Discover a pristine corner of paradise at Amari Raaya Maldives, set to unveil in summer 2023. Located on one of the lushest islands on the Raa Atoll, the resort celebrates the art and beauty of the archipelago’s natural riches.
From the luxurious villas to diverse dining options and plenty of activities ranging from exploring the rich house reef to workshops showcasing the local arts and crafts, and fun-filled family activities, every moment spent here will be the adventure of a lifetime!
Getting Here
Amari Raaya Maldives is located on the pristine Kudakurathu island in the Raa Atoll, a mere 164km northwest of Male.
Embark on a unique journey to our secluded paradise by taking a 45-minute seaplane ride with Manta Air. The DHC-6 Twin Otter ensures a safe and comfortable trip while providing an intimate experience with other passengers and pilots. The already idyllic experience will be enhanced by stunning views of the turquoise waters, reefs, and islands from the birds-eye perspective.
Upon arrival at Male International Airport, the resort’s representatives will transport you to the seaplane terminal for check-in. Relax in the newly-refurbished Manta Air Premium Lounge with complimentary refreshments, snacks, and Wi-Fi. Departure is a breeze from the colourful seaplane terminal dock, and the landing is just as thrilling as you’ll touch down directly in front of the resort.
Alternatively, we offer a domestic transfer option that includes a flight on a fixed-wing aircraft to Ifuru Domestic Airport, followed by a boat ride to the resort, which takes approximately 50 minutes.
Step into the world of Sebastian, the artist of an island
Celebrating our sense of adventure, woven into the Amari Raaya Maldives concept, is the story of a fictitious Sebastian (Seb), an artist who temporarily settled on the island in 1976. As you explore the resort, you’ll discover various art and structures made by Seb, including upcycled art, watchtowers, a scenic walkway through the lush mangroves, organic farms, and shipwrecks.
All of these elements come together to create an immersive experience for guests of all ages, allowing them to connect with nature, one another, and their own sense of adventure.
