4 Restaurants & 2 Bars

Four restaurants and two bars. Tazaa anchors the daily dining with spice-route fusion; Acquapazza brings Italian poolside; Teien delivers teppanyaki and sushi; and Ginger Moon — staffed by an all-female chef team — serves Southeast Asian street food. MYCOFFEE doubles as a cafe and cocktail bar.

Tazaa

Spice Route Fusion

The resort's main dining venue — an all-day restaurant drawing on spice-route flavours from India, Sri Lanka, and the Middle East. Live cooking stations at breakfast and themed buffet nights at dinner.

Dining Inclusions

Cora Cora operates on a single mandatory Premium All-Inclusive Gourmet Plan — there is no other option.

Meal plan prices are a guide only — generally an average across the year. Resorts can change them at any time, they often vary by season, and a plan sold in one season may not be offered in another. We'll confirm what's available and the exact price for your dates.

Your Days on the Island

Cora Cora is anchored by its 100-hectare untouched house reef — one of the largest in the Maldives — and an active coral restoration programme. The MOKSHA Spa offers overwater treatment rooms with sound healing and yoga. On land, the Dutch Onion Museum is a genuine heritage site documenting the island's colonial past.

Family-Friendly Features

CoRa Kids Club runs daily for ages 3-12. Activities span yoga, nail painting, t-shirt designing, nature sessions, ice cream making, and coral restoration trips. The Two Bedroom Lagoon Pool Villa with Slide is the standout — an ocean slide directly from the terrace into the lagoon. The single mandatory board basis removes the financial complexity of travelling with children.

House Reef & Underwater

Cora Cora sits on one of the largest untouched house reefs in the Maldives — over 100 hectares of living coral surrounding the island. Shore entry is available from multiple points along the beach and the water villa jetties. The reef supports blacktip reef sharks, turtles, eagle rays, and a wide diversity of tropical fish. An active coral restoration programme invites guest participation. The real marine highlight beyond the house reef is seasonal access to Hanifaru Bay's manta rays in neighbouring Baa Atoll (boat trip from Raa).

PADI dive center on-site. Night snorkeling available. Marine life observations sourced from dive logs and guest reports.

Transfer from Malé

Cora Cora Maldives is in Raa Atoll, approximately 136 km north of Malé. The standard transfer is a 45-minute seaplane flight via Trans Maldivian Airways. Alternatively, a domestic flight to Ifuru Airport (35 min) followed by a speedboat (20 min) works for late arrivals when seaplanes are not operating.

Who This Resort is For

Reviewed by Tym Lewtak, founder of LuxAtolls ·Updated Sep 27, 2026

Cora Cora's everything-included model is its defining strength. The mandatory Premium AI Gourmet Plan removes the running-tab anxiety that plagues many Maldives stays — premium spirits, champagne, spa treatments, sunset excursions, and full dining access are all built in. The 100-hectare house reef with coral restoration is a genuine standout, and the on-island Dutch Onion Museum adds a heritage element that no other resort offers. Ginger Moon's all-female chef team and Southeast Asian street food have become a signature draw. At under $900/night with everything included, this is competitive for a 5-star in Raa Atoll.
