About the Hotel
Unwind in peaceful seclusion with awe-inspiring views at this all-pool-villa sanctuary. This 11.2 hectare private island retreat lies at the northern edge of the Maldives in Raa Atoll, accessible via a scenic 45-minute seaplane journey from Malé. Lush vegetation, turquoise waters and abundant marine life set the scene for a relaxing stay interspersed with adventure. Alila Kothaifaru Maldives offers serenity and discovery in an awe-inspiring destination embraced by nature’s wonders. Remote and unspoilt with an air of tranquil seclusion, the picturesque Raa Atoll is one of the deeper atolls in the Maldives archipelago, offering abundant snorkelling and diving options to explore its incredibly rich and diverse underwater world. Beyond swimming in the stunning house reef, enjoy excursions to the famous Hanifaru Bay UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve. This protected marine sanctuary is the largest feeding and breeding hotspot in the world for manta rays and whale sharks, which at times congregate here in their hundreds.

Reviews for Alila Kothaifaru Maldives
Exceeds the hype
My wife and I stayed for six days and we were blown away by the dedication to service of every single person on the island. Alla was our concierge/host for the week. He was amazing. He anticipated our every need and was incredibly helpful, especially on arrival and departure. There was all types of food and something for everyone. It was all very tasty. The villa on the beach was cozy and very comfortable. It was very private and we did not have any trouble with noise (except for the bird outside the window at all hours of the night). The mosquitoes were not as bad as I anticipated. The island is fogged once a day. There are mosquito traps in the room and there is mosquito spray provided in the room which all helped. Because you are near the equator, the sun can burn you in a short period of time. Bring a minimum of 50spf but really, I would encourage 70-100spf. We loved it here and can’t wait to make the long trek back! Thank you for a restful and wonderful trip!!!

Made the right choice for staying at Alila.
Alila was a great place to visit. There are so many options to visit within the Maldives and I am very happy that I made the right choice. Alila offered all the amenities and more that I look for a place to stay. The views were amazing. You get a person assigned to you if you need to go a restaurant or to any place within the island.

Relaxation @ Alila
Had a wonderful and relaxing time at Alila. The entire seaplane transfer process between Male and resort was smooth and well organized and one of the highlights. Staff are super friendly, and service is excellent in all areas. Would have liked to try the Italian restaurant for dinner but it was opened only for lunch. Activities are somewhat limited, but our goal was relaxation so that was perfect. Really enjoyed the free 5 minute massage everyday.

The Best I've Ever Seen
Alila Maldives was STUNNING. The resort, atmosphere, staff, food and villas were all exceptional. Despite being a 34 hour travel day, I'll be back.
