Brennia Kottefaru sits in Raa Atoll. The transfer is a 40-minute seaplane, which flies in daylight only. Packages from ₹127,499 per person.

Brennia Kottefaru is a 4.5-star island in Raa Atoll. About 40 minutes by seaplane from Velana International Airport. Seaplanes fly in daylight only, so an evening arrival into Malé means a night in the city before the hop across.

A northern atoll opened up relatively recently, so the resorts are newer than the Malé ones.

It has genuine overwater villas — not true of every Maldives resort, and the assumption that most often goes wrong when an island is picked on price. There are villas with their own pool and beach villas alongside the water ones. The categories are:

  • Beach Villa
  • Beach Pool Villa
  • Water Villa
  • Water Pool Villa

What the island is known for

  • Dolphin Safari
  • Morning Fishing
  • In-Villa Dining
  • Marine Conservation
  • Sunset Cruise

In the water

Frequently Asked Questions

By seaplane from Velana International Airport, roughly 40 minutes. Seaplanes fly in daylight only, so an evening arrival into Malé means a night in the city before the crossing.

Yes. It has genuine overwater villas, and most packages split the stay between a beach villa and a water villa because a full overwater stay costs noticeably more.

From ₹127,499 per person on twin share for the land package. Flights are quoted separately from your departure city unless the package states otherwise.

The categories are Beach Villa, Beach Pool Villa, Water Villa and Water Pool Villa. Which one a package quotes moves the price more than the season does, so tell us the category you want and we quote against it.

No visa is arranged in advance. A free 30-day visa is issued on arrival, provided your passport is valid at least a month beyond the stay and you hold a confirmed hotel booking and a return ticket.
