The resort sits in peaceful Raa Atoll, in some of the most untouched waters in the Maldives. You arrive by seaplane and watch tiny islands scatter across the ocean below. On the island, palms frame a vast lagoon and long sweep of beach. You stroll along sandy paths, pause for sunset on the jetty and watch stars crowd the sky at night. The setting feels remote yet comfortable, with the sea always close.

Villas stretch along the beach and over the water, so you pick the mood you like. Beach Villas and Pool Beach Villas open straight onto the sand, with king beds, large bathrooms and private decks. Family Beach and Family Pool Beach Villas offer extra space and innovative layouts for those travelling with you. Overwater Ocean Villas sit above clear blue shallows, while Ocean Suites and the Ocean Residence in the Ocean Wing lift the sense of privacy.

Quiet or active time flows with ease here. You join sunrise or sunset cruises, watch dolphins arc beside the boat and share a lover's dhoni ride on calm water. The Maldivian Village experience at Divian Village brings island culture close through music, food and craft. On the island, you play tennis or paddle tennis, try yoga as the sun comes up, or linger over board games and live music as night falls.

Daily life on the island feels calm and well thought through. Premium All Inclusive covers meals, drinks and small touches that take care of the detail for you. Medi Spa sits above the lagoon with wide views and tailored care. Koka kids club brings bright spaces and creative play for younger ones. Veeru gym, the recreation centre, indoor games and a handful of island boutiques keep you sorted between pool time and the beach.

Dining at Heritance Aarah feels varied and relaxed. Ranba serves fresh spreads with ocean views, while Ralu brings laid back à la carte dishes through the day. Ginifati focuses on seafood under the stars and Pizza Shack keeps things light and fun. Ambula celebrates Sri Lankan and Maldivian flavours with real flair, and Hathaa plates street food from Tokyo and Bangkok. Bandi Bar, Sky Bar and Ralu Lounge Bar pour crafted drinks, with Falhu Bar and Baani in the Ocean Wing for a more refined edge.

Special moments sit very well at Heritance Aarah. The island gives a dreamy stage for weddings, vow renewals and milestone trips, framed by wide ocean and pale sand. You plan a ceremony on the beach, a toast at Falhu Bar, or a long dinner by lantern light. Medi Spa prepares you with calm, soothing care. Ocean Suites and the Ocean Residence suit honeymoon stays or small groups, so you mark the occasion in real style.
