Guest Houses in Raa Atoll

"Everything was perfect from the moment we landed at Valena international airport to the moment we left. The Villa, the Staff, the food, the view, the whole resort, the Team at Raaya certainly made it memorable ☺️"

"It was an amazing experience! "

"Where to even begin? From the moment we arrived, we were completely mesmerized. The island is breathtaking and the hotel is more beautiful in real life. It felt like stepping into paradise. The crystal-clear waters, the soft sandy beaches, and the marine life made us feel like we were living in an aquarium. But what truly sets the hotel apart is not just its beauty—it’s the people. The warmth, kindness, and genuine hospitality of the staff made our stay beyond special. A heartfelt thank you to Poula, our extraordinary host, who went above and beyond to make us feel at home. His attention to detail and constant care made all the difference. We also want to send a big thank you to Lama and the amazing team at the Kids Club for creating unforgettable memories for our children. They loved every moment and the fun activities! Dining at Kula every day was another highlight of our trip. The variety, the quality, and most of all, the service exceeded expectations. A special thank you to Bhavin, Shokhawat, Humair, Ansari, Anupam, Anpum, Sager, and Nagendra (and all the others that I forgot to ask for their names, I'm so sorry but I guess you know who you are) for your warm smiles and outstanding service—you truly made every meal an experience to remember. One thing is clear: the hotel takes exceptional care of its team, and in turn, they take extraordinary care of their guests. Their happiness and dedication shine through in everything they do. We cannot wait to return. "

"Most amazingly beautiful island, totally relaxing. Holiday was made extra special by all the staff who were so nice and friendly. Would not hesitate in returning to this beautiful island."

"We already had extremely high expectations both of the Maldives and Faarafushi but OH MY GOODNESS did Faarafushi exceed those expectations! It is truly heaven on earth. The rooms are divine, the sea life is out of this world, the food is delectable, the cocktails and wine selection are to die for, the spa is bliss, but the staff is what makes this place even more special than you can imagine! Such kind and friendly people! Sundar and Ankur are both fantastic cocktail makers and kind and funny people. Sundar made us the most special cocktails and led a wonderful cocktail class and Ankur led a super interesting molecular mixology class, neither of which you should miss! Vishal gave “turn down service” a whole new meaning with his incredible decorations, and also treated us to birthday decorations for my husband’s birthday and honeymoon decorations. True works of art! We don’t know our masseurs name unfortunately but we had the best Balinese couples massage of our lives! Priyanka was our waitress a couple of nights and was just the sweetest and most attentive waitress one could imagine! We also loved Mohammed and Rohit who told us a lot about the Maldives and Rohit helped us plan our trip to Agra (where we were off to next). And finally our INCREDIBLE host Fayaz who was simply amazing! Organised everything to perfection, always checked in on us and made sure we were happy with everything and just made the whole experience perfection. Run don’t walk to this resort! It is HEAVEN!"

"A great all inclusive property to stay at. All the staff are really welcoming & polite. Our host was Elena and she was really fabulous in making sure we enjoy our stay at Emerald and helped to create all itineraries at the resort."

"I could not fault this resort, right from the arrival they took such great care of us. The food was outstanding and the staff were super friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend Cora Cora for a special trip away. "

"We did Joali for a 15yr anniversary trip. It is a long trip from North America but well worth it! This place is heaven. The website is actually really understated, it’s hard to describe how beautiful and luxurious things are once you arrive. You get a personal butler to meet all of your needs and arrange things. The rooms are huge and gorgeously appointed. All the staff are amazing and the food was absolutely phenomenal. I do gluten-free and they were able to customize anything. I wanted on the menu. The scuba diving is great and the equipment is all brand new and top-notch, including giving your own dive computer. There’s amazing water sports, including a private yacht to Charter, Sea-Doo and all kinds of manual water sports. We played Padel and tennis. Highly highly recommend."

"Great staff, food was delicious, beautiful island. Just wish the bar fridge in the room was colder. Highly recommend this resort !"
