Rahaa Resort

The Island

Sporting architecture and design that fuses traditional Maldivian elements with modern simplicity, Rahaa aims to make the Maldives more accessible to all classes of travellers who want to experience its pristine white sand beaches and crystal clear waters. This a destination in itself — a unique island with its own natural lake, in an atoll which offers perhaps the most comprehensive glimpse into the history and heritage of the nation.

The resort itself is the main building and villas scattered along the ocean and along the adjoining lake with sea water. The lake is much warmer, it also has fish and even rays, on the morning hours it begins to tide up with the tide, and in the evening it becomes very shallow.

Location

The hidden secret of the Indian Ocean - Laamu atoll or Haddumathi is formed by the largest islands in the Maldives archipelago, three of which by local standards can be considered gigantic. Six Senses is the only 5-star resort in Laamu atoll, making it a secluded and luxurious retreat for couples and families alike. Just a domestic flight from Malé International Airport to Kadhdhoo Airport (KDO) and a short boat ride brings you to a place where among untouched coral reefs the dolphins swim. Read More

Rahaa in the Maldivian history refers to a ruler of the island or throne. The name stands for the standard of comfort experienced at the resort by its guests. Rahaa is located in the vibrant Laamu atoll, and complements the history and culture of the Maldives through its architecture, design and experiences. The property is only accessible by mandatory domestic flight transfer that takes 40-minutes from Velana International Airport, followed with a 30-minute speedboat ride to the resort. Transfers charges are $450 per adult and $350 per child (2 to 12 yrs) per roundtrip including the domestic flight and speedboat transfers.

Villas

The four-star resort offers accommodation in two categories: Deluxe Ocean View Villas and Lake View Villas. Characterised by spaciousness, modern interior and bright colours, each villa has an en-suite bathroom that is fully equipped with a bathtub and an outdoor shower. The villas have a porch for you to wake up and enjoy your coffee or read a book in the evening as fresh breeze from the lagoon and the sea soothe your body and mind.

All villas are the perfect place for you to hit refresh. To make you feel at home, their linens and furniture are handpicked by industry professionals just to ensure your stay with them is unforgettable.

The hotel gives the feeling that you are alone on this island, the villas are hidden by vegetation, so you see other guests only at dinner and in the bar, so you feel the maximum privacy.
