Set to be one of the most sought-after new getaway destinations in 2024, RAAYA by Atmosphere officially opened today. It is the ninth Atmosphere Core resort in the Maldives and the third spectacular property from the leading international hospitality company to open in the archipelago under the Atmosphere Hotels & Resorts brand.
RAAYA by Atmosphere joins the prestigious ranks of its award-winning sister resorts in the Maldives, Atmosphere Kanifushi and VARU by Atmosphere. A natural sanctuary almost entirely dedicated to lush greenery, pristine white beaches and a wildlife-rich tropical forest canopy, with only a small portion of the island remaining as living space, a testament to RAAYA by Atmosphere’s relationship with ecological harmony and connection with Mother Nature herself.
Simplicity is the purest essence of a memorable island getaway, where once booked, guests will simply choose where to dine, drink, relax and enjoy from a range of outlets.
There’s no need to budget extra for seaplane transfers, spa treatments or sea tours in your vacation budget – all the usual extras are arranged with our special RAAYA Plan™, with fun perks not included in typical all-inclusive packages. This all-inclusive vacation plan concept seamlessly blends your stay with the finest international cuisine, premium beverages, spa and wellness therapies, sea experiences, curated artistic moments, as well as an endless array of activities, sports and games.
Commenting on the opening and the island concept, General Manager Philippe Claverot said: “RAAYA by Atmosphere offers a guest experience like no other – one that balances escapism and energy. Our island is deeply rooted in personal expression and aims to create moments of well-being at every turn. Every aspect of the guest experience is designed to cater to everyone’s needs, whether they’re a romantic couple looking for peace and tranquility or a Robinson Crusoe castaway family seeking adventure.”
Enjoy an inspiring fantasy island experience, a place teeming with life. The only way to truly appreciate the awe-inspiring beauty of the Maldives is by seaplane, with views of the islands’ stunningly unique atolls. Witness the subtle contrast between the deep blue of the ocean and the tropical turquoise coral reefs. This short 45-minute seaplane trip is the only way to truly experience a true “sense of arrival” in the paradise of the Maldives.
RAAYA by Atmosphere features 167 beach and ocean villas and six diverse restaurants that blend local traditions with international cuisine. In addition to one of the most stunningly secluded beaches, the island is an adventure playground offering water sports, diving, padel, futsal, a kids club, a skate circuit, an art and craft studio, a tranquil journey through mangrove boardwalks, a playful mini golf course, a stargazing watchtower and the signature branded ELE|NA SPA, surrounded by the serenity of nature. Guests are invited to a memorable island getaway that balances escapism and energy, activities for all lifestyles and ages, and an all-enriched experience enriched by the vibrant traditions of local Maldivian culture.
