About Ranthari Hotel and Spa Ukulhas Maldives

Ranthari Hotel and Spa is a beachfront boutique property on the local island of Ukulhas in North Ari Atoll, reached from Velana International Airport by scheduled speedboat transfer. The hotel has 42 air-conditioned rooms with flat-screen TVs and sits directly opposite Ukulhas' designated bikini beach. Distinctive facilities include a rooftop infinity pool with a 360-degree lounge, the Taste Restaurant serving international and Maldivian dishes, and the Saimaa Spa offering treatments for guests. The island's house reef is accessible from the shore, and the surrounding North Ari Atoll waters are known among divers and snorkellers for whale shark and manta sightings; activities are arranged through third-party dive and excursion operators on the island. Ukulhas itself is recognised for its community-led environmental and waste-management initiatives, making it one of the more visitor-friendly local islands in the atoll. With a 4.7/5 rating from 218 reviews, Ranthari suits couples and small groups looking for a comfortable local-island base with on-site pool and spa facilities, snorkel and dive travellers wanting direct access to North Ari's reefs, and visitors who prefer an inhabited island to a private resort.
