InterContinental Maldives Maamunagau Resort, Raa Atoll

Set in a pocket of paradise, InterContinental Maldives Maamunagau Resort is where silky white sand merges into the luminous turquoise lagoon. Inspired by classic Maldivian luxury, 81 impeccable villas and hundreds more palms scatter across the island. The resort perfectly caters for families and there’s a world of entertainment to enjoy at the nautical-themed ‘Planet Trekkers’ kids club. But it’s not just the little ones who get to have all the fun; The Retreat is an exclusive adults-only area, featuring a pop up floating champagne bar in the lagoon. With barefoot luxury as the central focus, it’s time to ditch the tie, grab a mojito and lose yourself in the moment.

LOCATION

Reefs teeming with diverse marine life are moments away from your doorstep thanks to InterContinental Maldives’ unbeatable setting on Maamunagau island in the spectacular Raa Atoll. Once reaching Male Airport, refresh at the exclusive InterContinental Lounge before a quick 35-minute seaplane journey to the resort, giving you a breathtaking scenic experience of the remarkable colours surrounding this collection of islands.

YOUR ROOM

InterContinental Maldives boasts 81 light and spacious villas with tasteful Maldivian designs. Each range from one to four bedrooms, presenting sensational views of the landscapes. Whether you’re relaxing in the bathtub or soaking up the vitamin D from the deck, the views are quite simply irresistible. Reconnect with nature as you step out each day onto the soft sand or splash straight into the water depending upon your choice of Beach, Lagoon or Over-water villa. For families and groups, a selection of larger villas can allow you to experience both.

WHY WE LIKE IT

A  unique feature of the resort is the Lighthouse. Towering boldly, it hosts memorable dining experiences, sunrise yoga classes and presents great views of the island from above. Unwind with a sunset cruise, watch movies under the stars and savour the fresh catch of the day at Fish Market, in what adds up to an irresistible getaway.

SUSTAINABILITY

InterContinental Maldives has partnered with The Manta Trust to support the research and protection of the manta ray population through creating safe habitats and educating tourists on how they can help our oceans. As part of the collaboration, spend a morning visiting Hanifaru Bay where you can swim alongside the manta rays at the open sanctuary. With the help of a passionate marine expert, you’ll learn more about these gentle creatures and what part they play in our oceans. If you’re lucky, you might spot dolphins or a whale shark too.
