We had an incredible stay at Heritance Aarah, and we cannot thank the staff enough for making our honeymoon so special. First and foremost, a huge shoutout to Saurav, our butler, who was absolutely amazing. He went above and beyond to ensure our stay was seamless, helping us plan and make all the perfect reservations. His kindness and attention to detail truly made our experience unforgettable. We enjoyed a delightful dinner at Ralu restaurant, where Elina served us with such warmth and friendliness. She made our honeymoon dinner feel extra special! We later attended her coffee workshop, and the beautiful art she created with coffee was simply mesmerizing. At Ambula restaurant, Sapna served us with so much thoughtfulness and care. She ensured every detail was perfect, and her kind demeanor made our dining experience even more memorable. We also had the pleasure of meeting Ibrahim, the chef at Harrah restaurant, who was not only talented but the funniest person we met during our stay! He added such a cheerful vibe to the evening. The cocktails throughout our vacation were absolutely wonderful, with every drink crafted to perfection. Whether by the pool, at the beachside, or during dinner, they were a highlight of our days. The resort itself is stunning, with beautiful beaches that make every moment feel like a dream. One of the most unforgettable experiences was swimming with the rays and sharks – it was thrilling and magical to be so close to such incredible marine life. Thank you, Heritance Aarah, for the impeccable hospitality and the beautiful memories. Every experience has been wonderful, and we are loving every moment of our honeymoon. We can’t recommend this paradise enough! Read less

Apparently there are over 170 island resorts in the Maldives but we have chosen to come to Heritance Arrah 3 years in a row! The reasons are many, wonderful villa's, superb premium all inclusive, clear turquoise water, excellent food, I could go on! But, what really draws us back are the people, there seems to be a magic ingredient that Heritance Arrah has, each person, front of house, gardeners, cleaners, maintenance, all greet you with a smile and offer service that is second to none. Our butler, Alessandra, really looked after us, nothing was too much trouble, she was so thoughtful and really helped make sure we had a holiday filled with magical times and memories. We can't recommend Heritance Arrah highly enough Read less

The resort is amazing! All the restaurants are so good with exceptional food and the staff is also very welcoming and professional. The rooms were extraordinary and the view from everywhere is heavenly. Our butler, Saurav, was extra helpful and available for any query throughout our stay. I would definitely want to come back here
