Why We Love This Deal
Travelzoo members can be among the first to stay at the Maldives' newest luxury resort, which opened on the stunning Raa Atoll in August 2023. This jaw-dropping location is known for its pristine beaches and abundant marine life, which are reasons enough to add it to your must-visit list. But Amari Raaya brings a whole lot more to the table (literally). With its own garden on site, the resort has already earned excellent reviews for sumptuous cuisine made from ultra-fresh and locally grown ingredients. What's more: the unique all-inclusive program means guests can choose from multiple restaurants each day.
Two guests can spend 5 nights in a private villa (with ocean views) from just $1500 per person with this special opening offer that includes meals, drinks, taxes, service fees and activities, like yoga, a sunset cruise and more.
