One&Only Reethi Rah
About this hotel
Occupying one of the most expansive islands in the North Malé Atoll, One&Only Reethi Rah defines the Maldivian high-end retreat through sheer scale and design. Set just a 40-minute speedboat ride from Malé, the resort feels like a private sanctuary, offering a level of space that is rare even by regional standards. With six kilometres of private coastline and 130 villas, the island encourages a sense of seclusion, whether you are staying in an over-water structure suspended above the lagoon or a beachfront villa nestled in mature tropical flora. The ambience is one of curated refinement; it is sophisticated yet unpretentious, appealing equally to families seeking activity and couples prioritising privacy. The sheer size of the island ensures it never feels crowded, offering guests the freedom to curate their own pace. Signature experiences are built into the resort’s geometry, from dining amidst the garden-to-table setting of Botanica to enjoying the Middle Eastern-inspired beachfront atmosphere at Fanditha as the sun sets. Whether taking advantage of the extensive tennis facilities, cooling off in the various pools, or retreating to the One&Only Spa for a tailored treatment, the focus is on personal space and curated leisure. It is an ideal setting for those who value an island that functions as a self-contained destination rather than merely a base for water activities.
Why we love it
Unrivalled Space and Privacy
With 130 villas spread across an expansive island featuring six kilometres of coastline, the resort offers an extraordinary amount of personal space. Unlike smaller Maldivian resorts, you are guaranteed privacy and a genuine sense of seclusion, even when the occupancy is high. It is rare to find such beachfront real estate.
Diverse Culinary Options
The dining landscape is remarkably varied for an island resort. With twelve distinct restaurants and bars—including the refined Japanese flavours of Tapasake, the casual Italian approach at Rabarbaro, and the botanical-focused menu at Botanica—you are provided with a genuine culinary journey without ever needing to leave the resort.
Exceptional Sports Facilities
Reethi Rah stands out for its commitment to active luxury. With twelve professional-standard tennis courts, the resort offers facilities far beyond the standard hotel gym. It is the perfect choice for guests who want to keep up their sporting routine in an exceptional tropical setting.
Seamless Access
The convenience of reaching the resort via a 40-minute private speedboat transfer from Malé is a major advantage. It avoids the complexities, waiting times, and weather dependencies often associated with domestic flights or seaplane transfers, allowing you to begin your holiday the moment you land.
Generously Proportioned Villas
The villas are celebrated for their scale, whether you choose a Beach Villa with direct sand access or a Water Villa perched over the lagoon. The thoughtful internal design maximises both comfort and views, ensuring that the villa itself acts as a private retreat throughout your stay.
Caters to All Parties
The resort is expertly configured to cater to both couples and families. With the dedicated KidsOnly club, younger guests are well-catered for with supervised programmes, while adults can enjoy the tranquillity of the spa or the varied beach bars, ensuring a balanced experience for everyone.
