Atmosphere Hotels & Resorts has announced the launch of RAAYA, its ninth resort in the Maldives and the international hospitality company’s third property in the archipelago under the Atmosphere Hotels & Resorts brand. RAAYA by Atmosphere joins the ranks of award-winning Maldivian sister resorts ‘Atmosphere Kanifushi’ and ‘VARU by Atmosphere’.

A natural sanctuary almost completely dedicated to lush greenery, pristine white beaches, and a tropical forest canopy abundant with wildlife, leaves only a fraction of the island for living space, a testament to RAAYA by Atmosphere’s relationship with its ecological harmony and connection with Mother Nature herself.

Discussing the launch and island concept, General Manager Philippe Claverotte explains, “At RAAYA by Atmosphere, there is a guest experience like no other, a balance of escapism and energy. Our island is deeply rooted in personal expression and we intend to create moments of happiness in all corners. Whether you are a romantic couple seeking peace and serenity, or maybe a Robinson Crusoe castaway family seeking adventure, every aspect of our guest experience is designed to cater for all”.

RAAYA by Atmosphere features 167 beach and ocean villas, and six varied dining choices infusing local tradition and global cuisine. Along with one of the most stunningly serene beaches, the island is a playground of adventure, offering water sports, diving, futsal, a kids club, a skate circuit, an art and craft studio, the peaceful journey of a mangrove walkway, a playful mini-golf course, stargazing watchtower, and a signature brand ELE|NA spa immersed in the quietude of nature.

Guests are invited to a memorable castaway island balancing escapism and energy, activities for all lifestyles and ages, and every experience enriched by the vibrant heritage of the local Maldivian culture.
