Four 5-star hotels in Raa Atoll – and how to choose
The Standard Huruvalhi Maldives starts at 363 €, Alila Kothaifaru Maldives at 761 €, Emerald Maldives Resort at 774 € and InterContinental Maldives Maamunagau at 1,241 € – almost three and a half times the entry rate.
The Standard Huruvalhi Maldives · Raa AtollTogether the best hotels in Raa Atoll offer 66 room categories, 15 of them suites.
Why we recommend it: Raa Atoll holds eight resort islands. Our travel advisors picked four of them, half the field – and the selection follows what the rate covers. The two more expensive hotels bundle services you would otherwise pay for one by one: at Emerald Maldives Resort the meals for two people, at InterContinental Maldives Maamunagau seven separate extras. The two cheaper ones do not. The nightly rate here measures the package, not the room.
Our travel advisors’ insider tip
Offset the seven extras at InterContinental Maldives Maamunagau. Included there are: access to the private lounge at the seaplane terminal, complimentary non-motorised water sports, a 60-minute massage for two people, a private Mercedes transfer to and from the seaplane terminal, an island butler, bicycles to explore the island and a 30-minute photo shoot including one free printed photograph. At Emerald Maldives Resort, all-inclusive for two people is included instead.
Where to stay in Raa Atoll: four islands, four packages
The four hotels lie within 21 kilometres, each on an island of its own. The longest distance in this selection separates The Standard Huruvalhi Maldives on Huruvalhi from Alila Kothaifaru Maldives on Kothaifaru.
Alila Kothaifaru MaldivesThose 21 kilometres measure no driving time, though: no car runs between the islands. Moving means a boat or a seaplane.
The Standard Huruvalhi Maldives stands on Huruvalhi, Alila Kothaifaru Maldives on Kothaifaru, Emerald Maldives Resort on Fasmendhoo and InterContinental Maldives Maamunagau on Maamunagau.
Raa Atoll itself – officially North Maalhosmadulu – holds around 88 islands, 15 of them inhabited and eight carrying a resort. You arrive via Malé: from there it is roughly 45 minutes by seaplane.
66 room categories: the best hotels in Raa Atoll from the inside
The best hotels in Raa Atoll offer 66 room categories between them, 15 of them suites. That sounds low, and there is a reason: in the Maldives the large accommodation is usually called a villa or a residence rather than a suite.
InterContinental Maldives Maamunagau · Raa AtollAmong the largest accommodation in this selection is the Club Royal Residence at InterContinental Maldives Maamunagau. In the same hotel follow a Club Lagoon Residence, then a Club Residence Terrace and a Beachfront Residence at 535 sqm each, and a Club Overwater Residence at 460 sqm.
At Emerald Maldives Resort two Royal Beach Villa Suites with sea view rank among the largest accommodation, joined by a Presidential Water Villa Suite at 522 sqm.
The large accommodations in this selection therefore concentrate at InterContinental Maldives Maamunagau and Emerald Maldives Resort – precisely the two hotels that also sit at the top of the price range.
