About the island
Alila Kothaifaru Maldives is located in Raa Atoll in the Maldives. From Male, it can be reached by a seaplane in about 45 minutes. It is very close to Hanifaru Bay, a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve. This is Alila's return after 11 years. In 2009, Alila first came to the Maldives as "Alila Hadahaa," but only two years after opening, the brand was handed over to Hyatt Hotels Corporation and became today's still highly praised "Park Hyatt Hadahaa." Today's Alila has also been acquired by the Hyatt group.
Why stay here
A famous brand under the Hyatt group. In Sanskrit, Alila means "surprise." Around the world, including in China, what it creates are secluded residences with low-key luxury, appropriately highlighting its fresh and natural brand positioning and guests' unforgettable experiences at Alila.
Highlights
First, there is an inherent advantage here: it was newly built on an uninhabited island, not created by land reclamation, and it already had a certain original greenery foundation. So even though it is newly opened, its snorkeling conditions and island vegetation conditions will not be too poor; second, the hotel rooms are all very large. The smallest beach villa is 202 square meters, and the smallest water villa is 125 square meters, and all come with private pools. The room type setup is also very simple, divided only into standard room types, sunrise room types, and sunset room types, so you can choose according to your own needs; third, for an international chain hotel of this level, you can completely not worry about the磨合 issues of a newly opened island, let alone poor service or poor dining. These most basic issues are completely fine, and this point has also been confirmed by many clients who have already been there.
Before you go
Because Alila is a small-to-medium-sized island, its entertainment activities are not many compared with larger islands, making it suitable for friends who like quiet vacations.
