Overall a great experience at Raaya Island, clean and an exceptionally hospitable service from staff and hosts. We went for a beach villa stay and over water villa stay with pools in both. We thoroughly enjoyed the view from the pools, and also the waters around. The island is huge in comparison to other more expensive resorts that are only perhaps a few linear streets long, while Raaya is heavily populated with wildlife and greenary, hugged by a circular dirt road. The beach villas are adequately spacious though not the biggest, but the water villas are fantastic for the boundless views it gives. Apple and I would like to commend the exceptional service quality we received from some of the staff members from Raaya. That includes: * Putu - Chef at Raaya, whom was very warm, constantly asking for our feedback on the food. He also accommodated our background and even suggested and cooked us food that is not on the buffet menu. Seafood Mussels etc. He cooked food that is suitable for our taste pallette. Great chats as well and professional etiquette. * Mehri - Sweet and cheerful staff who helped and waited for us under the hot weather while we played sports. She also took time off her break to help us finish constructing our Dhoni wood mini boat and gave us painting tools for it. Her hospitable service is second to none from this Raaya Island. The island is amazing for its beauty, but some improvements has to be made before it can be considered a top tier destination. This includes the heavy mosquito situation which makes travelling feel like a drag and it's quite bad, and the wifi weak spots where internet is lacking. This and the inclusion of bathtubs will truly make Raaya a target destination favoured by more resort seekers. Read less

Our honeymoon at Raaya by Atmosphere Maldives was exceptional. The service at Raaya Life, Soaq Bar, The Village and Ampers& was outstanding, exceeding expectations. We enjoyed snorkeling, a sunset cruise, fishing, spa therapy, and a magical candlelight dinner by the beach. The full board inclusive dining offered delicious options, and the well-appointed rooms ensured a comfortable and luxurious stay. From check-in to check-out, everything was seamless, making our experience unforgettable. Raaya by Atmosphere Maldives is highly recommended for a romantic honeymoon or a luxurious getaway. We wouldn't mind visiting again from Malaysia if it's subsidised or sponsored by the Hotel. Hahaha Arvin and Krithika from Malaysia Read less
