As one of the deeper atolls in the archipelago, the Raa Atoll offers abundant snorkelling and diving options to discover its rich marine life, from colourful corals to manta rays and sharks. Beyond swimming in our stunning house reef, enjoy easy access to the famous Hanifaru Bay UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve in the period from May to November. This protected marine sanctuary is the largest feeding and breeding hotspot in the world for manta rays and if you’re lucky, you’ll see whale sharks, which at times congregate here in their hundreds.
