Overall Ratings & Reviews RAAYA By Atmosphere with Free Transfers

Customer service

Oh my gosh, my stay was absolutely incredible! I can’t recommend it enough. Saif was our lifesaver! We were so stressed out about everything, but Saif took care of it all. We were kept in the loop about everything, and it was so much easier to relax and enjoy our time. The buffet was a bit of a mixed bag, but the themed restaurants were amazing! The Italian restaurant was my favourite, especially the prawn starter. It was to die for! The Far Eastern and Arab/North African restaurants were also great. The shuttle service was fantastic! It ran every 10-15 minutes, both clockwise and anti-clockwise, and there was an app that tracked your next shuttle. That was so convenient! The staff were all so friendly and helpful. They were always there to lend a hand or answer any questions we had. We even got a free 45-minute massage (head, neck, shoulders, and back) as a perk. And for an extra $30, we could get a full-body massage. Yum! We had a sunset cruise booked, but unfortunately, it was canceled because of the rough weather. But we didn’t mind. We had a great time anyway! Overall, it was an amazing experience. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a fun and relaxing getaway.

A really lovely resort for couple or with family. Plenty of dining option. Perfect place to relax. Lovely staff. Very welcoming and helping people. Had no issues with them at all. Full privacy in all villas. Gave us complimentary honeymoon package.

Most remarkable resort I’ve stayed at.

It was an amazing stay at Raaya. Staff were super friendly and caring. Thank you Shashika and Mithun for your kind support. We sincerely appreciate your hospitality. Koodos to the F&B manager Tyagi for his excellent team. His all day dining manager Mohan also very helpful and extremely responsive. Highly recommend this place to anyone.

The island is lovely great staff, it has a good selection of food and drinks. It is let down but the arrivals/departures. They do not tell you your flight times until the day of and we ended up waiting in the airport for 3 hours on arrival and a further 5 hours on departure. On arrival they do offer a lounge but on departure nothing is offered and you can't even check your bags as it's soo early so it's a long wait in a very loud airport.

Everything was perfect from the moment we landed at Valena international airport to the moment we left. The Villa, the Staff, the food, the view, the whole resort, the Team at Raaya certainly made it memorable ☺️

My husband and I absolutely enjoyed our stay at Raaya! The free transfers as well was a great perk. We were greeted at the airport in Male and were taken to where we were supposed to go for the seaplane transfer. The resort itself was gorgeous, everything about it was incredible, staff was super nice and helpful. We had Saif as our guide throughout our stay and he was great.

Absolutely spectacular, the whole experience was magical. Staff were brilliant, restaurants great, gym facilities good. I have nothing bad to say whatsoever, fantastic!

Loved every moment … amazing island and outstanding villas

We travelled to Raaya in Jan 2025 for our anniversary for 5 nights and our stay was amazing! The Raaya staff we always friendly, accommodating and wanting to help us. There is a selection of different food available and activities / excursions that can be arranged. A memorable and plansant stay and would definitely come again. Special thanks to Dana our island host who was always available to help and made our stay worry free. We had a smooth arrival and departure via seaplane. Thanks to Jahid for providing excellent house keeping, the friendly staff at the dive centre for our excursions and also staff at the restaurants Himashun, Chanchal, Suriya and Sharif for great shuttle service on the island. We had lovely sunny weather and were told there were some rainy days prior to arrival. We stayed in a water villa which was lovely and peaceful, regularly cleaned. We would definitely recommend this island of paradise and hope to return! Thank you.

From the moment we landed in the Maldives to the moment we left, we were treated to an exceptional service by Raaya staff. From the concierge at the resort through to the waiting staff at the restaurants, they treat you with an exceptional service and create a truly memorable experience.

Our stay was so memorable because of the wonderful resort amenities and top service by their amazing staff! Achala, our ever reliable and attentive personal concierge, arranged our itineraries; he coordinated dinners (my wife's birthday dinner was a 5-course meal with singing staff), excursions, gym and spa schedules, a surprise room decoration (by Jahid), and he also left my wife a handmade card! We're there only 4 days but Achala, the gym coach, spa ladies and Mary at Raaya Life are like long friends already. We'll surely come back. 😊

Amazing, excellent hotel, facilities, and staff!

Wonderful experience

Recommended

The resort was stunning, staff, service, food was outstanding. Everything about the island was well thought out and seem less. Ann amazing holiday and by far my favourite!

Truly an unforgettable experience from start to finish arriving in paradise via seaplane! The island, room and food were wonderful. Our trip was made extra special by all the amazing staff, the most attentive and personalised experience I’ve ever received and it wouldn’t have been the same without them. Lots of activities and areas to relax, we enjoyed snorkelling, a sunset cruise and our massage the most. We will be back!!

The 2 bedroom pool villa was awesome, staff were really friendly. Amazing sand and sea. Staff organised all of the transfers beforehand. Our host Zappe was always available for anything. Faultless 6 day experience!

The staff were the best we have ever encountered. So genuinely interested in your every need, very happy not stressed or bothered no matter what we needed just so happy to help. Lovely vibe, beautful high quality hotel. Could do with more bikes as not enough to go around and it was so fun cycling around the island. Amazing inclusive package, top masseuses my daughters had the best massages. Great cocktails lovely villas. Good value for money.
