Cora Cora Maldives

Overview

Our Opinion

Cora Cora Maldives arrived on Raa Maamigili in October 2021, following a full change of ownership and a thorough reinvention of the property. What was once another resort has been transformed into a 4-star Deluxe All Inclusive with a distinct personality — fresh, modern, and quietly buzzing with a beach club atmosphere.

The overhaul was comprehensive: villa interiors refreshed to feel airy and contemporary, dining options expanded, and the spa, kids' club, fitness centre and dive facilities all upgraded. What stands out is the quality of food at this category — restaurant menus are varied and interesting, with a particularly strong selection of plant-based dishes. The Grab & Go service, which lets guests order takeaway from any outlet to enjoy in their villa or on the beach, is a clever concept that works well in practice.

One addition we'd welcome is a second beach bar away from the main Acquapazza area — guests have echoed the same, so it may well be in the pipeline. Meanwhile, don't overlook the island's history: Raa Maamigili has a rich archaeological past, with museum-quality artefacts on display and a resident curator who offers genuinely fascinating tours.

The dive team are approachable and enthusiastic — well worth a visit. The house reef is accessible directly from the shore, though it extends away from the island, and the guided snorkelling trips are the best way to reach the more rewarding stretches.

All told, a very good package at its price point — comfortably recommended.

Summary

Opened in late 2021, Cora Cora Maldives is a contemporary resort on a lushly vegetated island in Raa Atoll, set within an expansive turquoise lagoon. Its 100 villas are spread around the island, and the premium all-inclusive concept offers a fresh, colourful take on laid-back luxury in a relaxed setting that suits families, couples, solo travellers and groups alike.

Each villa has been designed with comfort in mind and sits either on the beach within the tropical vegetation or out over the sparkling waters of the Indian Ocean. Both one- and two-bedroom villas are available, and many come with their own private pool.

Dining spans a range of venues. Acquapazza is the Italian restaurant and beach club, offering all-day drinks, a late lunch, and music by the pool and on the beach. Tazäa explores the flavours of the ancient Spice Route alongside timeless comfort classics, all with a sunset view. Ginger Moon brings the sizzle and energy of an Asian street market from dinner time until late. Teien is a Japanese restaurant serving fresh sushi, kushiyaki and more. MYCOFFEE delivers non-stop coffee, tea, ice cream, bar drinks and snacks in an open-air lounge-cafe setting.

For an easy alternative to dining out, the Grab & Go takeaway concept brings together signature dishes from every outlet.
