Heritance Aarah (Premium All Inclusive)

The most beautiful resort we have ever stayed at. The attention to detail is second to none. It’s a true paradise. We stayed at a beach villa - just yards from the warm sea. So quiet and private. Housekeeping at this resort is outstanding! Our butler Nafiu was always available to us and responded to our requests very promptly and efficiently. He checked in with us frequently to make sure we had everything we needed. Thank you Nafiu. And finally - the food! Truly amazing - we loved all the restaurants and our sincere thanks goes to Madhava and all this wonderful chefs for their attention to flavour and variety. Just perfect.

One of the best places I’ve stayed in my whole life, it’s the best holiday you can get to experience from start to end. Our butler was Nafiu and he took care of us in the best possible way, available for you when ever you need anything! Would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a high end experience in the Maldives. 10/10. Thanks for everything Nafiu, will definitively come back!

It is impossible to know where to start in explaining what an incredible experience we had at Heritance Aarah. We came for 6 nights as part of a split trip for our Honeymoon and we will definitely be back! Room: We had the most beautiful room in a perfect location (Overwater Villa). The room had ample space for everything we needed and we loved the little glass window in the floor. There were multiple seating options in the room and outside and the terrace was huge! The mini bar is expansive and re-stocked everyday. I especially liked that small bottles of Spirits were included as I only really enjoy wine with dinner. The Daybed outside was so large for lounging on and we spent a few evenings outside on it just staring at the stars. The villas and terraces are arranged in such a way that they all feel very private and not overlooked at all. The rooms was always cleaned to a spotless standard and plenty of towels replaced for you as needed. Butler: I cannot say enough good things about our amazing Butler Jaube. We've never had a Butler before, and at first I wasn't sure what we'd really need but we were often messaging Jaube for a lift to different areas of the Island. Jaube was such a kind man, and always so quick to respond to any queries we had - I don't think we ever waited more than 8 minutes for a buggy! I don't know how he made everything seem so seamless in terms of luggage drop off / pick up / departure etc. A massive thank you to Jaube and we will definitely be requesting him when we return. Food & Dink: The food and drink was out of this world. For breakfast we went to the buffet which was extensive but I was always tempted by the array of lovely fresh fruit whilst my Hisband tended to opt for the Asian breakfast options. I loved the 'barefoot' style of the buffet and the seating on the beach. For lunch, we also mainly went to the buffet which was aboslubtly amazing, so many options to choose from and all of such a high quality - the fresh fish was amazing, as we're their soups of the day! For dinner, we ate twice at Ralu, twice and Ginafati, once at Ambula and once at the Buffet. Ambula is an experience not to be missed! It's definitely different, but we loved every single course and the story behind each. It is a beautifully crafted menu and well worth the time it takes, it's also a gorgeous setting. Ginafati offered 2 different set menus whilst we were there and both were so tasty. The Lobster Bisque Ravioli was a specific highlight. Ralu had a really extensive menu as well, and I liked that you could self serve some small appetiser bits from the small buffet area before your main meal. We opted for Steaks / Lamb at Ralue and were impressed with how perfectly they were cooked given we asked for Rare and Medium Rare. We didn't have one 'average' meal our entire holiday - everything was outstanding! There's also so much choice that even if you were here 2 weeks, if you mixed the buffet in, you wouldn't get bored of the food choices. The Wine, Spirits and Cocktail menus are so extensive you certainly will be spoilt for choice! All the cocktails are so freshly made with such precision and care, my favourite was a Mojito Mas which was filled with delicious fresh fruit. No overly sweet thick syrups here, just everything made with fresh ingredients which is so delicious. Pool: There was definitely no subed hogging here! And ample choice of seating and sunbeds round the pool and the perfect placement of the decking to hop in the pool or in the sea. Service round the pool was fantastic too, and we were never long without a drink! Activities & Excursions: I think it's brilliant that Heritance Aarah include 4 excursions (Sunrise Cruise, Sunset Cruise, Dolphin Cruise, Fishing) that you can participate in. We only did the Sunrise and Sunset Cruise as we simply ran out of time with everything else. The excursions are well worth doing and not overcrowded. Some beautiful photo opportunities on both cruises. We paid for the Manta Safari from the Diving Centre, absoloubtly so worth it and we were lucky to swim with around 12 of them for 45 minutes. My Husband went diving twice and said the Dive Centre staff were great, really personable and he had a great experience. We are avid snorkellers and the best way to reach the reef quickly is to walk along the Jetty out to the Dive Centre and climb down the steps into the harbour. There's so much to see, you won't be disappointed! If you decide to swim back to the beach from the reef just be cautious as it does get very shallow as you swim over the coral. And a final tip, don't skip the incredible art shop run by Shamin_hsznrm. He is the most wonderful person and so incredibly talented. He was so patient with me in the run upto our trip answering all my questions, and then when we arrived he took his time in helping guide us create our masterpieces! We thoroughly enjoyed our time making such a memorable and sentimental masterpiece. Overall, we will definitely return to Heritance. It was our first experience in the Maldives and I'm not sure anywhere else will be able to beat it!

Bliss, paradise, heaven. Get here if you can…….because you’re worth it ! I could wax lyrically about each and every aspect of the place like the staff, the accommodation, the food, the views, the serenity but why would I need to ? It’s all magical

Our stay at Heritance Aarah was absolutely incredible! From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the stunning surroundings and the exceptional quality of the food and drinks. Our ocean villa was a dream come true - spacious, beautifully designed, and offering breathtaking views. A special shoutout to our butler, Saurav who went above and beyond to ensure our every need was met with a smile. His attentive and personalized service truly made our stay unforgettable. We highly recommend Heritance Aarah!
