About the island

NH Kuda Ra is located in Ari Atoll and can be reached from Male by a 25-minute seaplane or by domestic flight followed by a 15-minute speedboat ride. The island has only 51 rooms in total, including 15 water villas and 36 beach villas. All rooms on the island have private pools and also Jacuzzis; both hardware and software facilities are decent, and the rooms also have Bose sound systems. The island has 2 restaurants and 1 bar, and meal plans are very flexible, from breakfast only (BB) to all-inclusive (AI), all freely selectable. Overall, value for money here is good; if you do not mind the breakwater, like quiet, and want an island with few people, this is a good choice.

Why stay here

After several openings and renamings, it is now a niche hotel, and overall value for money is still good; because there are few rooms, there are few people and it is quiet.

Highlights

All rooms have private pools and also Jacuzzis; both hardware and software facilities are decent; toiletries are Bulgari, bedding is Italy's Frette, and the sound system is also Bose; meal plans are flexible, from breakfast to all-inclusive, which is very hassle-free.

Before you go

The hotel is located over a very small lagoon; snorkeling and the beach are both average; the water villas are at the edge of the beach and strictly speaking are semi-beach, semi-water, not independent in the sea; there is a ring of breakwater here.
