Set on a private island in the Raa Atoll, Heritance Aarah is just 40 minutes by seaplane from Malé International Airport yet feels a world away from civilisation. The island has an exquisite natural beauty, with the surrounding azure waters offering the chance for water-skiing, kite surfing and wind surfing, snorkelling and scuba diving, and catamaran sailing.

Other things to do at Heritance Aarah include a Kids’ Club, gym, and spa with wide range of wellness treatments. Dining options are upscale, including private culinary experiences and overwater restaurants. Guests on a premium all-inclusive package can choose between all seven restaurants and five bars during their stay.

The 124 villas and 26 suites are designed to blend into the environment yet inside have all the latest contemporary comforts. Take in beach or sea views from the balcony-facing bedroom, private sundeck and seating area, and spacious ensuite bathroom with deep bath and outdoor shower. Some rooms have the addition of a pool or extra room for family/friends. All rooms include snorkelling fins and masks for the duration of your stay.
