This October, revamped experiences are coming to the shores of Maamigili Island in Raa Atoll. Under new ownership, the previuos Loama Resort Maldives has transformed into a 100-villa with brand new design, an immersive concept and a hyped-up rebrand – Cora Cora Maldives.
A 45-minute seaplane ride away from the gateway of Velana International Airport, the island overlooks the Indian Ocean with undisturbed natural beauty in the surrounding. Alternatively, guests can opt for a domestic flight followed by a 20-minute speedboat ride to the island as well.
For the first time in the Maldives, Cora Cora Island will showcase the premier licensed Art Gallery and Museum in the destination. Guests can explore over 400 incredible local artefacts in the museum’s collection, taking them through the rich Maldivian history and culture depicted by each piece.
