InterContinental Maldives Maamunagau Resort RAA ATOLL, MALDIVES
Set on the southernmost tip of Raa Atoll, on the edge of a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve, InterContinental Maldives Maamunagau Resort offers an island sanctuary where barefoot luxury meets marine conservation. Surrounded by a large natural lagoon and a vibrant coral reef teeming with life, the resort is celebrated for its deep connection to the ocean and its pioneering manta ray research initiatives. This is the first and only all-Club
InterContinental resort, where guests enjoy indulgent, all-inclusive benefits paired with five-star Maldivian hospitality. With 81 luxurious beach, lagoon and overwater villas and residences, seven restaurants and bars and the tranquil AVI Spa, the resort combines the intimacy of a boutique hideaway with the facilities of a world- class destination. Wellness practitioner pop-ups, resident chefs and educational retreats create an ever-evolving calendar of experiences, while the festive programme, Atlantis: The Lost Kingdom, welcomes guest artists, wellness experts, children’s entertainers and chef Tom Aikens for a season
of celebration. Operating as a hub for manta ray research, the resort is deeply committed to marine conservation. From December to April, manta rays glide through the surrounding waters as they migrate between atolls during the northeast monsoon. Located just south of Hanifaru Bay — one of the few places on Earth where whale sharks gather to mate — the resort offers exceptional opportunities to snorkel alongside manta rays, turtles and even whale sharks. Every year, the resort hosts a Manta Retreat in collaboration with the Manta Trust, inviting guests to take part in expert-led workshops, guided snorkelling trips and hands-on conservation Participants can name and adopt a manta ray, learn about coral restoration and plankton ecology, and contribute to the resort’s coral-planting programme. These experiences reflect the resort’s mission to
nurture ocean advocacy and inspire mindful travel. With sustainable waste management, on-site recycling and ongoing scientific research, it offers travellers an unforgettable, purpose-driven escape — where elegance, discovery and conservation exist in perfect harmony.
