Situated on one of the largest natural islands in Raa Atoll, at 390,000 square metres (39 hectares), Amari Raaya has been sympathetically designed to limit the impact on the indigenous flora and fauna, with much of the lush forest reserved for guest enjoyment, including a natural mangrove with walking path, ideal for exploring. The local reef is also home to an abundance of ocean life including sea turtles and in the season the famous bioluminescent plankton.

Commenting on the opening, Mr. Yuthachai Charanachitta, Owner and CEO, ONYX Hospitality Group said: “We are delighted to be nearing completion of Amari Raaya Maldives. This island will have so much to offer, the scale of the resort is impressive, as is the natural beauty of the island. Together with our partner, Panchshil Realty, we eagerly anticipate sharing the resort with the world when it launches this summer.”
