Discover Alila Kothaifaru Maldives
Your Maldivian Island Paradise
Surrounded by a stunning house reef, Alila Kothaifaru Maldives offers guests serenity and adventure in the Raa Atoll, a scenic 45-minute seaplane journey from Malé. The mostly uninhabited chain of islands plays host to some of nature’s most spectacular wonders, and the Alila perfectly positions you to experience the best. Enjoy spectacular sunrise or sunset views from one of the 80 beachfront and overwater villas.


Restful & feeling relaxed
Spend your days in the company of our certified marine experts, as you explore the richness of the underwater world from diving through incredible reefs teeming with schools of pelagic fish, to snorkeling with hawksbill turtles and manta rays. Come evening, cast out on a sunset cruise, and enjoy cocktails at dusk in the company of spinner and bottlenose dolphins. Or head to nearby Vaadhoo island, where you can witness the extraordinary Sea of Stars phenomenon, when bioluminescent phytoplankton in the island’s reef causes the sea to glimmer like the starry night sky.

Adventures in Paradise
Unforgettable Island Escapes at Alila Kothaifaru Maldives
If you’re craving more than just sun and sand, Alila Kothaifaru Maldives offers a perfect blend of thrill and tranquility. Set in the breathtaking Raa Atoll, the resort invites you to explore both land and sea through thoughtfully curated adventures that go far beyond the ordinary.
Dive into a World Beneath the Waves
With a vibrant house reef just offshore and access to the world-famous Hanifaru Bay, the underwater experiences here are nothing short of spectacular. Whether you’re snorkeling over coral gardens or diving with manta rays and whale sharks, the marine life in these crystal-clear waters will leave you in awe. Even if you’re new to diving, expert guides are there to make it smooth and safe.
A Private Island All to Yourself
Imagine having your own secluded sandbank for a few hours. That’s exactly what The Shack offers. You can spend the day surrounded by nothing but turquoise water, enjoy a rustic picnic, or return in the evening for a sunset BBQ with a private chef. It’s the kind of escape you dream about and it’s real.
Witness the Sea of Stars
A short trip from the resort takes you to Vaadhoo Island, home to one of nature’s most mesmerizing sights: the Sea of Stars. Here, the ocean glows at night thanks to a rare natural phenomenon. It’s a quiet, almost surreal experience that stays with you long after you’ve left.
Adventures Above Water
If you’re looking for something a little more active, try kayaking through calm lagoons, paddleboarding at sunrise, or hopping aboard a sunset cruise in search of dolphins. Each outing is designed to help you see the Maldives from a different, unforgettable perspective.
Find Your Balance in Nature
Adventure doesn’t always mean high speed. Sometimes, it’s about slowing down. At Alila, you can start your day with yoga by the beach, book a treetop spa session, or simply wander through the island’s peaceful paths. The setting itself invites calm and clarity.
