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.

What a magnificent experience!So far the best resort I’ve ever been to:). Not just the views and the facilities, but also the service and all the staff there. The sea view on the island was stunning, and I barely saw any seaweed in the lagoon. Breathtaking views from all angles on the island, especially in your room. Rooms were big and comfy, with beach villas you don’t just have the room, but a whole private area, it was just so large. And I have to mention the housekeepers. Every time we came back from the outside, our room would be tidy as new,even my makeups were put in order. All the staffs there were so nice and were always there for us, when I say all of them, I mean it! Staffs at the restaurants, staffs at the lunch area, staffs at the beach club and the buggy drivers, etc :p… And our butler Yiting,she was always smiling and was so helpful. Always trying her best to find anything we might need. And my favourite part , the restaurants! Love the Thai omelette from breakfast! And the noodle soup! Yummyyyy! They even had honeycomb :p My favourite restaurant for dinner was definitely the Mediterranean restaurant! “Gambas” was amazing!!! You can’t really go wrong with any food there. Will definitely go back again!

It was our third stay at Reethi Rah and we were again overwhelmed with the choice of activities and the kindness and helpfulness of the personnel. Having missed Fandhita, the other restaurants, particularly Tapasake, and Botanica, were excellent. On the Missoni Beach, we would like to mention Ibrahim, Pranna and Ksenija who provided an excellent service. At the resort, Yting and Alejandra were very helpful as hosts. Also the staff at the Kid's Club, including Rassi. deserve a special mention. When we departed from Male Airport, there was a long delay at the checkin and Niyaz and Hussain were extremely helpful in smoothing the process. In addition, the villa cleaning staff excelled themselves (122 and 124). As a general remark, we would prefer a slightly higher charge for the stay instead of having to pay for all the extras separately , e.g. rock climbing with the children in the afternoon, to name one activity. Clearly the resort is in good shape under the management of Jan Tibaldi. Overall. we enjoyed our stay enormously. Nick and Esther D, Switzerland.

We had the most wonderful stay at One&Only Reethi Rah. We first came here in 2016 for our honeymoon, and have been coming back ever since – it has truly become a very special place for us. From the moment we arrived, everything was simply perfect – the island, the villas, the food, and especially the service. Last year was the first time we were finally able to come here with our baby, who was only six months old at the time. It was something very special for us to share this place with him. What made our experience truly special was the incredible care we received for our baby. Aani, one of the nannies at the Kids Club, is truly exceptional. She is incredibly warm, kind, attentive, and genuinely caring – the kind of person you instantly trust. She didn’t just look after our baby, she created such a natural, loving connection with him. You could truly see how happy, relaxed, and comfortable he felt with her, which meant everything to us. This year we came back again, and seeing him now a little older, already familiar with her and so happy to be around her again, made it even more special. Knowing he will grow up coming here and seeing Aani again makes it incredibly meaningful for us. What really sets this resort apart is the feeling it gives you – it truly feels like coming home, like being part of a family. Knowing our little one was in such loving and capable hands gave us complete peace of mind. This level of genuine care is something very rare and made our stay even more relaxing and memorable. We are already looking forward to coming back.💙🌺🌴

The resort is nice , all the so friendly in a professional way. They are all also helpful. All of them tries their best to make our visit, relaxing and enjoyable. The resort cares about the little details, which makes a big difference. Like we ordered coffee from the room service and they came to prepare the coffee at our villa rather then sending a cup of coffee. Shammu did a good job on that.

Stayed at One&Only Reethi Rah for the second time and it reinforced exactly why this place sits at the top. Service operates at a different standard. Every interaction is precise, proactive, and personal without ever feeling forced. Staff anticipate, not react. Food is consistently high-level across every venue. Quality, attentiveness, and variety all hold. Hospitality is the differentiator. There’s alignment across the entire team, not just standout individuals. That’s rare. Returned for our second time. Booked again for this year. That says everything.
