Hotels With Bar in Raa Atoll, Maldives

The trip and stay in Reethi Faru will remain unforgettable in our memories. There was nothing to complain about. We only booked breakfast, which turned out to be right for us. So we were able to eat in one of the restaurants on the island every evening. With full board or all inclusive, dinner would only have been possible in the main restaurant (buffet), or in one of the other restaurants only for an additional charge. The rooms are well maintained and cleaned properly. Coffee, tea and water are refilled daily in the room free of charge. Room service twice a day, which we didn't use because we put ”do not disturb” on the door after the morning cleaning. The staff are without exception courteous and helpful. We also spent a lot of time in the diving center (we got certified). The management of the diving center is under Swiss management and it is precisely this Swiss quality of reliability that is demonstrated.

We stayed in this hotel for a week for our honeymoon and enjoyed every minute of it. The team is doing an excellent job to make everything all right for you with no exception. For example, my wife doesn’t like Asian food very much. We left our table early in the Asian restaurant to find some food for her in other restaurants, and every other restaurant’s staff was already alerted to make sure she would have something she likes. We were just like two spoiled kids from the moment we landed at Velana Airport until we left the country. Super clean rooms, buggies to everywhere, lovely snorkeling beaches, many restaurants and bars, housekeeping services, and a minibar full of nice drinks and nuts. We thank all of the hotel staff, starting from our villa host Visham to bartender Ahmed, as well as all the managers, restaurant hostesses, and waiters.

Our stay at You & Me for our honeymoon was nothing short of extraordinary! From the moment we arrived, we were warmly greeted by the staff, who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The check-in process was seamless, and we was escorted to a beautifully decorated dolphin villa room by Chopey. The room was, spacious and elegantly designed. The bed was comfortable and clean. The housekeeping staff ensuring everything was felt thoroughly cared for. Special thanks to Chopey, our dining options were outstanding, serving a variety of delicious dishes tepanyakki, Italian and etc. Overall, a flawless 5-star experience!😁

Upon arrival, we were upgraded to a water villa with a pool, which was fantastic, thank you! My 11-year-old son absolutely loved it. It turned out the pool was a great addition; we swam in both the pool and the ocean. The reef is amazing, with several snorkeling spots. The staff were beyond excellent; everyone greeted us with a smile, and the service was prompt. Buffet-style dining. Not everything was delicious, but there was plenty that was. We had crabs once. There was always a good selection of fish, and a variety of fruits for breakfast. The hotel grounds are clean and well-maintained. There's a diving center, and my son took a lesson. This island is more for relaxation, without the party scene, which suited us perfectly. The main guests were Italians, so pasta was always available for dinner!

The water house is also very good. The location is next to the breakwater, which is also the outermost part of the water house. It is very convenient to swim out and snorkel. There are still relatively few coral reefs, most of which are dead, but there are still many fish. Small sharks can often be seen here, which is also a rare experience. The only bad thing is that there are sometimes a lot of sea**** floating here, which smells very strong. It would be much better if you live in a water house in the middle.

I came here for the super beautiful sea water. The sea water color in Furawasi is ceiling-level, with all kinds of blue. Even the photos taken on cloudy days are beautiful. I would like to praise the Chinese housekeeper Lily, whose Chinese name is Jinen. She answered all my questions and helped me in various ways. There was also a security guy named Ken who let us snorkel at the cargo ship dock and attracted many fish for us. He was so nice. Sea fishing was also great. I caught a shark. I am very sorry. I hope it is safe.

