Whether you're swimming in the company of sea creatures or just watching them from your villa suspended over the sea, water is a way of life at One&Only Reethi Rah. Few islands in the Maldives are more idyllic or spacious than the one that houses this decadent compound, where a dozen beaches – that's right, 12 of them – beckon from villas with cathedral ceilings and shaded verandahs, some with a private plunge pool. A chic boutique sells Stella McCartney swimwear you’ll love to flaunt, and sommelier Jean Sebastien Azaïs oversees one of the largest wine cellars in the world – some 30,000 bottles, ranging from rare Bordeaux to boutique South African labels.

This year at O&O has become an anniversary year for us, we have visited the island 10 times. 10 times we were delighted with the rest. We would like to thank the entire O&O team and say that despite the fact that the island itself is amazing, people still decide, and here they are the best. And there are those who make our holidays really special. Our favorite area on the island is the beach club. This is probably what makes the island unique. Lots of entertainment. It is impossible to get bored here, and typical Maldives become completely atypical with the preservation of the surroundings. We literally lived there and never wanted to leave. Especially on water sports. As a big sports fan and a person who rides everywhere and on everything, I can say with confidence that the island has the best water sports of all the resorts where we have ever been. And this is 100% the merit of the team that works there! There is no such high-level service at any resort where people will dive to you just to put on skis or secure them better. The guys know how to create a mood, quickly teach any activity and give unforgettable emotions. Separately, I would like to mention Gato, who can super clearly tell you when to do what and if you follow his instructions, you will get any trick. In addition to professionalism, Gato has a talent in the field of video shooting. It was immensely gratifying to receive footage and videos that were fundamentally different from those that everyone has. Filming Gato on a drone exceeded all expectations! I would like to thank Thohtho for demonstrating tricks right out of the water, he was very motivated and inspiring, I always wanted to reach out and at least get a little closer to this level of skill. Gato and Thohtho are a unique tandem, the guys have always had the best trips, whether it's wakeboarding, water skiing or a trip to a desert island. The guys made sure to take an awning with them, towels, water, and organized a family shoot for us. All trips were accompanied by well-chosen music and a great mood. And after a good rental, be sure to have a happy dance. Have you ever seen such support anywhere? The guys are very charismatic and energetic! The icing on the cake was that while wakeboarding, the guys even managed to find and show us dolphins, these are unforgettable emotions! In short, they took care of us all the time, paid attention to every detail and showed that they were the best of the best! I would also like to thank Shiyaаn, who is also always there for us and traditionally arranges the best jetski, boat and banana tours every year, showing us the most beautiful places in the Maldives and capturing them on camera. Thanks to Richte, who fills this place with a special atmosphere, he is especially kind, attentive and caring. He's the kind of guy who'll dive in to help you at any minute! I've never met such people before! All of the above guys are very athletic and pumped up, it's a pleasure to ride with them! It is clear that they are professionals! I would also like to mention Katya, who quickly joined the process and caught the wave of the atmosphere that prevails there. It was always a pleasure to chat! In general, I would like to thank everyone who has been working on the island for many years - it is those who have been working for years - who make the most impression on their holidays! Thanks to Adam and Muse! From the recommendations, I want new activities to appear on the island every year. I really want the wakesurf to be returned and closely follow the trends so that you can always try something new and interesting. Thanks to all the guys who work directly at the Beach Club itself. Maamaa, who was always very attentive to us and was always interested in how our vacation was going, what else we could do. Thanks again to everyone who has known us for years and continues to fulfill our every request and creates a good mood! Thanks also to Shippa, Shiman, Rassi, the guys are already so close! Thanks to the girl who sells ice cream. Next, I would like to say about the spa, which also pleases every year! I am glad that there are Espa cosmetics, I want to always have the full range of the line available. Here I would like to mention Sabina, who is always very helpful and talks about everything, and Bindu, who does the best massages and treatments! I have never received such pleasure! She is very kind and cheerful! Let's move to the breakfast area, where, thanks to the guys who have known us for many years, especially Mugay, Naappe, Ahmed Shareef , Hafeez, we have always had an abundance of fruits! It's nice that the guys remember what we love and are always attentive to our wishes. And before entering for breakfast, Fathuhee always greets, who not only always helps to put up bicycles, but is always very kind to all guests. He always tries to say something in Russian, always surprises with his creative talents and gives pleasant things made with his own hands, which then always remind you of a wonderful vacation! Many people have known us on buggies since an early age, they know how much we love to ride and always share our memories together! It's nice that the team is so attentive and hospitable. I don't remember all the names of the guys, but I can definitely mention Maal and Easa. I would like to note that the level of cuisine in the main restaurant, in Aqua and Earth, has grown significantly. It became very tasty! And they entered the top of the best and our favorite restaurants! Just like the mega project, Tapasake. Thanks to the guys from the diving center, special thanks to Nabeel! For many years now, he has been organizing the best excursions for us, making the best underwater shots, and inspiring admiration for his professionalism and skill in free diving. It also helps you catch fish while fishing! Thanks also to his partner who was with us! The guys show incredible care, you just swim up to the boat, and they already take off your fins, you just start climbing the stairs - you are already greeted with a towel. This is a wow service! Finally, I would like to say about the Butlers. We probably had the only negative impression here during the first week. This time, Aziz was assigned to us. Aziz did not fulfill his duties, never approached us, did not inform us about upcoming events and events. When asked why they didn't even send us a schedule for the week, Aziz didn't try to solve the situation in any way, but simply refused us. After that, he never even greeted us. I'm not even talking about the fact that I've never put my hand to my heart, as is customary on the island, this is a very nice and friendly sign of the island! I ask you to pay attention and take measures against Aziz, we are not the only ones who are unhappy with his work. Such indifferent and unprofessional people should not work at such a high-level resort. You should pay attention to the Russian-speaking host and be sure that each of the employees is proactive and makes every effort to ensure that your stay is as comfortable and high-quality as possible. Fortunately, in the second week they gave us Taya, who did an excellent job with all the duties and was the complete opposite of Aziz. An example of how to work. Thank you to Tae, who always helped with everything, informed about everything, always took me to bugs before dinner and promptly resolved all issues! Many thanks to the hotel management! To the General Manager Jan B. Tibaldi, Larisa! Thank you for setting the bar so high! I would also like to express my deep gratitude to everyone who made this holiday unforgettable and I look forward to the next meeting with everyone we have known for years and who has already become so dear and beloved! Thank you! Regards, Polly Kharitonenko

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.
