Heritance Aarah, Maldives

Tucked away in the Raa Atoll, a 40-minute seaplane glide from Malé, Heritance Aarah is the Maldives at its most generous. Powder-white sand, glass-clear lagoons and a house reef teeming with marine life set the scene — but it’s the Premium All-Inclusive plan that really sets this resort apart.

Over seven nights, you’ll dine your way through seven restaurants and five bars, from contemporary Sri Lankan and Maldivian flavours at Ambula to Mediterranean classics over the water at Ralu, Japanese teppanyaki, Tokyo-and-Bangkok street food, and a theatrical overwater fusion experience at Baani. Premium spirits, whiskey and rum tastings, wine flights and cocktail masterclasses are all part of the package, along with a daily-replenished minibar and a bottle of sparkling wine on arrival.

When you’re not eating or sipping, head out on complimentary snorkelling and dive trips, unwind at the overwater IASO Spa, or fill the days with tennis, yoga, or simply doing very little from your private villa deck.

Recently named Leading All-Inclusive Resort at the South Asian Travel Awards 2025 and a TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice “Best of the Best” winner, Heritance Aarah delivers a barefoot-luxury Maldives stay where pretty much everything’s already taken care of before you arrive.
