NH Maldives Kuda Rah has opened as a little slice of reprieve from the pressure of the modern world.
It’s been a year, hasn’t it, and it’s only August! If that means you’re already looking for a suitable escape from the rat race, a little corner of sophisticated serenity where the sun shines, the cocktails are always chilled, and the vistas are straight out of an airport postcard rack, you might be in luck.

The newest hideaway in the Maldives, a destination that’s as easy on the eye as swimsuit season, NH Maldives Kuda Rah Resort, located in the South Ari Atoll, promises you an Indian Ocean panacea for whatever first world problems ail you.
Not only is the seaplane ride from the international airport shorter than your morning coffee break, but the new resort counts some of the archipelago’s best diving and snorkelling sites – home to everything from majestic reef sharks to blue striped snappers, whale sharps, manta rays and turtles – as its closest neighbours, meaning there’s plenty to do above and beyond the waters of the turquoise lagoon.

Home to just 51 modern suites and villas, each of which features an inner-facing courtyard (for those that put a price on privacy) or beach-facing pool, NH Maldives Kuda Rah Resort (even the name sounds relaxing, kuddda rahhh) also has foodies covered, with all-day-dining venue Sea Spray combining leisurely breakfasts and inventive vegetarian dishes with stunning sea views, while Ocean, the resort’s speciality restaurant, does a great line in freshly-caught seafood. You’ll also sample your way through Maldivian cuisine at Malaa, home to a captivating open-air show kitchen, and toast those poor wretched souls back home at poolside cocktail bar Glow.
If you’re still struggling to align those chakras, head to the spa, which serves up traditional Balinese and Thai massages; burn away the struggles of the year at the state-of-the-art gym; or hit the sea on whale shark excursions, dive trips, flyboarding above the azure waters, or a spot of big game fishing.
