Raa Atoll

Furaveri Maldives

Spread across 23 hectares in the untouched Raa Atoll, Furaveri Maldives pairs natural beauty with a strong sense of local culture and character. Turquoise water and dense greenery surround 169 villas and residences, ranging from tranquil garden retreats to over-water pool sanctuaries and roomy two-bedroom residences, each built around comfort and privacy. Dining is one of the island's defining strengths, with six restaurants and a beach bar covering everything from Maldivian Fridays to destination dinners and hands-on cooking classes. At the centre of it all sits the Maldives' first dedicated Wellness Village, offering spa pavilions, yoga spaces, hydrotherapy, and fitness facilities for guests looking to properly unwind. Divers can explore vibrant reefs through the on-site PADI centre, water sports fill out the lagoon, and a kids' club and family-friendly pools keep younger guests entertained — all wrapped in the resort's relaxed, distinctly Maldivian character.

Raa Atoll

Cinnamon Velifushi Maldives

Reached by a 25-minute seaplane flight (or roughly 50 minutes by speedboat) from Velana International Airport, Cinnamon Velifushi Maldives balances quiet elegance with genuine marine adventure. Resident nurse sharks glide close to shore, healthy reefs sit just offshore for snorkelling, and nearby wrecks give divers something extra to explore. Families are well looked after, with an active kids' club and easy wildlife encounters that appeal to younger guests, while couples can book a private, candlelit dinner set up right on the beach. Villas and over-water suites lean on Italian-inspired interiors and wide ocean views, giving every room a strong sense of space. A dedicated spa offers a calmer counterpoint to the water-based activity, and the kitchens mix Maldivian staples with international dishes across the island's restaurants and bars — a resort where refined comfort and ocean adventure sit comfortably side by side.

Intercontinental Maldives Resort

InterContinental Maldives Resort sits in Raa Atoll, a 35-minute seaplane transfer from Velana International Airport, close enough to the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve at Hanifaru Bay to make manta ray encounters a realistic part of the stay. Across the resort's 81 villas, guests move easily between white-sand beach, open ocean, and the large lagoon that wraps the entire island, itself home to several snorkelling spots thick with reef fish, blacktip reef sharks, dolphins, and turtles. As the first and only all-Club InterContinental property, every stay comes with a set of built-in privileges — a smoother pre-arrival process, a warm island welcome, and complimentary food and drink throughout. Dining runs across six venues, including a 360-degree lighthouse restaurant serving Mediterranean-inspired tapas and a sea-to-table Fish Market where guests pick their own catch. The resort's Marine Discovery Centre, staffed by resident biologists, runs weekly presentations and coral restoration work, and partners with the Manta Trust Foundation on an 'Adopt a Manta' conservation programme. Between the AVI Spa, the Planet Trekkers kids' club, and consistent access to some of the atoll's richest marine life, the resort covers honeymoon, family, and experience-led travel in equal measure.
