The short answer
When Raa Atoll is at its best
Raa Atoll is the next-frontier Maldives — north of Baa, even quieter, with a small handful of new-generation luxury resorts (The St. Regis Maldives Vommuli, Joali, Joali Being) that have set new design and wellness benchmarks. Seaplane only, 45 minutes from MLE.
