Debuting in the Maldives in the summer of 2023, RAAYA by Atmosphere is a new addition to the dynamic Atmosphere Core group, which already boasts eight beloved resorts in the Maldives and plans to expand into India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, and Bhutan. Grounded in its 'Joy of Giving' philosophy of anticipating guests’ every need, Atmosphere Core resorts embody local spirit and celebrate each location's unique story through distinctive design, stunning natural settings, traditional hospitality rituals, and local cuisine.

The ultimate Maldivian escape at RAAYA by Atmosphere

Whether you’re a couple, friends, or a family, RAAYA by Atmosphere offers a castaway adventure blending indulgence and relaxation with immersive nature exploration and outdoor activities. Enjoy snorkelling, windsurfing, strolling along the mangrove walkway, or soaking in the stunning vistas from the watchtower viewpoint. Participate in yoga sessions on the beach or in the dedicated open-air pavilion surrounded by lush tropical forest, the perfect prelude to a treatment at the ELENA spa and wellness centre.

Some of RAAYA’s 167 beach and overwater villas, featuring uncluttered décor in soothing colours, come with private plunge pools. These include two-bedroom family beach villas, as well as the exclusive four-person retreats of the RAAYA Residences. The generous in-villa minibars are replenished daily with a selection of wines, beers, soft drinks, and snacks.

You’re spoiled for choice when it comes to dining, with the opportunity to sample a new venue every day. Among them, RAAYA Life offers limitless buffets featuring Asian, European, Arabic, and Maldivian cuisines. Seb’s Shack, a rustic beachside eatery named after a fictional adventurer and artist said to have washed up on the island, provides light eats and a laid-back surfer vibe. Poolside Mizaj serves Middle Eastern fine dining, while Ampersand, with its beachfront cabanas and rooftop bar, is the place for pan-Asian delights complemented by handcrafted cocktails.

You can also indulge in private bespoke dining experiences all over the island, while young guests adore the roaming bus dispensing ice creams, drinks, and snacks. Kids also love the complimentary Discovery Den club, which offers supervised arts and crafts, nature explorations, zip-lining, and trampolining. Additionally, there are weekly guided adventures in search of the legendary Seb.

The relaxation begins as soon as you arrive in the Maldives. The RAAYA team will escort you from Velana International Airport to their complimentary lounge in the Noovilu Seaplane Terminal. Here, you can freshen up, enjoy drinks and snacks, and use the Wi-Fi (kids have their own playroom) before your thrilling 45-minute seaplane journey to RAAYA. Upon arrival at the resort, you’ll be greeted by boduberu drummers on the island jetty and offered a flute of chilled champagne in the arrivals lounge.

All of this is included in the exclusive RAAYA Plan, which encompasses global cuisine at breakfast, lunch, and dinner, premium drinks including unlimited cocktails, mocktails, and signature drinks. The plan also includes spa and wellness therapies (one 45-minute treatment per 4- to 7-night stay, two per 8- to 11-night stay, and three per 12- to 15-night stay), aquatic experiences, and curated artistic interludes.

In addition to complimentary snorkelling gear throughout your holiday and one snorkelling excursion daily to nearby sites, you can enjoy (per person per stay) one traditional sunset fishing excursion, one sunset cruise, one complimentary guided mangrove discovery walk, and a wooden dhoni-building workshop at the Artists’ Zone. You also get unlimited use of the Outdoor Activity Zone, which features mini golf, Padel tennis, a football ground, beach volleyball, and a skate-park circuit.

Experience boutique beachfront living in Mexico

14 August 2026

For those who like their Caribbean escape with a little more character, The Fives Oceanfront offers boutique luxury right on the beachfront in Puerto Morelos. This former fishing village has kept a noticeably slower pace than some of the Riviera Maya’s larger resorts, with local restaurants, small shops, and the town’s leaning lighthouse all within easy reach. Back at the hotel, the atmosphere is equally laid-back, with contemporary design, plenty of space to switch off, and the Caribbean Sea taking centre stage.

Experience the adventurous side of Turks and Caicos

14 August 2026

This corner of the Caribbean has all the ingredients for an easy Caribbean escape, from the powder-soft sands of Grace Bay to brilliantly clear water made for long afternoons by the sea. But spend a little more time here, and there’s another side to the islands worth exploring. You can kayak through mangroves, snorkel over coral reefs, venture across to North and Middle Caicos, and seek out local food and music back on Providenciales. Better still, these experiences can easily sit alongside slower beach days, giving you a holiday that feels adventurous without needing to be action-packed from morning to night.

Discover the Dolomites, Italy's ultimate mountain escape

14 August 2026

There is another side to Italy beyond its famous cities, coastlines, and lakes. In the north of the country, the Dolomites rise dramatically above alpine meadows, forested valleys, and villages where Italian, Austrian, and Ladin influences come together. Recognised by UNESCO for their exceptional natural beauty and geology, these mountains are made for anyone wanting to spend their days outdoors without giving up the things Italy does so well: beautiful places to stay, long lunches, and excellent wine. Whether you're an experienced hiker or simply like the idea of cable-car rides, gentle walks, and lunch in a mountain hut, here's how to experience the Dolomites your way.
