The resort sits tucked away in the remote Raa Atoll, at the edge of a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, and now invites guests to book the entire island for themselves.

A Private Island, All to Yourself
This opportunity goes beyond a typical island stay. Guests who choose the exclusive island buyout can take full control of their time at InterContinental Maldives. From customized activities to tailored dining and curated wellness experiences, every moment centers around their preferences.
The resort lies within a protected manta ray sanctuary in the Raa Atoll and provides access to one of the Maldives’ richest marine ecosystems. Guests encounter vibrant coral reefs, blacktip reef sharks, sea turtles, and from December to April, graceful manta rays during their seasonal migration. The resort’s resident Manta Trust marine biologists guide snorkeling and diving excursions, offering personalized, up-close interactions with these ocean giants in their natural environment.
Smooth Sailing from Arrival to Departure
The InterContinental team ensures a seamless experience from the moment guests land in Malé. A dedicated airport representative greets arrivals and escorts them to the resort’s private seaplane lounge for a scenic journey to the island. For large groups, personalized concierge services manage luggage, check-ins, and welcome experiences.
The island buyout includes:
- Daily gourmet breakfast
