Nestled in close proximity to the Baa Atoll UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, the InterContinental Maldives Maamunagau Resort is located on a picturesque private island 152 kms north of Velana International Airport in the Raa Atoll. Our private island escape is an explorer's delight with a myriad of diverse marine life including manta rays and dolphins that frequent our lagoon. A short 45-minute by speedboat, guests can swim among the largest known population of manta rays at Hanifaru Bay, one of the few places in the world where whale sharks congregate to mate. Upon arrival, our guests are greeted by the resort's Airport Representatives before being whisked away to our dedicated lounge at the seaplane terminal to await a 35-minute scenic seaplane journey to the resort. Guests arriving to Velana International Airport after 3.30 pm will be escorted to the domestic flight terminal prior to their 20-minute domestic flight to Dharavandoo Domestic airport where they will embark on a 35-minute speedboat transfer to the resort.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does booking through Rialto cost more than booking with the hotel?
No - VIP rates under IHG Destined always meet or beat hotel's public, flexible rate, and provide valuable amenities and possible upgrades. Rialto also provides the hotel's non-VIP and corporate rates, so you can compare with full transparency.
Can my AI assistant book this hotel?
Yes. Connect Rialto to Claude or ChatGPT with our AI hotel booking MCP server and ask for rates. You finish the booking instantly on a secure Rialto page, direct with the hotel. Card details are not sent through the AI chat, so either you would approve the final checkout step and reconfirm all the information, or if you authorize your agent with Computer-Use permissions, it can fill out the checkout form as well.
What is the value of the VIP benefits?
Daily breakfast for two plus the $100 hotel credit come with every stay at this hotel - adding $100-200/day in value. A room upgrade could also be worth a substantial amount, in addition to early check-in / late check-out benefits when available.
Do I earn IHG One Rewards points and keep my elite benefits? Is this considered a direct booking or a third-party booking?
Yes. The booking is a direct reservation with the hotel, so it earns IHG One Rewards points and elite-night credit, and IHG One Rewards elite status benefits apply.
How does this compare to other programs, like through AMEX Fine Hotels & Resorts, or Chase Edit?
Using a hotel's own VIP program may provide higher upgrade priority, additional VIP benefits and promotional rate offers, and a direct relationship with the hotel for special requests. Rialto offers more VIP hotels than any credit card program. In addition, Chase Edit rates can be substantially more expensive as they rarely run promotions whereas AMEX rates are often comparable but do not offer programs such as Upgrade at Booking.
