Excitement is building for the launch of Amari Raaya Maldives, the newest luxury destination resort found on a lush private island in Raa Atoll, Maldives, opening in August 2023. Located just 45 minutes by seaplane from Velana International Airport, Amari Raaya Maldives is an accessible option for travellers looking to experience the unique destination that is the Maldives.

In celebration, Amari Raaya Maldives is pleased to announce an exclusive pre-opening offer for guests to be some of the first to experience this untouched island haven, including a huge saving of 40%. The deal is available for stays from 1st August – 23rd December 2023 – including the peak school summer holiday season meaning it has never been a better time to book.

Inspired by the surrounding nature, endless open ocean and a sense of castaway adventure, couples, families or friends can celebrate life’s best moments through spectacular dining, exciting activities and unobstructed ocean views from 187 beach and ocean villas – each offer direct access to the beach or ocean. With an exciting agenda of activities and memorable experiences, the brand-new resort offers something for everyone from those seeking romance, family adventures or bucket-list adventures. Just some of the many highlights to look forward to include:

Explore untouched nature: Guests looking to escape the world and relish exquisite natural beauty should look no further. Situated on one of the largest natural islands in Raa Atoll, at 390,000 square metres (39 hectares), Amari Raaya has been sympathetically designed with much of the lush forest reserved for guest enjoyment, including a natural mangrove with forest trails for walking, and sky-high watchtower views to enjoy. Interwoven into the experience is the fictional story of Seb, a portrait artist who was shipwrecked on the island and who has inspired the resort’s concept. Discover the remnants of his castaway story, including his art studio, ship, and watchtowers converted to private dining and star-gazing venues.

For families: Not just for couples, Amari Raaya Maldives offers comprehensive facilities for young children and teenagers, from sports to play areas. The kids’ club offers fun for all ages – younger children can enjoy arts and crafts whilst older children can venture out armed with a map and compass in search of puzzles, art and treasure. Families and groups can opt for a Family Beach or Family Beach Pool Villa, a unique accommodation style, offering two-interconnected villas and a shared private outdoor living space for quality time together.

For activity hunters and thrill seekers: The local reef is home to an abundance of ocean life including sea turtles and in the season the famous bioluminescent plankton. Venture into the deep blue Indian Ocean and dive with the onsite certified PADI instructors – spot the local sea turtles, or enjoy fun-filled water activities. Alternatively, guests can try archery, zip lines, mini-golf, paddle tennis, and badminton, or take a dip in the two stunning pools.

For romance and relaxation: Romance knows no bounds at Amari Raaya Maldives. Start the day with one of the Maldives’ most iconic experiences – a floating breakfast served in your very own private pool. Relax in the sumptuous Maai Spa, offering unique, personalised treatments inspired by Thai traditions. Later, enjoy a candlelit dinner on the beach surrounded by fresh flower petals as the sun sets beyond the ocean. Alternatively, dine beneath the island’s lush forest canopy, with twinkling lights providing an atmosphere of true romance.

For foodies: Guests will be in gastronomy heaven with seven dining options serving up vibrant flavours, combining Thai, Asian, Maldivian and International cuisine. Each dining destination offers something special, from bustling hawker food stalls at the signature Amaya Food Gallery to sunset snacks and cocktails on rooftops, Italian favourites served poolside, mobile snacks and ice-creams served from a bus, and sumptuous freshly caught seafood daily.

For bucket-list experiences: Those looking to tick something extra special from their life to-do list can take their pick from experiences including welcoming sundown from atop a canopy of palms or dining on a private corner of the beach whilst feeling the sand between your toes and watching the sun slip from the horizon. Or how about the thrill of swimming with whale sharks beneath the ocean waves, or paddle-boarding, jet-skiing or kayaking on the azure blue waters – moments never to be forgotten.
