If you are seeking a castaway adventure for the whole family while immersing yourself in tropical island luxury and comfort, then look no further than the exquisite RAAYA by Atmosphere. Lost among the vibrant turquoise waves of the Raa Atoll, the natural private island invites you and your family to discover powdery-white beaches, lush forests and the inspiring tale of Seb, an explorer who was shipwrecked but found rejuvenation on the island, chronicling his adventurers through art.
Begin your journey to relaxation in one of the 167 beautifully appointed villas that pepper the island. Interiors are all about minimalist, paired back luxury with everything that you need at your fingertips. Stay in a Beach Villa and you will be rewarded with a private abode, wrapped in verdant foliage and premium seaside views. Only seconds from the serene lagoon, these villas are indoor/outdoor living at its best. If you prefer the sounds of the ocean gently lapping up against your villa, choose RAAYA’s Water Villas. Inspired by the charm of castaway ships, these tranquil sanctuaries come replete with a private overwater deck, overwater hammock, private pool or a garden with sun loungers.
Elevate your holiday experience by hanging your hat at the gorgeous Two-Bedroom Family Beach Villa. Spread out over 142 square metres, the villa features two interconnected bedrooms with plush king size beds. Interiors are all about vivid tropical accents with the outdoor space including a hammock. Or why not upgrade your holiday with the addition of a large private plunge pool and beachfront cabanas, where you can unwind underneath the Maldivian sun?
The pièce de résistance is the majestic RAAYA Residence. Sprawling out over a massive 849 square metres, this exclusive retreat comes with two expansive master bedrooms, a huge private infinity pool, ocean-facing outdoor deck, an indoor pantry and a bar. There’s even outdoor beach dining and spa pavilions for when you wish to luxuriate underneath the sun and of course, your own private stretch of soft sandy beach to round off the opulence.
When stomachs murmur, there are a plethora of restaurants and bars from which to choose. At Seb’s Farm, you can savour farm-to-table freshness with a selection of homegrown vegetables and catch of the day or delve into the tastes of the Italian coast at The Village. Cravings for Middle Eastern cuisine can be sated at MIZAJ with Pan-Asian delights served up at AMPERS&ND. Or if you prefer, pull up a chair at the rustic beachside setting of Seb’s Shack and treat yourself to iced drinks, smoothies and scrumptious light bites. And with the RAAYA Plan, you can indulge as much or as little as you like.
A trip to RAAYA by Atmosphere wouldn’t be complete without a pulse-pounding activity. A playground for all ages, dive into a host of water sports including snorkelling, kayaking, jet skiing and paddleboarding before returning to dry land and showcasing your skills on the skating circuit and padel and futsal courts. You can also swing by the mini-golf course for a round or let the creative juices flow at the arts and crafts studio. For little ones, the mega-sized kids’ club keeps children entertained with an array of fun and educational activities. However, if you wish to live in the slow lane, enjoy a spot of traditional sunset fishing or a blissful signature treatment at the ethereal ELE|NA Ayur spa. Your epic island adventure awaits at RAAYA by Atmosphere.
