Escape to Heritance Aarah, a premium 5 star resort resting on the white sands of Raa Atoll in the Maldives, just a breathtaking seaplane journey from Male. Both couples and families are well catered for with a selection of traditionally-inspired – yet still contemporary – villas, all of which come with direct access to the beach or turquoise lagoon: we love the entry level beachfront villas, which are among the largest in the Maldives. You’ll also enjoy the fully equipped gym, the sports and recreation centre offering ample activities and floodlit tennis courts, dive centre (this is the place for it!) and some irresistible pampering at the over-water spa. Unwind to the sound of live bands and piano music, and don’t miss the weekly traditional Maldivian drum show!
