa-services alone, while others are for those who came with their soul mate or with someone in the company.
By the way, if guests are interested in massage, then it is not necessary to go to the salon. It is also made on the beach. It is worth noting that Thai, reflex and Swedish massage are especially popular here, as well as stone therapy (hot stones).
You can also visit the steam room, hammam or sauna, soak in the jacuzzi or sign up for beauty treatments. Among them are body peeling, facial cleansing, body wraps, nourishing masks, aromatherapy, Spa baths, etc. A full list of services can be found individually or after arriving on the island.
For the smallest
Some people with children take them with them when traveling to Kihaad Maldives 5 *. The infrastructure of the hotel, as you could already understand, is quite developed, so the fact that there are entertainment for children here will not surprise anyone.
On the territory there is a mini-club in which parents can leave their child and not worry about him. The tutors are watching the kids there, and the organization of their leisure falls on the shoulders of the animators. Entertainment programs, if you believe the reviews of parents, are excellent here - the children do not even want to leave the club.
True, a very small child can not be taken into it, since you can only go there from the age of four. But it's not a problem! Guests can be offered the services of a personal baby sitter - a nanny. She can be invited to the apartment and she will stay with the baby.
I would also like to note that on the territory there is a playground for children, separate pools, and in the restaurants of the complex there is a children's menu and chairs for babies. Everything is thought out, and this can not but rejoice.
