Heritance Aarah

We stayed at Heritance Aarah last spring for our honeymoon. Absolutely the best hotel we've ever stayed in, and can only hope to go back one day! Everything was exceptional. ROOM: We stayed in a beach villa and it was perfect - a great size, very comfortable, mini-bar replaced daily. FOOD: A real highlight of the trip for us. So many different restaurants from buffets to a la carte and tasting menu only. Even the buffet restaurants were fantastic, with huge choice of really high-quality dishes. The cocktails were great and the champagne flowed freely. SERVICE: Fantastic. Our butler Tanny was so helpful. When she told us "Our restaurants were getting booked up so I took the liberty of booking dinner reservations each night, let me take you through the schedule for the week', we knew we were in safe hands. It's the little things, like swinging by the spa just as we were coming out of our spa treatments to check we'd enjoyed them. The other staff across the island were all great too. The whole island is BEAUTIFUL. It has a lively but relaxed atmosphere but it never felt too crowded. I still remember on our final lunch of the holiday, my husband and I sat and ate almost in silence because we both wanted to be fully present and absorb everything for the last time before going home. We hadn't been to the Maldives before so can't compare it with other resorts, and it was definitely the most expensive holiday we've had, but was totally worth it and we'd love to go back one day.

Friendly staff and super service. Good all inclusive package and great food. Felt alone even though the hotel was at 80 % capacity. We had no thoughts about leaving our kid at the kidsklubb, but she loved it so much she wanted to participate in all their fun and artistic activities - every day - giving us a break and a much more relaxing stay. Thank you Kunal for taking such good care of us, we will miss you and hope to see you again someday! - If we could ask for one upgrade for our next stay, we would love a bigger pool at the family beach villa ;-) - and if you have a late departure from Male, make sure to book a lounge at the TMA terminal. Male is not very nice and the lounge available before check in is dirty and overpriced. Marhaba!

We had a wonderful holiday in this luxorious well organised resort. The resort is designed with good taste. Ocean villa was beautiful, silent and cosy. Sitting on our villa terrace we could observe many kind of fishes, rays and even dolphins and a turtle. It was nice to snorkle in front of the villa. The reef border near the deep ocean was amazing to snorkle - there was a huge number of colorful fishes. All four restaurants were very good and one of them -Ambula- was excellent. Tokio street food restaurant and street food festival were extracharged, but they were worth of it. There was a lot of activities in the resort. Excursions to the see were very nice. Extra charge excursion to snorkle with Manta rays was unforgettable. We were snorkling with the guide middle in the ocean in the under water atoll with those huge and kind animals. There was also a possibility to visit a local island. It was very informative and interesting. The resort has a little village museum, where they are telling about the past life in Maldives. Staff was professional, very polite and helpful. Our personal butler Arka was fantastic. He reserved us table to the restaurants, all the excursions, send every morning message of the day’s schedules.
