Beach Hotels in Raa Atoll

We chose the Maldives for our 10th wedding anniversary trip. Among the numerous hotels and resorts in Maldives, our choice was the standard huruvalhi. This is because for us, The Standard has always been full of pleasant and enjoyable times. Beautiful natural environment, emerald lagoon, colorful corals and fish, blazing sun, hot but not humid air, blowing breeze, appropriate lounge music, sensible interior design and furniture arrangement, The Standard’s unique mood, friendly staff smiles and Even the greetings, our 3rd The Standard was fantastic. Although this place is located in a place where you have to take a seaplane, all procedures from Male Airport to hotel check-in are carried out under the guidance of staff. The seaplane fare is reasonable, and if you trust the guide, you will arrive at the hotel before you know it. No hassle at all. We arrived early in the morning, but were quickly assigned a room thanks to the friendly staff. I would like to say thank you to Eva (Korean) who was in charge of us. I was especially grateful for the attention to detail that made it possible for me to have a hassle-free stay during my stay. Even though she was busy with work, her willingness to always smile brightly and kindly and tell us even one more thing to satisfy customers was impressive. I think she will be able to play an even bigger role as the Korean market expands in the future. We were on an all-inclusive meal plan, so we had fresh, delicious food and cocktails for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We mainly used kula for breakfast, todis for lunch, and enjoyed Beru, BBQ shak, guduguda, and romantic dinner course for dinner. Every meal and menu was impeccable and I was amazed at how fresh the ingredients were sourced from a small remote island in the Indian Ocean. Each restaurant had its own unique atmosphere and taste, and especially the mood at sunset will remain as a truly good memory.

Our 10th wedding anniversary trip in Furaveri was perfect. The nature framework of the hotel and the staff members made our stay wonderful. People like Monir in the restaurant, Modex in room service and Mr Kumar (among others) were always there to serve and advise us with a smile on their face. The villa, the pool and the outsides were always clean and well decorated further enhancing the natural beauty of the island. The food in the restaurant and all the services offered by the hotel were amazing. We hope returning soon with our family.

A beautiful island. Extremely well organised with large very clean accommodation. Great care is taken to ensure the beach and all other areas look immaculate. The staff are very enthusiastic and helpful. Food very good. The staff in the restaurants can’t do enough for you. The transfers to and from the international airport were well organised and trouble free. The seaplane trip was very enjoyable.

Everything went well. The location, the over water villa, the balcony pool. It was all amazing. The staff were so attentive and great to deal with. Our conceirge Kun was fantastic - when my wife hurt her ankle, they arrange the onsite doctor, got a buggy to transport us, and continued offering the buggy for following few days, when we needed it. They couldn't have been better!

We spent quite some time researching on where to stay for our honeymoon and had absolutely the most amazing time with Emerald Furaafushi! The resort is newly renovated and opened just a couple months ago so everything is new and in good condition. We stayed in both the beach villa with pool and water villa with pool and they were sooo nice for chilling privately. Food was high quality - I had the best wagyu burger at the Beach Grill and the seafood was so fresh and delicious (loved the wahoo tartare and confit, the grilled prawns and tuna..) at all the outlets! Mediterraneo was great and the buffet restaurant Aqua offered a good selection of delicious choices with different themes each night of the week. Eclipse bar was a nice overwater bar with sunset view! They had over 80 labels of alcohol available. Needless to say the scenery is amazing. We snorkelled around the house reef, took out a glass boat, did stand up paddling and kayak. The sea is so clear and turquoise! However I think the most amazing touch that made the experience so perfect was the staff there. Their hospitality and friendliness just blew us away. Every single person has been so kind, and apologies for not being able to name everyone. First off is our villa host, ELITE, who has been the most helpful, kindest and dedicated person taking care of our every whim and request since our arrival! He is always reachable and comes check on us physically at least 2-3 times a day - super sweet!! The rooms division manager Rao, of course, who welcomed us personally at check in as well and made sure we were well taken care of. The sommelier team Joseph, Bona, Tate and Kim made sure our glasses were always full and recommended great wines for us. The bar manager Pathum and the staff at the Sunset bar and Eclipse Bar such as Rocky, Channi, Sonu and Yandy make fantastic cocktails and even made me some special off menu ones!

Every single detail was marvelous

The room was kept very clean, being serviced twice a day. The pool belonging to the villa was fantastic and was kept very clean. The service in the restaurant was excellent, with a special mention to Musafir! The dive centre was well organised, as were the dives. The diving at the local reef is not the best though. The beaches around the resort are very nice and kept clean. There is a lot to do for children and they are very welcome everywhere in the resort.

Everything met our expectations. The Island itself is very beautiful, 80% of natural flora is preserved while building this resort, they have even a Jungle Walk, if you want to see how the island was when uninhabited. This is 100% barefoot island, I did not put my shoes on at all. The food is very tasty in all the restaurants and the choice is very huge. Villa was very clean and the bed was so comfortable. Haali, the sunset bar is a gem, The East bar and main pool are a must, with so comfortable seating and live music in the evenings. We enjoyed also fishing and the glass bottom boat, while you can grab the snorkeling equipment and snorkel just outside your villa in the lagoon to see plenty of fish there. Last but not least they have a fantastic application, where you can reserve the table in all dine around, which is not common to the most of resorts, restaurants. Fantastic resort, fantastic stay! :)

Great value for money, private beach in front of villa, kind and attentive staff, real all-inclusive with many drinks to choose from, no hidden costs.
