Raya is an exclusive, private, membership-based online community that functions as a dating, networking, and social platform. It is known for its selective admission process and is commonly described as aimed at celebrities, creatives, and public figures, with a strong emphasis on real-world connections and privacy. Membership is gatekept by a review process, and access typically requires an invitation or an application that is vetted by a committee. The app is available on iOS (Apple devices) and has historically positioned itself as a more curated, less mass-market option compared to mainstream dating apps.