This trip was absolutely amazing! I might even choose to come back here for my next vacation — it was honestly one of the best holidays I’ve ever had. I loved the island’s natural beauty and the facilities were great. The room was super nice too, and I especially loved the open-air bathroom — such a cool touch. The Raaya Plan was perfect for us — just the way I like to vacation. All the restaurants and food were fantastic, seriously delicious. Same with the bars and drinks — everything was top-notch. Even when it rained, there were still plenty of fun things to do, which made a huge difference. But what really impressed me the most was the service. From housekeeping to the bus drivers, from the front desk and host to the restaurant staff — pretty much everyone was amazing. A few people really stood out: • Mo from Raaya Life – hands down the best service staff we met. Just incredible. • Draco from the pool bar – his service was top-level. He had the vibe of a classic British butler — I loved that. • Arush from the Sunset Bar – super easy to talk to and really lifted our mood every time. • Dana, our host – so responsible and thoughtful. She made sure everything was perfect for us. Now, I did say it was almost perfect, and the only thing that really didn’t go well was the photography service. There were two photographers. The tall, slim guy with long hair was actually pretty good. But the other one — the more muscular guy — gave us a really bad experience. He wasn’t patient or professional, seemed really careless, and just wasn’t friendly at all. Honestly, it felt like he didn’t even want to be there, which totally ruined the vibe. So yeah, that was our whole experience at Raaya. I’m really hopeful you guys will keep getting better and better, and I seriously can’t wait to come back again next time!

When we arrived at Male Airport, Coracora's colleagues would take us to Seaplane to check in, and then we would go to Seaplane's lounge to rest and wait for boarding. (Seaplane needs to pay for it at your own expense and email coracora to arrange it). Seaplane takes about 1 hour to Coracora. Upon arrival, we will receive a welcome drink and a butler will take us to visit the island facilities. The island is very small but well-equipped. The most recommended is the restaurant on the island. You can order all the food on the menu (all inclusive packages in some resorts limit you to order 3-4 dishes), which is not enough. You can also order grab and go to bring food back to your room at no additional charge. There is also a Coffee bar and a Drink bar where you can order drinks at any time. The snorkeling reef is ok for novices, but not bad. Snorkeling equipment is provided free of charge on the island, but be sure to check whether it is damaged before borrowing it, because if it is damaged, you will be charged a hefty fee (I fell into the trap T^T). But overall, I would recommend this resort and it is very cost-effective. 

We really liked the hotel. The staff is very helpful and eager to help with everything. The food is excellent! The selection isn't huge, but they have themed dinners every day. In addition to the main restaurant, there are three other à la carte restaurants included in the price of your stay. You can make unlimited reservations. The food never gets boring. I'd also like to highlight the waitresses at the main restaurant: Aikerim, Shau, Zama, and Tiart. They were very attentive. We stayed for 11 nights. There were two free excursions, which added variety to your vacation. One of them was a dolphin-watching trip. Fortunately, we found out that things don't always go as planned. We also attended group yoga and stretching classes in the morning. We really enjoyed them. The hotel generally strives to add variety to your stay. A DJ plays at sunset in the bar almost every evening, and sometimes there's live music in the restaurant or on the beach. Over the course of our 11 days, they even showed a movie on the beach once, there was a drum and folk dance show once, and there was a nighttime pool party once. We were looking for a hotel where we wouldn't get bored, and we weren't disappointed! The room includes a minibar with wine, gin, whiskey, chocolates, beer, cola, and other drinks. The hotel has its own app with all the information, including a daily schedule. You can book restaurants and excursions through the app. The only downside for us was that by the end of our stay, we were incredibly bitten by mosquitoes. There were a lot of them near our villa. Since the bathroom is outside, you're likely to get bitten by mosquitoes while you're doing your business there. Of course, we'd come across this information. We prepared ourselves and brought mosquito spray. But in the end, everyone was still bitten 🥲. Perhaps there were mosquitoes only near our villa. We saw the island being treated with chemicals twice in the evening. But it seems the treatment didn't reach the villa.

I came here for the second time and it was very good. It was still the same wonderful experience! The connection to Male was seamless, and the lady was waiting for us at the door. We got in the Mercedes and headed for the seaplane. The lounge was super luxurious on the second floor. The seaplane took 45 minutes to get to the hotel. The CEO who came to pick us up at the door was a Frenchman who had just taken office this year. He would patrol every day and say hello to us. Yolanda is our Curator and is very responsible. It is very convenient to communicate with her directly on WeChat. We chose to eat at CafeUmi on the first night. The dinner at the lighthouse behind was very romantic. I recommend the steak, which was very tender. The third night was at the Fish Market. I don’t recommend steamed lobster, which was a bit too old. The last night was in time for the Easter gala, which was a very good buffet. We saw a lot of dolphins when we went out to sea, and we saw manta rays while snorkeling. The overall feeling was great, I love it
