We had an absolutely unforgettable stay at Amari Raaya. Everyone went above and beyond to provide the most superb service. Upon arrival, the representative Zaha already waited for us at the jetty while we were approaching. Her proactive approach truly made a positive impression by assisting us with seaplane transfer and even contacting our next hotel for a smooth transition on the way back. The entire team at Amari did everything to create a memorable stay for us, from Buggy service Nalaka who could remember our names to Housekeeping Saain who made the room twice a day as well as did an amazing job on the bed decoration for my parents anniversary; from All Day Dining restaurant Mr.Himanshu and Mr. Haleem and their team to Ampers&nd’s Egptian staff who showed outstanding hospitality and attentive care.
The environment is extremely beautiful. We could even snorkel near our water villa. Food has a great variety especially a good combination of Asian cuisine and international gourmet food. We feel that the value received is on par with what we anticipated. Front Office Mr. Ali and his team’s dedication in ensuring our satisfaction is evident in each interaction, making us feel like valued guests and part of the community. Any enquiry is dealt with in a timely manner. I’d also love to express our sincere appreciation for the exceptional service provided by Mr Haleem, Mr. Himanshu, Julius, Adi from all day dining; Nalaka, Sajid, Thooif, and everyone from Buggy service for providing such convenient transportation which has made getting around so much easier under the sun; Amir, Kero from Ampers&nd Sunset Bar who are so genuinely kind and friendly; Our island host Achala who made reservations for us to ensure a hassle free vacation; and many other staff’s names we can’t recall.
Our experience at Amari surpassed our expectations thanks to its exemplary cleanliness, upscale decoration, and most importantly, outstanding hospitality. It was really touching to see everyone came to the seaplane platform and said goodbye. We highly recommend guests seeking a luxurious with attention to detail to consider Amari Raaya.
6 time returnee to the Maldives, i personally think Joali has the best balance of what we look for as a family. It is luxurious, it is manicured, it has infrastructure, the service is extraordinary but it’s not in your face. Quiet luxury at its best. What Joali has that other resorts don’t is the immaculate and very accessible beach. The beach is extraordinary. It is large, the water is calm, transparent, 30 degreees. The sand is powder soft and without coral pieces! Check before booking about the coral because some resorts have a almost dangerous entrance into the sea. Other resorts have had to build rock walls in front of the OW villas, Joali hasn’t. The best villas are the sunset OW starting from 58 upwards. These face the sand bank which children can very easy swim to unaccompanied. The staff are divine, they don’t feel subservient but rather very happy to have you there and very happy to meet all your requests. Children are adored and kept very busy with a huge array of activities. But it doesn’t feel like a resort over run with kids. After visiting the likes of Soneva, i would say Joali kids program is better suited to smaller children maybe primary school ages and below. But this is an island where you can allow the children to roam free as there is a huge staff to guest ratio so they will always be watched. I especially loved how the staff would without being asked come and play and set up games with the kids. This was brilliant. Perhaps they could build a tree top area or a bigger kids adventure style set up. Not necessarily needed but just feedback. Food is good, the festive celebrations are triumphant. There is so much good quality food it’s almost overwhelming. Eat the local flavors, speak to the chef the local lobsters cooked Maldivian style are delicious! The villas are large spacious and most importantly they run horizontally across the lagoon. That way you are only meters from the ocean at all times. The one bed OW easily fits two children in the living room. Excellent on all counts, it’s my favourite “all rounder” resort. Compliments to management and the staff you are very kind hearted people.
This is a true review that comes straight from my heart and is not 1% sponsored. Ifuru Resort is a 5-star luxury resort rated 100 out of 100 that I highly recommend. The facilities, underwater environment, restaurant, bar, friendliness of the staff, cleanliness, and beauty of the island were all excellent. There are no water villas, but the beach villa is very close to the beach. As soon as you enter the water, you can see colorful corals and giant clams, and the house reef is close and great. We snorkeled every day and had long free swims with turtles, eagle rays, and black tip sharks. It's like this even if you just go out in front of the beach villa instead of taking a paid excursion. First of all, Ifuru Resort, newly opened in 2023! Located in Raa Atoll, Maldives, we traveled by seaplane + speedboat.
Since it's a new resort, there aren't many reviews, so I was worried and decided to refer to the resort's official Instagram and YouTube introductions. Among Koreans, we seemed to be the first to visit. When I actually went there, it was a 5-star resort so great that I could give it 100 out of 100! Stylish and luxurious room conditions and facilities (even the hair dryer is Dyson), truly warm and friendly staff (I still really miss Ari, Rocky, angel, Juli, Nikki, Quineee, kuva, Rudy isuru, muni, RN Adhla) , Mode, a very kind female employee at the waterfront restaurant who always had her hair neatly braided (I suddenly can't remember her name), and Rochelle, a very kind and warm general manager, who remembered and looked after each and every resort customer, and cared for and loved the employees. We were impressed by the appearance, and the resort staff were very courteous and friendly, as if they were guests invited to their own home, and they did their best to take care of us. That's why we really want to go to Ifuru Resort again. I still look at videos and photos taken at Ifuru every day.

Absolutely amazing! I especially loved the karaoke night—my friends and I had such a blast singing and laughing all evening. The atmosphere on the island is so friendly and welcoming, and everyone, from guests to staff, made it feel like home. The reception team was incredibly caring and attentive, making sure we were always well looked after. A big thank you to July and Andrea for making our stay even more special and unforgettable! Can’t wait to come back and see everyone again! I already booked for next year!
The resort is truly stunning and impeccably maintained. Our room was fantastic—spacious, well-equipped with all the amenities, featuring an outdoor shower and a lovely terrace that led straight to the beach. Daily visits from our housekeeper and gardener kept everything pristine. The crystal-clear waters and breathtaking reef were unforgettable, with dolphins, turtles, and manta rays making the excursions extraordinary. We also thoroughly enjoyed the sunset cruises and fishing trips—they were both exciting and fun. The dining experience was a delight, with the talented culinary and service teams creating unforgettable moments. The bars added an extra touch of enjoyment to our stay. A special highlight was the extraordinary service provided by the butlers, who went above and beyond to assist with all our requests, ensuring every detail of our stay was perfect and stress-free. The resort was simply outstanding, and the staff went above and beyond with their politeness and willingness to assist in any way to make our holiday truly remarkable. Thank you, Heritance Aarah, for the incredible hospitality and unforgettable memories!
