LuxuryEscapes currently offers a marvelous deal for RAAYA by Atmosphere on the Maldive Islands. You can book a island villa for as little as €488 per night, when staying at least five nights. That is already a fairly decent price by itself, but the list of included amenities is staggering. Not only is the notoriously expensive transport for two persons already included, the deal also makes all meals and all beverages consumed at the property free of charge. The offer is 33% cheaper than the price on the hotel website.
The rate is available in September and October 2024, and between March and November 2025, with prices rising up to €600 per night in November and December 2024.
The price not only includes food and beverages, but also activities like a sunset cruise, spa treatment and a fishing excursion.
Regarding the cancellation policy: You can get your money back up to 7 days after booking the hotel. Then, up to 22 days before arrival, you can cancel and get 100% as LuxuryEscapes credit. Once that deadline has passed, it’s game over, and you’re stuck with the booking. But you’ll probably already have non-refundable flights by then anyway.
With this deal, you will have the Beach Villa with 61 square meters, located just a few meters from the beach, with in-room internet, air conditioning, a minibar, among other amenities. If you want to splurge a bit more, the resort offers overwater villas that will cost you €610 per night, and if you want it with a pool, the price goes up to €732 per night.
The Resort
RAAYA by Atmosphere is a luxurious 5-star resort in the picturesque Raa Atoll of the Maldives, offering an all-inclusive experience. Reopening on July 4, 2024, it features overwater villas and beachfront suites with private pools, six dining options, a lavish spa, and water sports. With beautiful beaches and vibrant marine life, RAAYA promises a blend of natural beauty and luxury.
Of course, you can also enjoy the island’s beaches, which you can access directly from your villa. If you want to explore the underwater marvels of the Maldives, you can get snorkeling equipment free of charge.
Previous guests have left outstanding reviews for the resort (e.g. 4.6/5 on Google or 4.5/5 on Tripadvisor). Guests rave about Raaya’s tranquil ambiance, chic design, diverse dining options, and luxurious spa. While the friendly and attentive staff consistently earn praise, some guests suggest further service refinements. The secluded location, a key feature for those seeking tranquility, requires caution due to shallow coral. Spacious, clean rooms are a definite highlight, but overall value divides opinion, with some guests finding certain extras overpriced.
Price Check
The best part of this deal is comparing the price offered by LuxuryEscapes to other vendors. As mentioned earlier, the deal comes at cost at €488 per night (at least €2,439 in total). When booking the same number of nights on the hotel’s website (with the same amenities) it prices out at US$3,940 (~€3,361) – without the transport.
Third party providers like booking.com charge €2,855 for the same room on the same dates. While you may save 10% with booking’s genius discount, the only positive is that you can cancel up to 14 days in advance. It still costs €500 more than on LuxuryEscapes.
If you’re thinking of heading to the Maldives, this deal is one of the best out there right now, even if it doesn’t come with a stay in those fancy water villas everyone talks about.
