One&Only Reethi Rah

The best hotel we have ever visited, this is our second time . In this hotel or resort, everything is ideal, starting from the very welcome at the airport, the phenomenal yacht that takes you to the island, the welcome on the island – unlike other hotels, upon our arrival, we were greeted by the General Manager of the resort, Mr. Jan, and the Resort Manager, Miss Larisa. The villas offer perfect privacy, which is very important to me, nice pool.The resort is arranged down to the smallest detail. I'll give just one example: while cleaning the sand around the villa, they create geometric figures from it. Moving on to the beach club, Missoni, beautiful music, very tasty food, and an extremely kind girl, Ksenija, who took every order with a smile. Always polite and smiling. Even though my favorite place for swimming was the other beach with a pool. In this resort, all the restaurants are like Michelin-starred restaurants. Fandita, where the sunset is beautiful, phenomenal cocktails; Aqua, where we enjoyed a lovely intimate atmosphere; and of course, the best in the world, the Tapasaki restaurant, the only place in the world where I personally eat sushi, where the chef will come out and explain where the fish and seafood came from. During our stay, we had the opportunity to enjoy and try the food of two chefs who have Michelin stars. Such a taste of food, the presentation, the combination of flavors – something unrepeatable. All of this was beautifully explained in our, shall I say, Balkan language by Aleks, yet another waiter who demonstrates that in this resort, everything is at the highest level. My favorite at Tapasaki is the dessert, Chocolate Fingers; you absolutely must try them.As we returned here second time John remember what is my favorite desert. Thats tell to me how much every person on the island take care for guests. As I don’t drink alcohol vine card of non alcohol vines is very big, and all form vine what I tried was very good. Since I'm already talking about sweets, I have to mention Chef Lajos, who makes very tasty desserts and is always ready to fulfill every child's wish when it comes to sweets. Last but not least is the kids' club, where our son spent time with pleasure. I think it's every parent's dream while on vacation that when you ask your child, "Do you want to come with me to the beach or go to the kids' club?" you hear that they want to go to the kids' club. A big thank you to Bunny, who spent time with our son. The level of the resort is sufficiently spoken for by the fact that everyone in the kids' club is, at any moment, ready to bring the child to you, wait for them to chat with you, and then take them back to the kids' club. After our second visit to this resort, we have one big problem: we cannot find anything similar anywhere else anymore. :) I wholeheartedly recommend the resort. And a huge thank you to Aleks, Ksenija, Lajos, Bunny, Miss Larisa, and Mr. Jan for an incredible vacation. We will definitely see you next year as well.

Back from our 3rd visit and it reconfirmed why we did- there just isn’t anyplace like it if you want your own little bit of heaven. Our host Yiting took excellent care of us and always greeted us with a warm and genuine smile- she’s a special young lady. And a huge thanks to Adonis, who we were lucky to have as our personal trainer. If you want someone to make a work-out fun, he’s your man. O&O are lucky to have both of them on their staff! The new Tapasake structure is stunning, no doubt and well worth the investment. But, we miss the old outdoor setting in the garden. For us, some of the indoor spaces in the new structure lack warmth and ambience, but this is obviously a matter of a taste. Fabulous sunsets and views across the reefs. Fanditha is still our favourite- the setting cannot be beaten. A huge thank you to all the genuinely kind and thoughtful staff, from all the restaurant staff, gardeners who keep the landscaping in pristine condition and to the housekeeping team! We will be back and are looking forward to seeing all the new upcoming improvements put into place. Not sure how they’ll top what’s there, but knowing the philosophy to be the best, I am sure they won’t let us down. See you soon One&Only Reethi Rah!

Just returned from the One&Only Reethi Rah. My family and I had another terrific February holiday. A unique resort in Maldives which offers beautiful villas and beaches, lots of restaurant options (Japanese, Asian, Italian, French, Middle East Fanditha, etc), great Spa and sport facilities and a very professional and client focused service. Great investment in the new Tapasake restaurant. Thank you for another great holiday

We had a wonderful stay at the resort and truly enjoyed our time. The weather was great although we were told it might rain, we were lucky to have beautiful weather throughout our stay. The resort offers many restaurants, so there is always variety, and plenty of activities to enjoy, including water sports and a very relaxing spa experience. The team was very professional, extremely friendly, and always happy to have a good conversation, which made the stay feel warm and personal. The kids’ club was excellent. There is a dedicated pool and two playrooms for kids. The area is not very large, but it is well organized and offers many different activities, with new things for children to enjoy every day. The team was amazing—fun, caring, and very engaging with the children. We especially appreciated that the kids’ club team speaks multiple languages. We also really enjoyed the food, especially at Botanica and Fire❤️ Thank you to the entire team for the amazing work and for making our stay so memorable.

There are luxury resorts… and then there is One&Only Reethi Rah. From the moment we arrived, something shifted. Time loosened its grip. At some point during our stay, we genuinely forgot what day it was and that’s when we knew: we had officially made it to paradise. We’ve stayed at many Maldivian resorts over the years, but the staff here? On another level entirely. Warm without being formal. Attentive without being intrusive. They don’t just provide service they anticipate you. They remember your coffee order, your child’s favorite dessert, how you like your sunbed set up. It feels personal in a way that’s rare and unforgettable. You can tell leadership makes a difference. The resort is run with Swiss precision and heart and it shows. Every team member carries the same calm excellence, the same genuine care. It’s not scripted hospitality. It’s real. The food deserves its own standing ovation. Every dinner felt like an event. Not just delicious (which it absolutely was), but curated, thoughtful, immersive. Each restaurant had its own personality, and somehow every meal became a memory. The kids club staff are so gentle, so kind, so naturally wonderful with children. Our kids didn’t just “go to kids club” they thrived. They made friends, created things, came back glowing. That kind of trust and ease as a parent is priceless. When it was time to leave, we cried. Not polite, “we’ll-miss-this” tears. Real tears. Because when a place makes you feel that relaxed, that cared for, that present… it stays with you. Paradise stays paradise. And this one? It’s the real thing. We’ll be back. Without question. 💙 The S Family
