At a glance
Heritance Aarah is a great luxury choice. It’s located in the Raa Atoll, separated from other resorts and islands, giving you Robinson Crusoe seclusion.
It’s made up of wooden, thatched roof villas. The understated luxury of the design is very charming.
The interiors feature lightly accented colours, complimenting the tropical paradise of the island.
The island is fringed with soft sand beaches and coral reefs. This hotel is geared towards relaxation, although you can engage in many water-sports if you’d like to stay busy.
The hotel can also arrange dolphin cruises and trips to other islands. There are two swimming pools and an upscale spa. Premium all-inclusive offers are available to book.

Despite having problematic laws concerning LGBTQ+ rights, the Maldives is one of Out Of Office’s most popular destinations. Due to the geography of the Maldives, each island is essentially run by the resort that occupies it. We work with an incredible selection of resorts, many of which have LGBTQ+ management, that are welcoming to the LGBTQ+ community.
Accommodation
Beach Villas bring the beach to your doorstep. These are very chic villas. They have open-air verandas and they give you direct beach access. You can also upgrade to a Family Beach Villa for more space.
Pool Beach Villas come with a private pool and sun loungers. The Pool Beach Villas are right by the beach too, so you can easily head for a dip in the Indian Ocean.
Ocean Villas give you the iconic overwater bungalow experience in the Maldives. You’ll be surrounded by the Indian Ocean. The villas come with a private outdoor deck.
This is the top luxury choice. The Ocean Residence is suitably grand for a romantic trip, coming with a private infinity lap pool and a separate nanny’s room.
