RAAYA by Atmosphere is the newest addition to the Atmosphere family and a chic all inclusive resort which mixes contemporary architecture with traditional Maldivian charm. Located in the Raa Atoll, it is a stunning 45-minute complimentary seaplane transfer from Male International Airport but feels a million miles away once you arrive and find yourself immersed in the world of “Seb’s Island”, discovered in 1954.
Villas at RAAYA by Atmosphere are located either on the beach, surrounded by lush tropical vegetation or perched on stilts over the glistening water with direct access to the ocean below. Boasting a unique design and with pitched roofs to give a real sense of space many villas also offer private pools. We think that families and small groups will love the two-bedroom villa options giving them the space and comfort to enjoy quality time together.
Dining options on RAAYA are plentiful and the food itself is excellent. The Village offers some of the finest Italian cuisine we have sampled in the Maldives, with favourites such as pasta, gnocchi and risotto on the menu. Other dining experiences include Middle Eastern fine dining and sumptuous cocktails at MIZÃJ and contemporary Pan-Asian delights at AMPERS&ND. For something a little different, head to Seb's Shack - a laid back beach bar serving refreshing cold drinks along with light bites.
RAAYA manages to strike the perfect balance between its Robinson Crusoe-esque charm with all the benefits of a world-class All-Inclusive escape. For those looking to stay active, a daily snorkelling excursion to the nearby reef offers an underwater adventure, and a range of non-motorised watersports are also available as part of the all inclusive package. Guests staying a minimum of 4 nights can take advantage of a complimentary spa treatment at ELE|NA Spa, as well as a complimentary sunset fishing excursion and sunset cruise per stay. For something a little more unique we recommend taking a walk through the island’s mangroves, and building your own miniature traditional Dhoni to sail on your last evening.

I loved the view of the sunset from the main pool area and thought the rooftop bar had a great vibe, something really quite different in the Maldives. I was also really impressed with the food. Dining at The Village was a real treat and without doubt the best Tiramisu I have tasted!
