Maldives, Indian Ocean

5 stars

In the South Ari Atoll, NH Maldives Kuda Rah is a private-island escape shaped around ease, privacy and the simple pleasures of island life. Clear lagoon waters and a vibrant house reef set the scene, while every villa comes with its own private pool - from beachside stays with direct access to the sand, to overwater villas with steps leading straight down into the lagoon. Days are made for snorkelling and diving, slow lunches and sunset drinks, with dining that ranges from seafood-led moments at Ocean by Kuda Rah to easygoing pool-bar time at Glow. It’s a Maldives stay that feels intimate, considered and perfectly paced for switching off.

I have been in presidential room, it was amazing. Bayezid helped us a lot to keep the room clean and in a good shape. Every morning he made some very nice composition with towels to make the room even more cozy.

“Our Maldives experience”

Dec 20, 2025ismet tina F

Arriving to NH Kuda Rah was such a wonderful experience n we cannot wait to enjoy our 7nites in this beautiful resort. We were met by Aster who welcome us the moment we arrived. We were booked at the beach villa for 4nts and the villa is clean n very comfortable. The next 3nts we were moving to the water villa but was totally surprised that the hotel upgraded us to the presidential suite. The villa is so beautiful, there is a private pool, jacuzzi and lots cozy outdoors furniture and a huge comfortable beds overlooking the water. Out room attendant Bayezid n team did a wonderful job by making cute animals with just towels. A lovely gesture! We enjoyed the snorkeling around the lagoon. Spotted black tip sharks, squids and colourful fished. The highlight of our trip is when we booked the whale sharks snorkeling tour with the hotel’s dive shop. We were so fortunate to see the whale sharks plus manta rays on that trip. It was memorable experience. During our stay, the hotel had a Christmas tree light up with the staff singing Christmas carols n a sumptuous buffet spread by the beach. It nothing like having your toes in the sand during dinner. We booked half board meals throughout our stay n every meal was so delicious n good. The restaurant staff were friendly, attentive and cheerful lot. A special thanks to Ibbe, Putu and Dinda making our meal time enjoyable.! We will definitely tell our family n friends to visit Kuda Rah Resort and we will be back in the near future. Thank you for the Maldivian experience.

“family trip Croatia ---> Maldives”

We have to rate this incredible experience with the family. We stayed for 8 nights in a private villa with a pool and two large beds. There are a lot of people working there, so we didn't remember their names, I don't want to spell them wrong. Absolutely everyone on the island is very kind and helpful at all times. They take care of everything, so that you feel like a king. My youngest son enjoyed it like never before. They fulfilled all his food wishes. We tried everything we have never tried before. We went fishing after sunset. We relaxed in the spa, kayaked, snorkeled and tried all the other activities offered. We took an Indian cooking class, which is great for those who like to try new things. The guys who cleaned our room and made various animal shapes out of towels were very nice. Overall, I can only say nice things about our stay at NH Khuda Rah.
