5 Stars Hotels in Raa Atoll, Maldives

Added: Some waterflies will arrive at a connection point, and then take a boat to the island, which will not disturb the guests, but the disadvantage is that there is no sense of ceremony in greeting. There are also some water flies that stop directly on the island. A stove in an Italian restaurant was actually shipped from Europe

Everything was a great experience. The rooms were always clean and comfortable, not to mention gorgeous. The private pool, outdoor chairs, and hammocks are the resort. The blue ocean directly in front of you can be entered directly from your room (it's shallow so it's safe), and if you time it right, you can see lots of fish. There are many dining options, including Italian, Turkish, and Japanese, and the food is very good. After dinner, you can enjoy cocktails, mocktails, and shisha at the resort-style bar. If you stay in a water villa, you will have a dedicated butler who is available 24 hours a day. Communication is also smooth as you can do it via chat. Both the hardware and software are of high quality! I will definitely come back! I strongly recommend staying here.

Well…what can we say. We’re just packing up and saying good bye to the wonderful team at The Standard, Maldives. We actually came to The Standard this time last year (May/June 2022) and returned this year because we fell so in love with this magical place. Last year we got engaged at The Standard and the team went so above and beyond to accommodate us throughout our stay, but especially on the night of our engagement. We had a beautiful candle lit, private dinner. It was more than we could have asked for. We of course had to return when the opportunity arose. On arrival to Male, we were transported to The Standard’s new lounge, where a member of the team looked after us. We immediately felt like we were on holiday. We sat on the balcony, in the sunshine, watching the sea planes take off and land, helping ourselves to the fully stocked fridges for drinks and snacks. The team let us know when it was our turn to fly and escorted us to the correct waiting area (where we waited literally 10 minutes) it was all made so stress free and easy! We were welcomed to The Standard this year, with lots of familiar faces and some new ones too. It was particularly great to see Eva, Shasha and Shak again. All who were so accommodating and hospitable on both visits. We also met the super new GM, Ryszard, who very kindly welcomed us with some complimentary goodies when we were taken to our room. Eva is incredible. She’s super woman. She was always there to help us when we needed her, to plan our days, visits and bookings…anything from booking our dinner reservations, the tennis court, to booking us on to a Dolphin Cruise. She is a fantastic host. She kept us up to date regularly with the new schedules, packages available for the spa and water sports, slight changes due to weather change etc. Everything was thought about, and it was so organised. We went for breakfast and lunch at Kula every single day…how could we not? We were welcomed by the lovely Shak and Soobie, and the rest of the hard working team. So polite and respectful. Always there to make sure we are okay and happy. Our drinks were always replenished when needed/wanted. The variety of food is beyond your expectations. We were never left feeling hungry. There is obviously a lot of hard work and organisation that goes in to these meal times. Shasha and his team at the evening restaurants, BBQ Shak and GuduGuda were fantastic. We looked forward to every single meal time to be welcomed and fed by the restaurant staff. They go above and beyond to meet your wants and needs. The food is 5 star and so delicious. It is nice to have and try a mixture of local food, and food that we are familiar with. The bar staff are phenomenal. So friendly and helpful, always asking how our day has been. No order is a hard one for them. Again, replenishing drinks when we needed them at the pool. We absolutely loved visiting the spa last year, where we had a massage, a facial and I had a manicure. We were super exci

The hotel is new and very well decorated. Hotel food is also very diverse. The hotel will arrange a speedboat to connect domestic small planes to and from Male Airport, which can take about 40 people. Connections are handled by someone. The island's variety of wines is equipped with many options, suitable for young people. recommend

This was a return trip as we did not get enough of Alila Maldives the first time. Second trip is over and we want more! Truly magical experience, with a fantastic facility, friendly staff, large and fully equipped beach villa, beautiful people and great service. Sultan took care of all our needs without missing a beat. Swami from Eurodivers and his team were excellent as they took us private fishing and we caught our dinner, and also knew the tips and tricks to allow us to swim with turtles and a manta ray. The resort dining was top notch and even better than last time, and the boat to table experience and meeting the fishermen who provided the food for the massive buffet was a memorable experience. Yakatori Resturant was the unsung hero of the trip for us and a perfect dining location for lunch and dinner: not sure why it is not busier but we loved it and Chanaka went above and beyond. And finally Mirus Bar is the perfect place to unwind, chill, and listen to local DJ every evening: two thumbs up and thank you Sandeep for your energy and service. We are so coming back for a third visit.

