Heritance Aarah in Raa Atoll has won gold for Leading All-Inclusive Hotel/Resort at the South Asian Travel Awards 2026, for its Premium All-Inclusive offering.
Heritance Aarah has taken gold in the Leading All-Inclusive Hotel/Resort category at the South Asian Travel Awards (SATA) 2026. The award recognises the resort's Premium All-Inclusive plan, which covers most of what guests eat, drink and do on the island.
What the plan covers
The resort has seven restaurants and five bars. Highlights include Ambula, which mixes Sri Lankan and Maldivian cooking; Ralu Lounge, with one of the largest rum collections in the Maldives; Fehi Raha, a new garden-to-table restaurant in the resort's organic garden; and an ice cream truck for families. Snorkelling, diving and boat trips around Raa Atoll, the IASO Medi Spa and a Maldivian cultural village round things out.
Who it suits
The main island is set up for couples, families and multigenerational groups. The Ocean Suite wing is adults-only, with overwater suites, butler service and its own dining.
For guests
If you want a stay where you don't have to think about the bill, Heritance Aarah is one of the strongest all-inclusive choices in the Maldives. It is about 40 minutes from Malé by seaplane. Read how Maldives meal plans work, or ask us for a quote.
