About this accommodation
Royal Island Resort & Spa sits on Horubadhoo Island in Baa Atoll, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve roughly 120 kilometres northwest of Male. Guests reach the resort via a 20-minute domestic flight to Dharavandhoo Airport followed by a short speedboat transfer, with Flyme (Villa Air) operating the standard ATR-72 service. The property offers 152 beachfront villas built in wood with private patios, sitting areas and direct views of the Indian Ocean, each fitted with a bathtub-equipped bathroom and television. Dining is handled across two restaurants and three bars, with Maakaana serving daily international buffets and Raabondhi focused on seafood. The Araamu Spa is located in the island's inner jungle, and recreation facilities include an outdoor pool, gym, tennis courts and water-skiing. The resort's Baa Atoll setting puts Hanifaru Bay within about 25 minutes by boat, making seasonal snorkelling encounters with manta rays and whale sharks a practical option between roughly May and November. An all-inclusive meal plan is available alongside Full Board, Half Board and Bed & Breakfast programmes. With a 4.7 rating from close to 1,500 reviews, Royal Island suits travellers who want a mid-size private-island stay with reliable diving and snorkelling inside a protected atoll.
