Rhaa Resort Beach

Located in the middle of untouched nature on Lamu Atoll, not far from the equator, the resort is impeccably maintained and offers a serene atmosphere, along with direct access to the breathtaking natural beauty of the Maldives. It is a 4-star resort, and this is particularly evident in the quality of the food. We had a wonderful stay and I would highly recommend the hotel to anyone seeking a peaceful retreat. However, I would not recommend it as a honeymoon destination. Location & surroundings It takes approximately 1 hour by domestic flight from Male Airport, followed by a 45-minute speedboat ride to reach the resort. The surroundings are absolutely stunning! Rooms The rooms are clean, functional, and very spacious. We booked a Langoon villa and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Service The service is excellent! The staff at the hotel are always in a positive mood and extremely courteous. We would like to express our special thanks to our room service attendant, Surendra, and the bartender, Rana, who made our stay extra special with their good humor and pleasant conversations! 5 stars!!! Gastronomy Unfortunately, the food options are quite limited and there is a tendency for repetition. The cuisine can be described as predominantly local. While we were always served sufficient portions of fresh food, those with selective dietary preferences may not find it satisfying. Sport & entertainment - Massage - The massage was absolutely amazing! The therapists are highly skilled, friendly, and courteous. The value for money is excellent! - Diving - The diving center and both diving instructors are fantastic! Thank you for providing us with such a memorable experience!

The island is absolutely stunning and the staff, especially Indri, are always happy to assist you. The food is decent if you're creative, and the chef in the main dining area is willing to accommodate your preferences. The ocean view rooms are fantastic, with outdoor bathrooms, and the Aircon in the bedroom is very effective. The cleaners are also very regular and efficient at cleaning the sand from the rooms. The whole experience was very relaxing with stunning scenery. My only disappointment was the lack of jet ski hire, but the canoes were great for visiting small islands around it. A huge thanks to Maafu who did me a huge favor while out on the turtle excursion. Overall, I enjoyed my stay here and would recommend it for a relaxing break. Thank you very much to all at Raaha Resort.

When booking a trip like this, it's important to have a few things clear. However, the reviews and experiences on site indicate that this is apparently not the case. - When you fly to an island in the Indian Ocean, there is no way to drive to the nearest supermarket. This applies to both guests and the resort. As a result, the food selection is quite limited. In our situation, we ran out of CokeLight after 4/5 days, but the supply ship never arrived. You can either spend the rest of your vacation upset about it or choose to drink something else. The choice is yours. - It's quite surprising that people fly halfway around the world and then complain about the lack of fast food when they arrive. Most of these complaints come from a nation that doesn't have a significant food culture, apart from "fish fillet deep-fried in batter and thick deep-fried potato sticks." Unfortunately, the average number of guests corresponds to at least 3/4 of this nation. Consequently, there were constant complaints about the food, simply because the cuisine in the Maldives is mainly based on Indian, Sri Lankan, and Maldivian dishes. Eventually, the resort gave in and started serving delicious dishes like shepherd's pie, burgers, and pizza. However, everything had to be drowned in sauce. After a conversation with the kitchen staff, they explained that they had to give in due to the complaints and demand for fast food, mayo, and ketchup. We then mentioned that we didn't fly 27 hours for fast food, but to enjoy authentic, local cuisine. As a result, we were rewarded with absolutely delicious Indian cuisine. Additionally, the kitchen staff is also happy when they can prepare authentic dishes instead of just any fast food. - There were complaints about the rule that drinks and food should only be consumed in the bar/restaurant area. The reason for this is quite obvious and became evident in the evening: some people don't even manage to bring the glasses they took back to their room, leaving them wherever they drop. Of course, the staff cleans this up the following morning, but it shouldn't have to be done. The same goes for leftover food on the beach, which also attracts ants and other animals. It's not surprising to have ants on your doorstep when this happens, so complaining about it is unnecessary. - There isn't much to do on an island like this. You can swim, snorkel, dive,

We stayed at this in September 2023. It was beautiful, peaceful, and relaxing, with great snorkeling. The staff were excellent, very attentive, polite, and respectful. Our ocean view room was amazing, with a direct view of the Indian Ocean. We saw stingrays, eagle rays, and even swam with black tipped sharks. Vamshi and Kavinder were both fantastic, as were all the other staff members. The chefs were great, and the food was enjoyable. Nagendra from housekeeping was also wonderful, leaving special messages for our anniversary and birthday. Vamshi is going to make a great manager someday. Ricca, the General Manager, was a pleasure to meet. Overall, the staff made our holiday wonderful. The only downside was a disappointing trip to another island. Despite that, we would definitely visit again and highly recommend this resort. We're already missing the island. Will and Sharon Mullen from room 225.

We spent a week at Rahaa Resort in late July. Despite it being the rainy season in the Maldives, we were fortunate to have hot and sunny weather every day of our trip. The facilities at Rahaa are impeccably clean and modern. We thoroughly enjoyed the buffet food and found great pleasure in relaxing under the beach umbrellas and at the Ko Bar. Rahaa is an ideal destination for a peaceful getaway. The island is pristine and picturesque, offering numerous spots to unwind by the beach. During our stay, I had the opportunity to try diving for the first time with Rahaa. Initially, I was quite apprehensive and almost decided against it. However, the diving instructor, Mamdhooh, was absolutely amazing and helped me remain calm throughout the entire dive. I highly recommend it for beginners! Overall, our experience at Rahaa was exceptional, and we would definitely consider returning in the future. The staff members were incredibly friendly and accommodating, which added to the overall specialness of our stay. The rooms were incredibly spacious, and we particularly enjoyed our sea view and the small patio outside our room.
