Royal Island is a faraway island retreat where every day is a new chapter. Located in the heart of the Baa Atoll, less than 20 minutes from Velana International Airport by domestic flight, our all-inclusive resort brings together the intimacy of a village, the spirit of escapism, and the warmth of Maldivian culture.
