About Raa Atoll
Raa Atoll sits in the northern Maldives and is home to some of the most distinctive resort concepts in the archipelago. JOALI Maldives and JOALI BEING — the world's first art-immersive luxury resort and the Maldives' first dedicated wellbeing island — are both located here. The atoll's relatively remote location means its coral reefs are among the least disturbed in the Maldives, supporting exceptional marine biodiversity. InterContinental Maldives, Heritance Aarah, Alila Kothaifaru, and several other notable properties round out the atoll's resort offering.
