Alila Kothaifaru Maldives
About the Destination
Remote and unspoilt with an air of tranquil seclusion, the picturesque Raa Atoll is one of the deeper atolls in the Maldives archipelago, offering abundant snorkelling and diving options to explore its incredibly rich and diverse underwater world.
Beyond swimming in our stunning house reef, enjoy excursions to the famous Hanifaru Bay UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve. This protected marine sanctuary is the largest feeding and breeding hotspot in the world for manta rays and whale sharks, which at times congregate here in their hundreds. Snorkelling amongst these magnificent creatures is an experience not to be missed.
Alila Kothaifaru Maldives is also close to Vaadhoo Island, one of the best spots to witness the spectacular “Sea of Stars” phenomenon, an extraordinary sight to behold.
Whether relaxing on a sun-drenched beach, exploring the natural flora that thrives on our lush green island, or indulging your adventurous spirit, let nature be your host.
Design & Facilties
Designed for serene relaxation in harmony with nature, each of the resort’s 44 beachfront villas and 36 overwater villas comes with a private pool for your enjoyment. Featuring contemporary interiors in a palette of soothing colours with natural textures, these spacious hideaways are carefully positioned to provide privacy and comfort in understated, sophisticated style. Unwind in peaceful seclusion with awe-inspiring views as our gracious hosts deliver personalised experiences in this all-pool-villa sanctuary.
