A place to stay on Raa
InterContinental Maldives Maamunagau Resort sits on its own island in Raa Atoll, reached by a domestic flight and then a speedboat from Malé. The property has ten villa and residence categories, all with private pools, arranged either over the lagoon or along the beachfront. Five restaurants cover breakfast formats from continental to halal and vegan, and a spa, fitness centre, and kids' club mean there is enough on the island to fill several days without leaving. The house reef is directly accessible for snorkelling and diving.
The honest verdict
A remote, full-service island resort with a long transfer time offset by a house reef, five dining options, and well-equipped villas across every budget level above USD 1,000 per night.
Best for
- Couples wanting overwater or beachfront pool villas
- Families using the kids' club and stay-eat-free packages
- Divers and snorkellers with direct house reef access
- Groups booking multi-bedroom residences
Maybe not ideal for
- Travellers on a tight budget
- Those wanting a short or simple transfer
- Guests who prefer urban or multi-island exploration
What a stay costs
Indicative room-only estimate from the lowest nightly rate — excludes airport transfers, taxes and seasonal price changes. Many Maldives properties also require a minimum stay. Check live rates for your dates.
House reef for diving and snorkelling
The reef runs directly off the island, so there is no boat required to reach it. The resort runs both snorkelling and diving programmes on site, along with windsurfing and other water sport facilities. Bicycle rental is available for getting around the island.
Five restaurants, broad dietary coverage
Dining spans five restaurants with breakfast options including continental, full English, Asian, American, and buffet formats. The kitchen accommodates vegetarian, vegan, halal, and gluten-free requirements. Themed dinner nights and happy hour run regularly.
Spa and fitness on the island
The spa and wellness centre handles treatments on site. A separate fitness centre is available for guests who want to keep a routine going. Both sit within the main resort footprint, so there is no need to travel off-island.
Kids' club with free stay and dining
Most villa categories include a kids-stay-play-and-eat-free package. The resort has a dedicated kids' club and family rooms, making it one of the more practical options in the Maldives for travelling with children at this price tier.
Private pools across all categories
Every room type in the property, from the entry-level 100 m² overwater villa to the 999 m² Royal Beachfront Residence, comes with a private pool. Sea views are standard throughout.

Getting there
