NH Maldives Kuda Rah (former Amaya Kuda Rah Maldives)

On Kuda Rah Island in the South Ari Atoll, Maldives — a turquoise-sand hideaway minutes from top dive sites like Kuda Rah Thila and Maamigili Corner, famed for whale-shark encounters. This resort is diver-friendly, family-friendly and ideal for honeymooners seeking privacy.

Villas range from beach duplex suites to over-water bungalows with balconies or terraces. Rooms come with private pools, Jacuzzi tubs, outdoor rain showers, minibars, AC and Bluetooth-ready sound. Expect a modern island vibe, intimate layouts and plenty of sea views for that postcard moment.

On-site restaurants, bars and a snack bar set the social scene. Facilities include a swimming pool, kids club, gym, game room, spa treatments (extra charge) and a night club. Dive trips, sunset fishing, dolphin watching and sunset champagne cruises are offered — perfect for wake-up-to–sea-breeze mornings and long, salty evenings.

Free WiFi and wireless internet access available in rooms and public areas.

Multiple on-site restaurants and bars serve a mix of fresh seafood and Maldivian-inspired dishes alongside light bites from the snack bar. Drinks and sunset cocktails are easy to come by for post-dive wind-downs.
