We had a beautiful honeymoon at raaya. The staff were all so pleasant and helpful. Achala our guide couldn’t do enough for us. Mo and the juice man at breakfast really stood out to us as their service was incredible. Ampers and is amazing and the island is just beautiful. We will definitely be back.

We had an absolutely wonderful time in the Maldives. Our personal butler Achala arranged our itinerary well in advance and answered every question we had with genuine enthusiasm. For us, this was a truly special journey—no shopping stops, no must-see photo spots, just the quiet pleasure of waves and sand.
