A 40-minute seaplane flight northwest of Malé brings you to the Raa Atoll, where Heritance Aarah occupies its own island as a premium all-inclusive resort. The property is operated by Heritance Hotels, the Sri Lankan luxury group, and works as one of the more family-friendly options in the Maldives, with children under 12 staying and dining free during set periods.
Accommodation spans beach and overwater categories, from Beach Villas and Sunset Pool Beach Villas through two-bedroom family options, up to Overwater Ocean Suites with private infinity pools and the Ocean Residence with an infinity lap pool.
The premium all-inclusive plan covers seven restaurants and five bars, spa credits, non-motorized water sports, and a butler service. The resort took the Leading All-Inclusive Resort title at the 2025 South Asian Travel Awards and a Tripadvisor Travelers’ Choice Best of the Best award the same year.
