Alila Kothaifaru is a sustainable private-island resort in the Maldives’ remote Raa Atoll, with 80+ pool villas, a treetop spa, and a vibrant house reef.
Alila Kothaifaru is the Maldives outpost of Hyatt’s Alila brand, set on an 11.2-hectare private island in the remote Raa Atoll in the northern Maldives, around a 45-minute seaplane flight from Velana International Airport at Malé. The Raa Atoll is one of the less-developed parts of the country, which keeps the reefs healthy and the crowds light.
The resort runs to more than 80 villas, designed by Singapore studio Studiogoto in an eco-minimalist style built around clean lines, natural materials, and a neutral palette.
Every villa comes with a private pool, split across beachfront categories from 202 sqm and overwater villas from 125 sqm, with newer two-bedroom villas and the Boduge Residence added for families and groups.
Dining covers a spread of restaurants and bars, from the all-day Seasalt to Japanese at Yakitori and Umami. Spa Alila, a treetop spa set in the canopy, anchors the wellness side.
