7.88KViews

As temperatures rise across the Gulf, a quieter rhythm awaits across the sea. Just a few hours flight from the GCC, Heritance Aarah, tucked in the pristine Raa Atoll, offers something more than a picture-perfect escape. It offers exhale.

From the moment the seaplane lifts off from Malé, the journey becomes part of the experience – ocean below, time softening. This isn’t just a holiday; it’s the beginning of stillness.

A New Standard of “Premium All-Inclusive”

At Heritance Aarah, “premium all-inclusive” means just that – no second-guessing, no fine print. Every detail, from à la carte dining and signature cocktails, to curated excursions, non-motorised water sports, and a fully stocked in-villa minibar, is seamlessly included.

If you’re looking to elevate your experience even further, we offer unforgettable moments like sunrise and sunset cruises, floating breakfasts with a choice of eight menus, dolphin-watching excursions, a high tea experience on a sandbank, private dinners on the beach and barbecues on the deck, as well as private cookery and mocktail classes. Whether it’s indulging in curated experiences or simply unwinding by your private plunge pool, you can make your stay truly exceptional at Heritance Aarah.

Flavours That Tell A Story

Dining isn’t just part of the stay – it’s at the heart of the experience.

Ambula delivers an unforgettable journey through fiery Sri Lankan spices and earthy Maldivian flavours, artfully plated and deeply rooted in heritage. At Ranba, the energy is vibrant and ever-changing, live stations and bold Asian dishes come together in a setting that feels both generous and grounded.

Whether its seafood kissed by flame at Ginifati, Mediterranean and French classics reimagined at Ralu, or the quiet sophistication of Baani reserved for guests of the Ocean Suites, every restaurant invites you to slow down, savour, and truly taste the island’s cultural richness.

Adults-Only Ocean Suites for Tranquility Seekers

Overwater living takes on a more serene tone at the adults-only Ocean Suites. With sweeping views, private decks, and direct access to the lagoon, these suites invite you to slow down and savour the quiet. Separate living spaces, personalised service, and exclusive access to a dedicated bar and restaurant allow for the kind of retreat where privacy isn’t a luxury, but a given.

Every Ocean Suite features its own private deck, a serene plunge pool, and an iconic Maldivian swing – designed for your ultimate comfort and relaxation.

Reclaiming Wellness, the Island Way

At Heritance Aarah’s IASO Spa, wellness is elevated through a rich blend of ancient traditions and modern science. Guests can enjoy Tai Chi on the beach or yoga in serene overwater pavilions, then explore deeper therapies like Reiki (energy healing through gentle touch), Shirodhara (a calming Ayurvedic oil-flow treatment), and Tibetan Kunye healing (a traditional massage using herbal oils and pressure-point techniques).

Each stay includes a complimentary Smart 3D Skin Analysis and a 30-minute wellness consultation, offering insights into skin health and personalized care. The spa also features facial therapies such as the Holistic Face Lift, Depigmentation, and Anti-Aging treatments, alongside personal grooming services like hairstyling, makeup, and mehndi.

Each moment at Heritance Aarah’s spa is crafted to help you reconnect and restore harmony between body, mind, and breath.

Adventures Beyond the Shore

At Heritance Aarah, the island is your playground. Glide across turquoise waters with kite surfing, guided by expert instructors, or explore vibrant coral reefs through snorkelling excursions to nearby Manta Points and turtle quests. For a cultural immersion, the Maldivian Village offers a journey into the archipelago’s heritage. Whether sailing on a catamaran, diving into the depths with the PADI-certified centre, or indulging in a sunset photo cruise, every experience is thoughtfully curated to connect you with the spirit of the Maldives.
