The Heritance Aarah Resort is an all-villa, premium all-inclusive resort. Simply delightful.
Villas and suites are scattered around this rather attractive, lush tropical island. The focus is on luxury but with a broad smile. Heritance Aarah Resort has an incredible range of activities, with most included within the price.
Heritance Aarah Resort is located within the Raa Atoll, about a 55-minute flight north from Male International Airport (daylight flights). You will either fly on a seaplane directly to the resort or to the small domestic airport and continue by 20-minute speedboat.
The Raa Atoll is known to be one of the most attractive in the Maldives, with especially good marine life. There are actually 88 islands or sandbars within the Raa Atoll, most of which are still uninhabited.
Heritance Aarah Resort has 150 individual villas and suites.
They are all spacious and combine contemporary features blended with Maldivian features.
You have a choice of:
- 51 Beach Villas or Beach Villas with a private pool
- 5 Family Beach Villas, with a couple having a private pool
- 56 Ocean Villas, which are over-water with steps down into the lagoon
- Finally, 26 prestigious Adult Only One Bedroom Ocean Suites, which are located on the beach with walkway access to the exclusive infinity pool
These suites also have their own restaurant and bar area within the resort.
- A host of land sports, including tennis and football pitch
- Equally extensive water sports offering both motorised and non-motorised
- An incredible selection of dining options with differing cuisines and locations—most of which are included with the premium all-inclusive arrangements. (This varies slightly. The higher grade the room purchased, the more you receive.)
- Essentially, all villa grades receive all meals with a choice of 3 restaurants for main meals and a variety of ice cream
- Branded alcohol and a tremendous variety of wine and spirits, as well as beers and soft drinks
- Choice of wine and soft drinks in mini bar
- Non-motorised water sports
- In and out on land sports and spa credit
- Free Excursions on group basis to nearby islands—varies depending on your length of stay, but for example, a 7-night stay will include 4 excursions
Heritance Aarah Resort is one of the top of the range Premium All-Inclusive Resorts. It is elegant and, of course, rather chic, but also comes with energy, vibrancy, and laughter.
Super facilities both on land & sea. Will appeal for romance—there are many quiet areas, families, and easy access reef snorkeling.#
Marie-Helene and Dominic from Chic stayed at the resort in spring 2025 and would be delighted to discuss the resort in detail.
The Heritance Group also has several hotels in neighboring Sri Lanka, its home base. These include Nuwara Eliya, Kandalama, Ahungalla, and Colombo. Destination combinations are easy to arrange and are attractive for those seeking scenic and cultural contrasts.

All price guides are Per Person Sharing Double Room (Entry level), based on travel between May and/or June when prices are generally at their lowest and include promotional offers. Supplements will probably apply at other times, particularly mid-summer in the Med, and for rooms and/or transfers arranged for single travellers.
For example, the Caribbean and Indian Ocean prices for winter can be approximately double the May - June level and about 50% more in Asia. For the Mediterranean & Canary Islands, Caribbean, Arabia and the Indian Ocean (except Sri Lanka) price guides generally include airfare and transfers.
*For Sri Lanka and Far East we show a per-person, per-night hotel guide, excluding air fare, as arrangements tend to be individually tailored multi-centre itineraries.
