For the second year running, the five-star luxury Cora Cora Maldives resort has been awarded the prestigious Forbes Travel Guide ‘Recommended’ accreditation for 2025. The 67th annual list from the only independent global rating body spans more than 2,100 properties in 90 countries, celebrating the very best luxury hotels, restaurants, spas and ocean cruises.

Considered the pinnacle of achievement in the travel industry, attaining the ‘Recommended’ label from Forbes Travel Guide takes time, attention to detail, and enormous dedication to customer service. This comprehensive verification system assesses service, facilities, and overall feel of the property, and abides by the mantra “how the visit makes you feel is what you will remember most”.

Cora Cora Maldives offers guests a truly immersive and all-inclusive Maldivian experience – from exquisite dining to cultural excursions and unforgettable sun, sand and sea enjoyment.  Dedicated staff are on hand to provide a blissful getaway from the moment visitors arrive at the airport to be met by the all-female Airport Team, and during their stay on the pristine Raa Atoll. The ethos of ‘It’s Freedom Time’ at Cora Cora Maldives embodies the range of experiences across the resort, from the tranquil MOKSHA® Spa & Wellbeing Centre to the fascinating Dutch Onion® Museum, to the four restaurants and two bars offering delicious à-la-carte dining.

Justin Swart, General Manager of Cora Cora Maldives, commented: “We are delighted to celebrate our Forbes Travel Guide ‘Recommended’ award for the second year in a row. It is thanks to the absolute dedication of our outstanding team throughout the resort that we have achieved this enviable annual rating again. We are looking forward to 2025 when we will offer our new and returning guests the most delightful and memorable island escape.”

Comprising 100 villas, a water sports & diving centre, a gym, an overwater yoga pavilion, an outdoor cinema, and CoRa Kids® club. Cora Cora Maldives is 45 minutes by seaplane from Velana International Airport or 30 minutes by domestic flight followed by a 20-minute speedboat journey.
