Alila Kothaifaru Maldives
Alila Kothaifaru Maldives is located on the secluded Kothaifaru Island, part of the picturesque Raa Atoll. The Raa Atoll offers abundant snorkelling and diving options to explore its incredibly rich and diverse underwater world. The resort is accessible either by seaplane directly at the resort or by domestic flight to the nearest airport Ifuru (IFU) and speed boat journey to reach resort.
Roundtrip transfers are included in your package and should be arranged with the resort. Please ensure there’s a minimum of two hours between domestic and international flights. Your transfers to and from the island will be booked by the resort based on your international arrival/departure flight timings. You are required to share names of all guests, including children, as per passports and international flight details, at least 7 days prior to arrival in order to ensure a smooth and timely transfer.
Seaplanes are operational only during daylight hours (6.30am to 3.30pm) as per Maldivian aviation regulations and are subject to weather conditions and maintenance needs. Domestic flights are operated by Maldivian Airlines and operate during the day and night according to schedules and subject to weather conditions. In a situation where there is no connection available between international flights and seaplanes or domestic flights, guests will need to stay in Malé at their own cost and travel the next day, subject to available transportation.

The Hotel – Boutique five-star luxury in one of the Maldives’ most sought-after locations
When it comes to remote island sophistication, it doesn’t get better than Alila Kothaifaru Maldives, located within the picturesque Raa Atoll, and the first Alila property to open within the archipelago. This awe-inspiring, private island haven opened April 2022, making it one of the newest resorts in the Maldives. This ultra-stylish, contemporary oasis offers the hallmark of an Alila experience, with six exceptional eateries, the world-class Spa Alila, a glittering infinity pool, a state-of-the-art gym with Technogym equipment, a games room and library, dedicated yoga space and a water sports and dive centre to fulfil your adventurous side. The hotel prides itself on its commitment to reducing its environmental footprint with the use of energy and resource-efficient systems, while also promoting eco-friendly practices and supporting the local community.
If you can tear yourself away from your private pool villa, be sure to explore the diverse unwater world on your doorstep. Beyond swimming in the stunning house reef, enjoy easy access to the incredible Hanifaru Bay UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve. This protected marine sanctuary is the largest feeding and breeding hotspot in the world for manta rays and whale sharks, which at times congregate here in their hundreds. Alila Kothaifaru Maldives is also close to Vaadhoo Island, one of the best spots to witness the spectacular ‘Sea of Stars’ phenomenon where the ocean glows with electric-blue bioluminescence at certain times of the year.