Me and my family travelled to the Furarevi resort for a short 14 days. The service was impeccable and very personalised. During our stay I encountered a number of staff members who were proud to represent the business and were very perspicacious with their thoughts. However, a number of staff members went above and beyond to express politeness as well as strong work ethic. The fitness coach/entertainer Karim provided excellent showman ship and a friendly demeanour throughout our stay, his talents are none like i’ve seen before and we had multiple discussions about new acts and how he wanted to improve them to further excite the experience of the guests. One to watch. At the pool bar I would like to mention that Gokul, Crish, Adele, Sangeeta and Hari with their fast service and attention to detail. The staff all had a positive, work ready mind-set and continued to provide this through their long shifts with smiles on their face. Thirdly, the staff at Amigos were always looking for new guests to show off their amazing food and friendly customer service. The kitchen staff were very fast with food requests and were concise with their food preparation skills. Elton worked the bar during the holiday and was always optimistic, sharing his ability to provide great customer service. Finally, The buggy drivers were always polite and gave a welcoming smile no matter how hot the weather was. Harka, Dhombe and Milan were especially helpful; giving advice on restaurants; providing directions when needed; and any other general advice we may need during our stay. I would personally visit the resort again, and hopefully see some of your faces in the future.

Just returned from a 5 night stay at JB. Went there as one of our destinations for our 25th anniversary. Overall rating: 9/10   JB is an extremely beautiful place. Ultraluxury accommodation in a paradisiac environment. Architecture is stunning and fully integrated with local nature. Gardening is manicured, but at the same time respectful with endemic species. Decoration of common and private spaces is extremely tasteful, ample spaces everywhere that seem to have been designed with attention to every single detail.   Service is top-notch. From the people that deal directly with guests, to the large team in charge of keeping everything tidy. After an overnight trip from London, we were welcomed at the hotel lobby/port/marine airport, a stunning architectural design, by the hotel manager and several members of the team.   We were introduced to Razan, who was going to be our butler for the stay. Razan conducted himself with the right mix of professionalism and warming attitude. As with the rest of the operation, he was always on top of details, making sure we were happy and comfortable. Perfect butler that make our stay pleasant.   Service at common areas was again at an extremely high level. Beach and swiming-pool are very well attended. Bars and lunch area also very well served. Dinner service also really good. Reception at the restaurants was handled very professionally by several young woman, always with a welcoming smile. Waiters also super attentive at all times, to bring you anything you needed with a great attitude. Henry, in charge of this service team, came every single day to say hello and to spend a few minutes chatting with us and make sure everything was going well.   Food is at very high standard. Light salads nicely presented and tasteful. Meat and fish very well cooked. Menu is a mix of international cuisine with presence of Asian flavours and some local touch. JC, in charge of directing all cooking, also came to introduce himself and offered his help if we needed anything special. They do a very good job at the kitchens.   In terms of facilities, the overall theme of this resort is wellness, so as you can expect, SPA and GYM areas were at a super-high level. The SPA is one of the most gorgeous we have ever seen, a dream for instagramers, with a number of treatments to your taste. The Gym is absolutely first class, also in a large beautiful building, with several professionals and complimentary physical activities. Service in these facilities, again super pleasing and helpful.   At this ultra-luxury level of facilities and service, complaining of anything does not seem right, but let us address some areas to improve. ”Flow” is the name of the main restaurant, that is used both for breakfast and dinner; the transition of ambiances from day to night is very well thought-out, it feels like two different places, equally gorgeous. ”Mojo” is the alternative restaurant, that is next to the swimming pool, used for lunch, as all day bar, an

The island is relatively small and has 5 restaurants, one of which requires a fee. I live in a floating house, but there are not many fish😭 The hotel provides free snorkeling tools for snorkeling on the beach. There are big fish and small fish, and if you are lucky, you can see turtles❣️

My Wife and I went to the Maldives for her birthday as we have wanted to visit there for over 20 years. I chose the InterContinental as it looked like an amazing resort. What we found lived up to all our expectations and beyond. First off were the staff. From Nacer our concierge who made every day spectacular to Joy at the Retreat who is now family and absolutely all we met were beautiful people. That is a tough feat but I believe it comes from the direction of the leadership. Cortzer Deysel you and your senior management should be proud of what you have built in terms of your team and facilities. It’s amazing that we could visit such a beautiful place in paradise and one of the most spectacular things were the people we met. We will spread the word! Cheers
