Welcome to The Village Café – a place where you can find all you could ever want while stranded on a desert island.

Indoor and outdoor AC helps keep you cool as you indulge on tasty sweet and savoury treats designed to keep you well-fed and feeling bright, energised and in tune with the island’s energy.

Enjoy a variety of pastries and sweet desserts that lighten any palette, top up on caffeine with a freshly brewed barista coffee or sample a variety of Euro-Asian dishes that warm the soul and can't help but make you smile.

We find guests gravitate to The Village Café every day, meeting up with loved ones to enjoy a drink together, replenish sugars after an afternoon workout or simply assemble before heading out for one of the many island activities that await.

Miss it and you'll regret it! Our roving Fulhi Bus is on the move, touring the island three times a day so no matter where you are, an ice-cold beverage or hunger-quenching snack is never too far away.

Doing loops late morning, early afternoon and then again just before sunset, be sure to catch the Fulhi Bus at one of the many pre-determined stops along its route.

The bus is jam-packed with drinks, treats and pre-prepared snacks. For the kids, order a round of ice creams. For the adults, a round of blended cocktails may be more the ticket. While you try hard to avoid brain freeze in the warm Maldivian sun, be sure to replenish your mood with a generous helping of chips, kettle corn, nuts, fruit and candy.

Refuel your liquids at our sports complex bar, serving a range of fresh juices, soft drinks and alcoholic beverages.

This is the place to cool off and refresh after a game of paddle tennis, football or volleyball, or simply prepare your body for a fun afternoon out on the ocean or playing mini golf while the kids try out their luck at the skateboard park. Or even if you’re just passing by, feel free to grab a drink and stay a while, who knows what sport you’ll end up playing!

A visit to the Maldives is not complete without unforgettable experiences and fond loving memories. That’s why we think it’s a must for all of our guests to experience destination dining around the island during their stay.

From isolated beach dinners for two to exciting family lunches from Seb’s watchtower, castaway jungle barbeques or even loud and eventful Village Square garden parties, our concierge can craft a bespoke dining experience for any audience or occasion.

Witness a transformation at 18:00 when our poolside eatery transforms into Pregolino – a casual yet sophisticated Italian-themed restaurant serving up flavoursome antipasti, pastas, pizzas and more.

Pregolino is perfect for those looking to socialise and enjoy their time on the island with others. Loosely following the casual café style of Trattoria, enjoy acoustic music, social seating arrangements and a fully stocked bar serving classic Italian cocktails and an extensive selection of wine.

Sample the many authentic Italian pastas and pizzas that incorporate fresh ingredients from the island's gardens, and be sure to check the specialty of the day which often incorporates freshly caught Maldivian seafood.

As you sit back and enjoy the Maldivian views, close your eyes and let the atmosphere transport you to a quaint coastal Italian town, complete with the ocean breeze, authentic acoustic music and buzzing European energy. When you open your eyes, find yourself in a place that perfectly marries the two, Amari style.

Get into the mindset of Seb and become the castaway you always dreamed of, just for an afternoon.

When you're stranded on a deserted island, utensils are nowhere to be found, so at Seb's shack expect to find scrumptious grab & go bites that are 100% utensil-free. Think sandwiches, deep-fried snacks, easy-to-eat morsels, drinks and ice-cold beers.

Inspired by Seb's island castaway creations, we inject a sense of surfer's paradise into proceedings with bean bags, loungers and guaranteed toes-in-the-sand chillaxing. Mingle with other guests, share stories with your loved ones or catch up after a successful Scuba dive – the choice is yours when it comes to Seb's Shack.

Open from 10:00 until just after sunset, SOAQ is our stylish poolside snack joint that adds some colour to your day… that is if the sun hasn't got there first.

On days you find yourself relaxing by the pool, why have to travel to another part of the island to find food when it can be served right to your deck chair or cabana?

Enjoy our delectable menu of late morning breakfasts, fusion Western and Asian dishes, comforting fast-food and healthy salads, drinks and shakes.

SOAQ up the atmosphere, enjoy sweeping views of the ocean, cool off in the water or just laze around with a popsicle in one hand and a freshly squeezed fruit juice in the other. This is the pinnacle of daytime leisure at Amari Raaya Maldives, before seamlessly transforming into a casual Italian restaurant by night, known as Pregolino.

