Royal Island Resort Maldives - An all-inclusive beachfront resort in Baa Atoll with private villas, wellness sanctuary, and marine excursions
Royal Island Resort Maldives occupies a secluded location in Baa Atoll, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, featuring 152 beachfront villas with private pools, open-air showers, and direct beach access. The 5-star resort includes the Araamu Spa, offering Ayurvedic treatments such as tension-relieving head and shoulder massages. Two onsite restaurants serve South Asian-influenced cuisine, including flame-grilled seafood at Raabondhi, while Boli Bar provides live music and coconut-infused cocktails. Water sports include diving at coral-rich sites frequented by manta rays (May-December) and jet skiing, while futsal and tennis courts cater to land activities. A continental breakfast is available each morning at Royal Island Resort Maldives. The property is a 15-minute speedboat ride from Dharavandhoo Island Airport, which connects via a 20-minute domestic flight from Malé.
Pros
The Two-Bedroom Family Beach Villa spans 100 m², accommodating up to six guests with direct beach access.
The resort operates an award-winning dive center (diveOceanus) with PADI-certified courses, including Discovery Scuba Diving and Advanced Open Water.
The all-inclusive package covers three daily buffet meals, beverages, and select water sports.
Araamu Spa features treatments like bamboo fusion massage and herbal vitality baths in a jungle-surrounded setting.
Cons
Pre-booking for fishing excursions is required during the November-May high season.
The resort's remote atoll location limits off-property exploration without boat transfers.
