The resort staff also organise gui-
ded trips to deeper areas, where
the corals grow like underwater ci-
ties. There, the current is stronger,
and you feel the ocean’s power. We
saw reef sharks—harmless but im-

to see it—and, above all, you have
to be there.

made me rethink the very concept
of beauty I had held until then.
Nights at Raaya are dark, free from
light pollution. The sky fills with
stars that seem as close as the
atolls did from the seaplane. Slee-
ping after a day in the water is not
sleeping. It’s surrender.
