Every time you arrive in the Maldives, it seems that exclamation marks were invented just for these places. No sun more dazzling, no sunset more captivating, no sand whiter. The Norwegian explorer Heyerdahl called the Maldives the beauty spot on the face of our planet — a description that still holds.
The main Maldivian mystery is the playing with time. It stretches as if you are swinging in nirvana above the amazing blue of the ocean waters. Then suddenly, in an instant, you realise it has ended, leaving bronze kisses on your body and memories of the endless attention and care of those who made your rest truly happy.
InterContinental Maldives Maamunagau Resort occupies the Raa Atoll with 81 villas on Maamunagau island, designed in a modern Maldivian style. It is the first hotel in the InterContinental brand network that is all-inclusive. Six restaurants and bars each carry their own concept.
The Lighthouse is a Mediterranean cuisine restaurant located in a tower styled as a lighthouse in white and blue tones — a design that is itself a landmark on the island. The resort’s proximity to the Baa Atoll UNESCO Biosphere Reserve provides the extraordinary opportunity to snorkel with manta rays. These gigantic yet graceful creatures swim, flutter, and circle in a formation that resembles some kind of mysterious underwater dance.
Guests who have experienced it describe the emotions as permanent — among the most exciting moments of their lives. The philosophy of barefoot luxury governs the design of spaces, which a team of designers built with nothing that would remind you of the hustle and bustle of the outside world. Here you feel like you are in a cradle, swung by Maldivian indulgence and beauty, hotel staff creating an ambiance of carefreeness and enjoyment.
