The Travel Gallery Take – Located on a large island and in the relatively remote Raa Atoll, this property offers standard 4* + facilities. The villas are very spacious & the island doesn’t feel crowded. The food and beverage packages offer some flexibility when compared to other properties of its standard, but the choices can be limited depending on which meal plan you select.