Adventure into culinary obscurities and sample a Pan Asian-inspired menu from a beachfront, restaurant or rooftop bar.

Our talented chefs explore inventive food and drink options that highlight local ingredients, the best in premium imported meats and the freshest seasonal seafood caught the very same day.

Arrive early for a late afternoon snack or wait for sunset and forget time surrounded by the pink and peach hues of the renowned Maldivian sunset. Pair your experience with a sumptuous tasting menu that combines the deep flavours of Maldivian and Asian cuisines or take it back to basics with freshly grilled meats and garden-fresh vegetables.

Ampers&nd offers a contemporary yet cosy setting with a choice of restaurant, seafront and rooftop bar seating. Be sure to complete the experience with a personalised cocktail shaken by our very own in-house mixologist as you gaze out over the wild ocean horizon.

Wherever you are in the world, you can be sure to experience our passion for good food and atmospheric dining at our much-loved Amaya Food Gallery.

Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, enjoy all the island has to offer in our spacious open-air dining hub. Be spoilt for choice as you browse locally sourced seasonal dishes, themed dining extravaganzas, full-buffet breakfasts and our usual collection of market-like street food hawkers, live cooking stations and a generous serving of Thai, Asian and Western favourites.

Exposed to the elements but shaded for your comfort, enjoy an al-fresco feel with fresh ocean air at breakfasts, midday sun lunch refreshments and immersive island beach barbeques and Maldivian flair that add another dimension to our classic Amari foodie fanfare.

The great thing about being stranded on a luxurious Maldivian island is that we have everything you could ever want to do, all in the same place.

Our Outdoor Activity Zone is the hub for all on-land activities, from recreational sports to hidden jungle adventures.

Climb to the top of Seb’s watchtower and look across our mini island kingdom, spend an afternoon putting balls at the mini golf course or try your luck navigating the mangrove walkway by way of a guided walk that reveals the secrets of the dense tropical flora and fauna that gives life to the island.

And if you’d rather take things at a more leisurely pace, then head over to the pool after a fun game of paddle tennis and sip on a well-deserved cocktail in the soft afternoon sun.

Our well-equipped gym has all you need to keep up the regime or to burn off some steam in anticipation of a luxurious evening of fine dining and indulgent drinks.

The swimming pool and recreation centre offer up true fitness diversity, allowing you to take it easy or go all in without ever getting bored of the treadmill. And for all those eager to update your yoga socials, our dedicated yoga facility is sure to shine a light on your chakras.

With a beautiful beach paradise all around you, it can be easy to miss the hidden stories that originally brought this deserted island to life.

Feel safe in letting young kids roam high and low or join them on a family adventure for all as you explore the island and learn more about shipwrecked Seb and hunt for evidence of his life through art and remnant creations.

Older kids can venture out armed with a map and compass in search of puzzles, art and treasure, while younger kids get creative and discover their inner artist with art and craft activities that will keep them busy for hours. Parents with smartphones can even join in on the fun by scanning QR codes found around the island to learn more about Seb’s story and the history of his life as a portrait artist stranded with nobody to paint.

Needless to say, the Kids Club at Amari Raaya Maldives is more than just a place for kids, promising something fun for all the family.

Although shipwrecked Seb may have had trouble exploring the open sea, our team of diving instructors and ocean navigators know the local Atoll like the back of their hand.

With their knowledge, we can bring you a wide range of Amari Raaya Maldives water sports for all ages – including action-packed jet ski excursions, wakeboarding, monoskiing, water skiing and parasailing, as well as more leisurely experiences like paddle boating, snorkelling, dolphin cruises, fishing, island excursions and romantic sunset cruises.

Set atop some of the most stunning reefs and natural wonders of all the Maldives, Raa Atoll's sea life is plentiful and rich. Take a snorkel and gaze from just under the surface or get up close and personal on one of our many scuba diving excursions. Raa Atoll is known for its big fish encounters, including sharks, barracudas and sailfish – and if you're new to the sport, our PADI instructors are some of the best in the business.
