Imagine a getaway at an all-pool villa resort that provides a refreshing blend of serenity and exploration in a relatively untouched corner of the archipelago known for its abundant marine life. It’s what all dream vacations are made of at Alila Kothaifaru, one of the newest additions to open this year at the paradise on Earth.
Located in the most northern part of Maldives, the island getaway in the midst of Raa Atoll can be reached via a scenic 45-minute journey via seaplane from the Velana International Airport. Raa Atoll provides numerous snorkeling and diving opportunities to explore its diverse marine life, which includes everything from colorful corals to manta rays and sharks.
The resort is close to the famous Hanifaru Bay UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve and one of the best places to witness the spectacular 'Sea of Stars' phenomenon. Alila Kothaifaru Maldives has white-sand beaches that overlook an endless expanse of ocean blue, a stunning house reef, and lush greenery.
This gorgeous sanctuary was officially opened at an intimate opening ceremony held with key business partners in presence. The Chief Executive Officer of Orca Holding, Laith Pharaon, hosted the event, which was attended by the Minister of Tourism, Maldives, Dr. Abdulla Mausoom. Laith Pharaon expressed gratitude to all key business partners, the Maldivian government, and all hotel team members for their unwavering support in bringing Alila Kothaifaru Maldives to life.
“As countries continue to open up and travel confidence grows, we look forward to welcoming guests from all over the world to Alila Kothaifaru Maldives for a memorable getaway in what we hope will become the centerpiece of Raa Atoll,” expressing his enthusiasm, David Udell, Group President, Asia-Pacific, Hyatt stated. “We are delighted to add this beautiful resort in the Maldives to our growing Alila portfolio, with new Alila hotels opening in sought-after destinations such as Suzhou and Shanghai in China and Nha Trang in Vietnam in the future.”
