Yapa Sunset Bar

Adjacent to Yuzu, Yapa is where evening drifts into leisure. This intimate overwater bar captures the playful spirit of exploration. Its name, Peruvian slang for “a little more,” fits perfectly. Sip rare Japanese saké, or indulge in pisco, mezcal, and tequila cocktails crafted with imaginative flair. Pair your drink with artful tapas—sashimi, sushi, sliders, oysters—each designed for sharing and savouring.


As the horizon fades to indigo, Yapa becomes a haven for conversation and connection, where time slows and the sea keeps rhythm. You’ll linger a little longer, just as sailors once did before setting out again.

Bell Bar

Named in honour of explorer H. C. P. Bell, this elegant bar captures the quiet glamour of a bygone age. Within its softly lit interiors, shelves gleam with vintages and rare spirits; a collection to rival those once reserved for the Royal Cellars.


Here, every glass tells a story: of journeys charted, cultures met, and discoveries made. Sip a signature cocktail inspired by Bell’s travels, or linger over a perfectly aged whisky as the evening deepens. Bell Bar is a place of refined indulgence; a meeting point for explorers of taste and time.

Yuzu

Suspended above the lagoon, the Peruvian-Japanese fusion restaurant Yuzu invites you to embark on a culinary voyage through Nikkei cuisine. The menu is a study in contrasts and harmony; light yet layered, delicate yet daring.

Each dish tells a story of the sea: ceviches kissed with citrus, sashimi adorned with tropical notes, textures and flavours that dance between continents. Here, artistry unfolds in every bite, mirrored by the turquoise waters below. Whether by daylight shimmer or candlelit glow, Yuzu transforms dining into a sensory journey — vivid, surprising, and utterly unforgettable.

Thari

An all-day menu traversing Southeast Asia and the Mediterranean, offering some of the world’s most sought-after wines and champagnes.

The main island is home to Thari – our easy-going, all-day restaurant.

The Firepit

As the day yields to dusk, the flicker of flame calls guests to gather at The Firepit, a beachside celebration of earth, fire, and sea. Beneath a canopy of stars and the soft hum of the waves, evenings unfold in an atmosphere of warmth and camaraderie.


Twice a week, this open-air ritual brings together Asian and Mediterranean flavours with island flair: smoky, spiced starters, expertly grilled specialties, and vibrant sides inspired by local produce. From the scent of woodsmoke to the hush between waves, every element conjures the romance of a campfire on distant shores. It’s dining that feels both timeless and primal: a tribute to voyagers, dreamers, and lovers of the sea.

Raffles Spa In the peaceful embrace of our overwater spa, your level of relaxation will be profoundly deepened. Be it one of our wellness treatments which combine the power of nature with ancient rituals to heal, soothe, nourish and uplift or our innovative beauty treatments, our therapists will ensure that you have the finest, most personalized wellbeing experience.

There are plenty of other stunning tropical locations around the globe - and some even much closer to home - so why the Maldives? "The most unique aspect of the Maldives is certainly the one island, one hotel concept," explains Richard. "Each resort is located on its very own private island, creating an exclusive and peaceful environment. The Maldives is also known for its lush natural surroundings and wildlife, with resorts being built in harmony with nature."
