I was luckily enough to have stayed at Heritance Aarah early November for a travel industry conference. What a magical place. Those pictures you see of the Maldives with clear blue/green water, white sand and amazing blue sky is what Heritance Aarah delivers plus so much more. The all-inclusive made everything just so easy and smooth. The crew were amazing and nothing to difficult. Amazing cocktails, a great selection of dining options made my trip. And to top it all off, my own Butler....wow Esam was absolutely incredible. Friendly, attentive, and one step ahead of my needs. A true asset to this resort and I cannot wait to return. And will have a special request to ensure Esam is allocated to our accommodation for sure!

We had a good time, the island is big, lots of complementary activities. We have been to the dolphin searching, night fishing and it was very nice experience. All the staff was very attentive! Our battler Hilmee was very kind booked everything priority, managed all our bookings perfectly.
We booked turtle trip and it was amazing! Again the water sports team was so kind and attentive!
Big pool, all inclusive experience was nice, good quality alcohol was included in the package.
However, we would like the resort to have some Sun beds by the ocean, as they are only for beach Villa owners. Beach club would be very nice, not only by the pool.
Also the food surprised us because there were not much variety of the seafood, mainly chicken and beef. The quality could have been better. And there was only 3-4 restaurants.
